Market Lane Coffee

We were thrilled to be invited to this panel to discuss responsible packaging with B Lab Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand and our community of B Corp businesses at Swisse Wellness (part of H&H Group) last month. Our Head of Impact & Partnerships Suzannah Hoban joined the panel to talk about the challenges and successes in our journey to find more sustainable options for packaging our products. It was fascinating to hear the experience of Dom Fitzgerald from Thankyou and illuminating, as always, to learn from Kaitlin Harasym of Phantm. Thank you so much to B Local Melbourne for organising and Elise Giles for hosting the panel.

"At Market Lane, we’re proud supporters of Children's Ground, a bold not-for-profit organisation that is advocating and making change for a brighter future with, and for, First Nations children, families and communities. There are several ways that we walk with Children's Ground. We’ll summarise these here to hopefully inform and inspire individuals and businesses wanting to develop a meaningful connection and partnership with Children’s Ground and/or other likeminded First Nations organisations, but perhaps unsure where to start." https://lnkd.in/gP7tHMS6

Amazing opportunity to work with a genuinely values-led business in specialty coffee.

Some of the most inspiring and brilliant people we’ve met are the women we’re connected to through coffee in Rwanda. We deeply admire and continuously learn from their hard work and determination, and commitment to quality and community. This week, we’re celebrating extraordinary Rwandan women coffee producers.

It's B Corp month and while the many great ideas from the B Corp Assembly last week continue to distill, we're reflecting on our B Corp journey so far, and how we're moving forward. One of the main reasons we wanted to become B Corp certified is to give our customers certainty and confidence that we are verifiably doing what we say we’re doing, and that we enact the values we espouse. Here are some of the ways we live up to our B Corp certification: https://lnkd.in/gZWsTHt9 #bcorpmonth #bcorpassembly2024 B Lab Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand
