Sustainability Policy

Following consideration of the importance of environmental sustainability and a commitment to be a benefit to the community, Crosby Coffee is committed to striving to achieve environmental and social sustainability in its practices, and the delivery of its services. This will include:

• Continuing our partnership with the Green Earth appeal to plant trees on our behalf to offset the carbon footprint of our printed paper cups produced for our customers
• Committing to continually improve the environmental and social sustainability performance of the business
• Regularly updating and implementing our Environmental Management Systems
• Ensuring the implementation of our environmental action plan in accordance with the green codes of practice requirements

We work closely with our coffee partners to ensure a lasting relationship from farm to coffee cup. The majority of the coffee we trade has either been certified Fairtrade or to an equivalent certification such as 'Farmgate' and 'UTZ'. 

At the Crosby Coffee shop we only use environmentally friendly packaging and disposables, such as;

• Eco bio-degradable napkins
• Cornstarch cutlery
• Eco Paper straws
• Brown Kraft paper bags
• Recyclable coffee cups
• WAVE re-usable cups

Crosby Coffee will comply with all relevant legislation and regulations. The business owner has responsibility for business operations, including acting as the Sustainability Co-ordinator.This includes responsibility for ensuring on going environmental performance, identification of environmental risks, recording and monitoring of impacts and implementing environmental and social sustainability measures. Special consideration will be given to employing and empowering local staff and wherever efficient and environmentally sustainable, products and services will be sourced locally.We will encourage our staff throughout their training and inductions and throughout their working days to present our commitment to environmental and social sustainability to our customers, suppliers, contractors, and agents.
