Starting , Stumptown Coffee Roaster’s kicks off “Earth Month” with a campaign celebrating its commitment to the earth, people, and coffee.
Fittingly, Stumptown also unveiled a brand-new coffee: “Supernature,” an organic blend sourced from producer partners doing sustainability work that benefits their farms, their communities, and the planet. Supernature is available online, at Stumptown cafes, and through select wholesale partners across the country starting today.
“The pandemic and the many diverse challenges of the recovery, globally and in our own backyards, have given us an increased appreciation for the fragility of life – in our relationships, in our communities, and on our planet,” says Stumptown President, Laura Szeliga. “We’re ever more cognizant of how our decisions affect people, the environment, and the communities where we operate and source coffee around the world, which gave our work in 2021 even more significance and meaning.”
B Corporation Recertification Underscores Commitment to Sustainability (And Garners a Near 10-point Increase)
Stumptown first became a certified B Corporation in 2018, committing to continuous improvement in accountability and transparency on topics ranging from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. B Corp requires recertification every three years, which includes an extensive audit and re-scoring of how a company measures in accordance with their entire social and environmental impact.
“B Corp’s detailed recertification process gave us an opportunity to see how we progressed against our priorities,” says Szeliga. “After months of hard work by many people on our team, Stumptown happily received our recertification – and saw our qualifying score improve from an 80 in 2018 to an 89.7 in 2021.”
