OUR 

SUSTAINABILITY 

PHILOSOPHY

"We understand that it is only by implementing sustainable and socially responsible business practices today, that future generations will be able to enjoy coffee, tomorrow."


Veneziano Coffee Roasters Founder, Craig Dickson


Here at Veneziano, we believe in coffee with significance and our mission is to drive and inspire significant evolutions in coffee and create meaningful positive impact on our communities. That's why we make sustainability just as important as the quality of our coffee, because without it we won't have delicious coffee to share with future generations. This is a snapshot of what we have achieved so far in making our business a force for good, new projects we're working on and our high-level goals to ensure we do our bit to protect coffee and the land we love.

Packaging recyclability 

improvement project

Still in our testing phase, we are intending on changing the material make up of our packaging to ensure it not only keeps your coffee tasting fresh and delicious, but by making changes to achieve a higher value recycle product at the end of life of the packaging, by doing this we can ensure the soft plastics we used have more than just one life.
