Fjord Roast: Sustainability at the Heart of Our Business
At Fjord Roast, sustainability isn’t just a part of what we do—it’s the foundation of our entire business model. From the way we source and roast our coffee to the packaging we use, every step is designed to minimize environmental impact and support equitable value distribution across the supply chain.
1. Empowering Coffee Producers
Unlike traditional coffee supply chains, where roasting is typically done far from the source, Fjord Roast enables coffee producers to roast their own beans. By keeping this value-adding process at the origin, we help ensure financial sustainability for coffee-producing communities. More of the value remains where it is needed most, empowering farmers and their communities to thrive.
2. Reducing Transportation Impact
Roasting coffee at its origin also reduces environmental impact. When green coffee is roasted, its weight decreases by approximately 10-15%. By transporting roasted coffee instead of green beans, Fjord Roast minimizes the volume of goods shipped, significantly lowering emissions associated with global transportation.
3. Compostable Packaging
Our commitment to sustainability extends to every detail, including our packaging. Fjord Roast exclusively uses compostable packaging materials, ensuring that our products leave no lasting waste behind. This is part of our dedication to protecting the outdoor spaces that inspire our coffee experience.
Fjord Roast combines innovation and responsibility to bring you coffee that’s better for the planet and the people who grow it. With every sip, you’re not just tasting an adventure—you’re supporting a sustainable future.
