Our greatest footprint will always be the coffee

EverBean exists to provide everyone with better coffee, but with the smallest possible footprint on the planet. For us, it is essential to measure and develop based on the parameters that make sense to the consumers.

Why it makes no sense to compare yourself to others

At EverBean, it doesn't make much sense for us to measure our climate footprint directly against our competitors. Not because we aren't ambitious – quite the opposite – but because it quickly becomes an exercise that is more about numbers and image than real change.

Climate footprints are measured in scopes:

  • Scope 1 concerns our own direct emissions, e.g., from the gas roaster.
  • Scope 2 covers our electricity consumption. But the big picture
  • Scope 3 – lies far beyond our own walls: the transport of green beans, cultivation, packaging, consumption, and waste. This is where most of our footprint lies. But this is also where it becomes difficult to compare.

Because how others calculate their data, which sources they use, and what they include (or omit) varies wildly.

We could easily find nice average figures and use them to look "better" than others. But that wouldn't help us become better. Instead, we focus on what we can control and improve – our own processes, our choice of suppliers, and how we work with them to move in a greener direction.

For us, it's not about being "better than the others." It's about being better than we were yesterday. That is the only comparison that truly matters.

We believe in a better world, with good coffee, social responsibility and care for the planet

B-Corp

B Corp certification is an international standard for companies that balance profit and purpose. It is not a one-time status, but an ongoing process where the company must constantly document and improve its social and environmental efforts. A perpetual evolution, not a destination.

RE-ZIP

RE-ZIP is a circular packaging system where customers return reusable packaging via a parcel shop and are rewarded for doing so. It reduces waste and CO₂ and fits perfectly with EverBean's responsible approach to sustainable trade.

VortX

The VortX Clean Air filter effectively purifies the air during coffee roasting by removing smoke and particles, thereby improving the work environment and reducing environmental impact. A perfect match for EverBean's commitment: clean air and quality coffee from bean to cup.

You decide

We are well aware that we can never make coffee without leaving a footprint – but we decide what it looks like. It is our choice, our compromises, and our responsibility.

When we choose a coffee, it is never just one thing we look at. It is always a balance between price, footprint, and taste. Marketability does not come first. We know we could sell more if we compromised a little more – but we would end up with something we didn't like ourselves. Something we couldn't stand behind.

We work with the small producers. Those who live in the shadow of the big ones – who don't have money for advertising, but who keep going anyway because they love what they do. It is them we want to support. Not because it is easy, but because it feels right.

We are not perfect. But we do our best. We constantly ask ourselves: Can we stand behind this? If the answer is not a clear yes, then we don't do it. That is how we think about sustainability – not as a calculation, but as a conscience.

We are committed to

1. Smaller footprint

We believe that even small steps can make a big difference. That is why we are constantly working to reduce our climate footprint – from the sourcing of raw materials to the way we package our products. In our roastery, we use a Vortx Klean Air filter, which significantly reduces CO₂ emissions, and we are working purposefully to reduce the use of single-use packaging. We are constantly looking for smarter, more recyclable, and environmentally friendly solutions, so you can enjoy your coffee with an extra clear conscience.

2.More growth

We support and trade with coffee farmers who are passionate about their craft and the people around them. We partner with those who put community before personal gain and who wish to use their work to uplift their local communities. To us, good coffee is not just about taste – it is about creating strong, fair partnerships with passionate people who want to make a difference where the coffee grows.

3. Greater potential

We want to create growth, not just for the sake of the business, but to be able to take on greater social responsibility. We believe that people thrive best when their unique strengths are allowed to flourish – not when they are squeezed into pre-defined job boxes. Therefore, we want to create workplaces that have room for diversity, development, and new paths, so that together we can build something that benefits both people and the community.
