Ethical Sourcing

Our success is linked to the success of the farmers and suppliers who grow and produce our products.

Helping these people thrive helps ensure the long-term sustainability of the premium products we provide. Whether it’s coffee, tea, cocoa or manufactured goods, we’re committed to offering ethically purchased and responsibly produced products of the highest quality.

1. Coffee

   

   We seek to serve high-quality coffee that is responsibly grown and ethically traded. We do this through our coffee purchasing practices, farmer support centers, loan programs and forest conservation efforts.

2. Tea

   

   Tea is the world’s second-most popular beverage after water. Our commitment to a long-term strategy of ethical tea sourcing is a chance for us to use our scale for good on a global scale.

3. Cocoa

   

   Our cocoa-purchasing practices are designed to ensure a long-term supply of high-quality, ethically sourced cocoa. We verify our cocoa supply chain with inspections performed by independent verifiers.

4. Manufactured Goods

   

   We’re committed to responsibility in our merchandise, furniture and the other items found in our stores. We work with suppliers who share our commitment and adhere to the strong standards we’ve set.
