Wakuli doesn’t buy certified coffee. We build direct relationships that put farmers in control. We encourage the production of high-quality, sustainably grown coffee, and we pay a higher price for it. We’re an impact-first company, always aiming to do better. Traditional, slow-moving certification systems don’t play a role in our approach to changing the industry.
So why make an exception and get certified as a B Corp? With B Corp, we hold up a mirror to our own operations through the in-depth B Impact Assessment. The key difference? Unlike other certifications, B Corp places the burden of proof and financial responsibility entirely on us, not on the producers. That way, our B Corp certification benefits our partners at origin, rather than placing more pressure on them. That’s why we made this one exception to our rule. Curious to know more?
