Our Journey to Certification...
We founded CRU Kafe back in 2013 with a clear purpose. At a time when most coffee available to everyday consumers was of questionable taste & provenance we wanted to champion speciality grade beans that we could be sure were sourced ethically & fairly - benefitting not only our customers, but our producers and growers as well.
B-Corp seemed the perfect fit for CRU Kafe - so we decided to take on the task of gaining our accreditation...

The B-Corp Declaration of Interdependence
We envision a global economy that uses business as a force for good.This economy is comprised of a new type of corporation - the B Corporation -Which is purpose-driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
As B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:
That we must be the change we seek in the world.
That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place matter.
That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon anotherand thus responsible for each other and future generations.
