Every Day We’re Looking To Be Better To The Planet.

Which is the only way we think we can truly make a real difference. We look for the greenest solution we can afford as a independent micro-roaster.

We selected our roasting equipment for production, how we choose the materials used for packaging, the produces we source for workshops and all our business decisions from day one to now must always at it’s core be aimed at producing the least amount of CO2 footprint as possible and be in support of our principles.

Forest Regeneration Projects:

The Longhill’s Tree Project.

In June 2021, we spent a day at my families sheep farm in Ochiltree, Ayrshire where The Longhills Flock lives. I spent the day planting 68 indigenous British tree’s throughout the hedge lines of the fields where one of the biggest flock’s of Portland sheep in the Uk reside. We identified area’s across the 100 acres as being ideal environments for the tree’s to grow and planted a variety of Ash, Oak and Birch in our effort to help with the rewilding of the Galloway and East Ayrshire Biosphere. Covering an area of 5268 square kilometres the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere is a status given in recognition of its special natural qualities. It is home to 95,000 people who want to make life better while caring for the natural environment..

The Atlantic Forest Reforestation Project.

In March 2021, we treated ourselves to 10 tonnes of Carbon Credits through Gold Standard and donated 100 Trees on the behalf of our customers to the reforestation project in the Atlantic Forest. This goes towards the goal of restoring more than 37 million acres by 2050, a pact undetaken by numerous organisations to represents one of the largest habitat restoration efforts ever undertaken.

 

A Higher Standard - For climate security and sustainable development.

Gold Standard was established in 2003 by WWF and other international NGOs to ensure projects that reduced carbon emissions featured the highest levels of environmental integrity and also contributed to sustainable development. With the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals, we launched a best practice standard for climate and sustainable development interventions, Gold Standard for the Global Goals, to maximise impact, creating value for people around the world and the planet we share.

Gold Standard was founded on the principle that climate action cannot be one-dimensional - climate projects must deliver meaningful sustainable development benefits beyond emission reductions. The success of our approach has influenced both the UN’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and other voluntary standards to raise the bar and include sustainable development within some of their climate projects. This all helps deliver on our mission to catalyse more ambitious climate action to achieve the Global Goals.

 

One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

As an environmental charity, they’re dedicated to making it easier for individuals and businesses to give back to the environment, create a healthier climate, protect biodiversity and help reforestation efforts around the world.

Started in 2014, they have more than doubled the number of trees planted year over year. Fast-forward to today, they now work with awesome reforestations partners in North America, South America, Asia, and Africa who help get trees in the ground to restore forests after fires and floods, create jobs, build communities, and protect habitat for biodiversity.

For every kilogram of Bonzo Espresso sold through our wholesale partners, we’ll donate £1.00 of the profit to One Tree Planted and their partners in North America, South America, Asia and Africa to support reforestation and community projects striving for a better quality of life.
