Join the B Corp Coffee Coalition
More and more companies in the coffee sector recognize that long-term resilience and responsible growth require collaboration beyond individual initiatives.
The B Corp Coffee Coalition offers a space to take part in that shift.
While all B Corps are already driving change, most challenges we face are systemic and cannot be solved by individual companies alone.
The B Corp Coffee Coalition brings together Certified B Corps across the coffee value circle to move beyond isolated initiatives and turn shared values into collective action.
Joining the coalition means being part of a growing group of leaders who are actively shaping a more resilient, regenerative, and equitable future for coffee.
Reasons to join the coalition
1. Act Together Where It Matters Most
Collaboration across companies, roles and regions leads to more robust, practical, and scalable approaches to shared challenges.
2. Rethink Business as Usual
By working together, members move beyond linear value chains toward regenerative, transparent systems where value is shared across the value circle.
3. Be Part of a Community
Composed exclusively of Certified B Corporations, companies that share high standards of transparency, accountability and the ambition to lead through collaboration.

Membership
Becoming a member gives you direct access to peer companies across the coffee value circle who are working on shared priorities.
Members participate in small, topic driven working groups, exchange practical experience with peers, and gain early insights into approaches, tools, and frameworks developed within the coalition. Regular coalition meetings create space for alignment, learning, and connection across companies and roles.
How we work
To ensure meaningful exchange and effective progress, each group includes between five and ten members. Participants are expected to actively contribute their expertise and dedicate the time needed to move the work forward. Working groups meet online at least once per month, with additional meetings scheduled when necessary. In addition, all members come together for occasional coalition-wide assemblies, typically once or twice a year, to share progress, exchange insights, and shape the collective direction of the coalition.
Fees
The purpose of the annual membership fee is to ensure sufficient funding to enable the effective execution of the Coalition’s plans from the outset. This includes resourcing a central coordinator, covering potential third-party costs, developing practical tools or research materials for member benefit, and supporting basic operational needs such as web tools and domains.
The fees for the B Corp Coffee Coalition are based on the company’s annual turnover and run per membership year from 1 June to 31 May.
For new members joining after 1 June, the initial fee will be calculated pro rata based on the number of remaining days in the year.
To support the Coalition’s launch phase, the membership fee for 2026 will be set at 50% of the standard annual amount.
The annual fee is invoiced by B Lab Switzerland, acting as the Coalition’s banker, in coordination with an appointed member of the Supervisory Board.
