All the right ingredients for a classic startup story: a university trip to Uganda, a share-house with six bedrooms, unlimited access to a professional podcast studio and an urge to act on climate change.
July 2018: Luke, Isaac and Brody celebrate the start of a new partnership after Kua purchases one tonne of coffee.
What does it mean to be Climate Positive?
Ethical sourcing is an essential component in the fight for climate justice. When purchasing coffee, we consider social, economic and environmental dimensions, with respect to conditions of the past, the present and the future. Read our ethical sourcing framework here.
By 2050, the world's coffee growing regions will be cut in half by climate change. As well as paying true prices, building climate resilience is another essential livelihood safeguard.
We invest all our profits in projects that build climate resilience in communities where Kua coffee is grown.
The coffee industry’s wrap-in-plastic then send-to-landfill model is clearly not sustainable. Low impact or circular alternatives are needed to reduce waste and connect consumers with coffee’s true environmental impact. All Kua packaging is either reusable or home compostable. For large business customers we partner with local organisations to recycle used coffee grounds.
All businesses must take responsibility for their carbon emissions. Kua has been carbon negative since 2019 and is committed to measuring, reducing and communicating its business and product footprint each year. Learn more about our 200% offset program and measurement here.
Halfway between a company and and a foundation. We invented a business structure to make sure Kua is always be impact-first:
Build in public
Act on purpose
We are housemates
Celebrate big ideas
The best way to support Kua is by drinking our coffee.
