Re-Cycle’s Corporate Partner, Chimney Fire Coffee, a Surrey roastery has become one of only 700 businesses in the UK to be awarded B Corp status, an international commendation of its social and environmental performance.
Celebrating its fifth anniversary, Chimney Fire Coffee near Dorking was founded in 2017 and has become Surrey’s fastest growing coffee roastery – offering a range of whole bean, ground and pod coffee in fully compostable packaging to consumers and coffee shops, as well as bean to cup tasting experiences.
“I started Chimney Fire Coffee with the ambition of making speciality coffee more accessible to a wider audience while also maintaining sustainable business practices, so it’s gratifying to be recognised with B Corp certification,” says Chimney Fire Coffee founder Dan Webber, who worked in coffee and cocoa traceability and ethical supply chain analysis before launching his business.
“We wanted to make sure that sustainability was an absolutely integral part of our philosophy at every stage of Chimney Fire Coffee – from the sourcing, packing and delivery of our coffee to the charities and events we support.”
