Zero Footprint Coffee Team


The core Zero Footprint Coffee team is currently comprised of dedicated coffee people from Canada, Boston and Honduras and we will be adding a few more people. The supply infrastructure is scalable at both ends of the supply chain and includes the support of regional roasters for fulfillment.

Our main goals: 1. Deliver Zero Footprint Coffee to coffee consumers, 2. Invest in coffee regions that have received little support and access to advancing the transition to renewable energies, and 3. Grow a coalition of companies, organizations, institutions and individuals in support of reducing the global coffee carbon footprint.
