We have plans, more than that, we have dreams.
We dream of what Ethical Addictions could be and could achieve for farms, communities, charities and for us.
Please read about our story and what we're doing but our dreaming goes beyond this. We plan to do more directly with the producers and their families giving them hope and sustainability for their futures.
We plan to continually monitor and improve our business based on feedback and relationships with our customers, suppliers and friends.
We plan to continually monitor our ethical foundation and how that affects our business. We've already identified ways in which we want to improve in the near future. We want to package our coffee more environmentally friendly, using recycled packaging and ensuring it is also recyclable after use. We want to work with delivery services to help achieve neutral emissions by paying back into renewable sources or contributing to reducing Co2. We're working on things like this but some is out of our hands. If you know ways to help us get in touch.
We're planning on increasing our product range. All businesses start small but we want to offer a complete service and choice to our customers. We're working on some innovative lines right now, again fairly traded, and again working direct with producers here possible. We're researching further coffee products, including a swiss-filtered decaffeinated coffee. We also are trying to develop a range of equipment to help produce that perfect cup of coffee. In all of this we are trying to ensure we do not compromise our ethical foundation and again we'd welcome any input from you.
Tell us your dreams for EA, for coffee and for Africa, we want our friends to journey with us.
