Impact of Sustainability On Our Business
Too early to quantify financial impact of our sustainability efforts
It is a core value of Caribou Coffee to support the communities we impact
Creating a culture of sustainability keeps us rooted in what’s really important!
How Sustainability Builds the Caribou Brand
As heard recently from Caribou Coffee customers when asked about what’s important to them in a gourmet coffee experience….
“When you know the ethos behind the coffee, it makes you feel a lot better about what you are
buying”.
“It’s just not right to pay $3 or more for a cup of coffee and not have some kind of impact on the
farms that grow the beans in the first place.”
“Isn’t it just right to give back?”
Caribou Coffee Sustainability Campaign
Launching an education campaign in our retail stores beginning on Monday
Promoting all of our RA certified coffees, special offer of a free RA frog with the purchase of beans
For our kids…
…..and theirs!
We are so proud to be part of the Rainforest Alliance!
