Is the coffee B Corp certified?
B Corp is a company certification, not a product one — so whenever you see it, it’s telling you something about the business behind the brand, not just the item you are holding.
What is a Certified B Corporation™?
Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, envision a better economic system where businesses can benefit people, communities, and the planet. They choose long-term investments over quick wins, and measure their success based on the positive impact they create. Driven by a desire to create an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy, the B stands for ‘Benefit’, which means Certified B Corporations care about people and the planet, alongside profit.
Companies verified for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The assessment is reviewed about every three years. It is ongoing work.
What is the B Impact™ score?
Certified B Corps are businesses of all shapes and sizes, across the world, who are not just talking about having a positive impact, but that are making sure their impact is tangible, measurable and transparent. They measure their impact across five ‘Impact Areas’ including: Workers, Customers, Governance, Environment, and Community.
Based on the B Impact assessment, IncaFé Organic Coffee earned an overall score of 111.3. Certification requires 80. The five impact areas (Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers) add up to this overall score. The median for ordinary businesses is 50.9. See the full breakdown on our B Corp profile.
Does the coffee change?
Not at all. It’s the same organic coffee, roasted in the same location by the same hands. The certification looks at how our business is run.
