Good to the planet.
We are committed to sustainable business practices from crop to cup-supporting farmers as they nurture their environment and minimizing our own footprint here at home.
Certified Organic Facility
We believe in organic, both for the benefits it brings farmers and for the way it makes our own practices more environmentally friendly. In 2008, we became a certified organic processing facility and have been audited for organic compliance every year since.
Zero Waste
Waste? Not here! Our production facility on Vancouver Island is run under a zero-waste mandate. We use 13 different streams of recycling and compost all organics. Last year alone, we composted over 20,000 lbs of organic matter and reclaimed 24,000 empty coffee packages.
Upcycling
We care about what happens to our packages. This is why we started our upcycling program, a trash-to-treasure initiative. We work with a Filipino poverty alleviation organization ( Work of Your Hand ) to transform your used coffee packages into beautiful purses, handbags and wallets. Learn how to Upcycle your package here.
Green Commuters
We think that how you get somewhere is just as important as arriving, especially if it involves bikes! For this reason, Level Ground employees choosing green commute options are subsidized for their efforts. Last year, we travelled nearly 52,000 kms by bus, bike and carpool. That is almost one and a half times around the world!
