GROWING TOGETHER

Salt Spring Coffee’s 2nd Annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report

It started with an organic farm on an island off of Canada’s West Coast.

Everything in this corporate social responsibility report and everything we have done and will do to live up to our motto—Believe in Being Better—is informed by those roots in organic farming. Pioneering new approaches to sustainability. Collaborating with and growing in step with the people who form the links of our supply chain. Our partnerships with organizations such as B Corp, 1% for the Planet and LOCO BC connect us to practices and projects that improve our relationships with one another and the planet that sustains us. Now we are making a commitment to document those actions and measure the results. This report is how we define better. We see this as the next part of a continuing dialogue that has collaboration as its foundation, and we invite you to be part of the conversation.
