How to Make your Business More Sustainable
20th February 2023
With on-going discussions around the climate crisis, sustainability has become more and more of a priority for businesses.
How can you ensure that your business is doing everything it can to help make the world a better place? Here are some sustainable business ideas to help you get started.
Supporting Non-Profits
Liquidline are extremely proud to be partnered with Change Please, a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting people experiencing homelessness by training them as Baristas. Choose to support a charity that you are passionate about and feel reflects your values as a business. Alternatively, you could show support for Change Please by substituting your current coffee beans with theirs, proceeds from which will go back into the amazing work they do to help end homelessness.
Ethically Sourced & Fairtrade Products
A simple sustainable business idea is ensuring that any products that you purchase for consumption by staff and/or customers are ethically sourced or Fairtrade. From coffee and tea to the free fruit in the break room, making this easy change can help make your business more sustainable. Our selection of Fairtrade products include our own Café Bonté coffee, Clipper teas, and a range of other consumables.
Carbon Neutral Coffee
Let us help you become a more sustainable business, with great coffee.
Our Triple Certified Café Bonté coffee beans are carbon-neutral, Organic and Rainforest Alliance certified. Every time you purchase a bag, you are contributing towards providing safe drinking water in Malawi, Africa. Currently one of the least developed countries in the world, many people must boil water to make it safe to drink, which involves lots of manual labour and the cutting of trees for firewood – this task is mainly taken on by the women. By helping to provide safe drinking water to the people of Malawi, we are reducing the release of carbon emissions as this process would not be necessary with clean water.
Ditch Disposable Cups
It’s 2023 – there is really no need for non-recyclable disposable cups or other ancillaries any more. Say goodbye to damaging plastic and hello to biodegradable paper cups and stirrers. Or, if you want to help save both the environment and long-term costs, you can opt for reusable crockery. Our branded/customisable crockery range is ideal if you’re wanting a more professional look.
We hope these sustainable business ideas have sparked some inspiration for you. If you would like to find out more about the products that Liquidline have to offer, get in touch today.
