Cafe Bom Dia
Café Bom Dia has been a family-owned company for four generations. Now they’re helping future ones.
As fourth generation coffee growers and roasters, Café Bom Dia’s entire business is inextricably linked to the environment. They know better than most how much we all depend on a healthy planet – and how a healthy planet depends on sustainable practices.
So they have made a major commitment to such practices by taking steps like converting roasting furnaces to cleanly burn wood from post-production coffee trees. It’s all so they can leave future generations a thriving company. And a thriving planet.
How The CarbonNeutral Company helped:
- We conducted a greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment of all aspects of Café Bom Dia’s business operations, including energy use, travel and waste.
- We advised Café Bom Dia on setting stretching internal reduction targets, which have delivered a 74% reduction in energy costs; a 64% reduction in water usage and an 87% reduction in waste sent to landfill.
- We reduced Café Bom Dia’s unavoidable emissions using carbon offsets from our Unity project portfolio, verified to the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS).
As a company which is dependent on nature to help grow our raw material, we witness first-hand the negative impacts of climate change. We are fully committed to sustainable business practices, such as reducing our carbon footprint, as a means to preserve the health of our environment for future generations.
