Our 3 Commitments: Blockchain Edition

At Ethical Grounds Coffee, blockchain goes beyond hype. It provides proof. Every bag gets a QR code linking to immutable records: farm origin, certifications, premiums paid. Responding to our supply lapse, we're making "fair-trade" verifiable by Q3 2026.

How It Works

1. Direct Trade Partnerships: Suspended third-parties; now 100% with cooperatives in Ethiopia, Guatemala, Colombia, Indonesia. All are 20-30% above market for living incomes.

2. Blockchain Tracking: Real-time data on shipments, verified post-arrival. No more black-box supply chains.

3. Living Income Pricing: Fairtrade Reference Pricing ensures sustainable earnings, not just guarantees.

Plus Climate Action

Joining Fairtrade International; 2% sales to Coffee & Climate for farmer tools.

See It Live

On March 1, we will launch the ethicalgroundscoffee.com/transparency dashboard, which will include sourcing data, payment details, and farmer stories.
