"For generations, coffee drinking has been a fundamental part of British culture, and it should surely be mentioned in the same breath as other staples such as bread, milk, and eggs. As such, we must be even more mindful about where our coffee comes from, how it is produced, and the waste we generate from consumption."

IMPACT REPORT
Our 2023-2024 Impact Report details our direct sourcing practices, our carbon reduction goals, and our new Community Impact Fund.
Where our coffee comes from
Our mission is to create a completely transparent supply chain, built on strong relationships with mutual benefits. 88% of our coffee is directly traded, and 88% comes from people with whom we've been working for over three years.
Reducing Use of Single-Use Plastics, Waste, and Emissions
All of our bag variants and coffee pods are made from the same certified 100% compostable materials, including the valve and zipper (BS EN 13432). We use fully plastic-free, 100% FSC recyclable delivery boxes of all sizes and coffee cards to label each coffee, all made in the UK.
In 2024 we began our in-house carbon accounting, focussing on detailed analysis of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions - with the goal of reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by 95% in the next ten years.
Community Impact Fund
We have been working in partnership with Re-Cycle since June 2020, donating 25p from every 250g bag and £1 from every 1kg bag of all sales from our Discovery Coffee range to the charity.
Our new Community Impact Fund supports charitable causes, focussing on three key areas which align with our core values. Each year 10% of our net profit (minimum contribution £5000) will be donated to the fund, to be distributed within three key areas to long-term charity partners.
A Healthy, Happy Workplace
People are the most important part of any business, and at Chimney Fire Coffee we’re extremely fortunate to have a diverse team of coffee, marketing, supply chain, manufacturing, and sustainability professionals, all with similar values.
We are proud to be a Living Wage Employer, and host regular team outings and volunteer days.
