We've been carbon neutral since 2007

We choose to keep it cool - the planet, that is.

With the help of Climate Smart we’ve measured our carbon footprint, offset our greenhouse gas emissions and put in place practices to reduce our emissions in the years to come.

To achieve carbon neutrality we've:

• Reduced the volume of greenhouse gases that we emit into the earth's atmosphere

• Purchased green electricity and green natural gas from Bullfrog Power to power our Viking Roasting Facility

• Worked with Offsetters to ensure our purchase of carbon offsets is invested in renewable energy and clean technology projects that would otherwise not be developed without financial support

Carbon Cool.

You’ll also find the Carbon Cool mark on every bag of our coffee – it’s just a little reminder that we are committed to operating our business in the most environmentally friendly way that we can. We've even received kudo's from our friends at the David Suzuki Foundation who case studied the Carbon Cool program in their report Doing Business in a New Climate - see download below

The study details our efforts to develop the Carbon Cool brand and how its implementation has made Salt Spring Coffee one of the world's first coffee companies to offer its customers a carbon neutral cup of coffee. Keep reading »
