sustainability is the starting point
We pledge to neutralize any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and socially beneficial offsets to achieve and exceed net-zero annual carbon

A SUSTAINABLE COMPANY
together we are helping to heal our planet by offsetting 10 times the CO2 we produce.
PLANT A TREE
When it comes to the environment, the coffee industry has a dirty reputation. As an integral part of this industry, we are responsible for the impact our choices have on the planet we live in and the planet we will leave behind for future generations.
As a lifelong commitment towards the planet, we have partnered with Tree Nation, an Europe-based social enterprise.
In our One for One model, per every product you purchase we plant a tree and register it in your name. With every order you will receive an email with a link to our forest outlining your contribution to the planet.
WE GO THE EXTRA MILE WITH ROUTE
Route now offers Carbon Neutral Shipping.
Route is covering the cost to neutralize your shipping emissions when you order “1-Click Protect + Green” at checkout with one of our Green Partners. Each order supports our reforestation project in Brazil. That means you can take instant climate action just by shopping — no donation required.
FAIRTRADE
The magic starts with the coffee bean farms which is why we believe coffee farmers should earn the same status as French winemakers! We are Fairtrade certified so that you can drink your coffee with the knowledge that every sip supports the people who grow your coffee beans.
By choosing our Fairtrade certified coffee, you are guaranteed that the coffee beans are grown using rigorous standards, which support farmers and their communities and help protect the environment.
