Thanksgiving Coffee Co.
Thanksgiving Coffee Co. has combined love of great coffee with social, economic and environmental justice since 1972. A pioneer in the specialty coffee industry since its earliest days, TCC has won awards -- including Roast Magazine’s 2017 Roaster of the Year -- for its leadership in producing high quality coffees and for promoting sustainability, economic justice and peace. B Corp Certification was a natural fit, and a great way to receive recognition for Thanksgiving Coffee’s deeply held values and ethics.
The Project
Thanksgiving Coffee Co. hired HPC to attain B Corp Certification and earn recognition for its best practices and world-changing business model.
Results
- Formalized existing best practices into policy to earn credit within the B Impact Assessment framework
- B Corp Certification earned in 2015
- TCC won B Lab’s Best for the World/Community awards in 2016 and 2017
““I was part of a team that had the opportunity to work with Heather on B Corp certification. She was extremely well organized and professional in presenting her proposal, personable, accommodating, and enthusiastic in meetings, and represented us well in discussions with B Lab. The project was completed on time and on budget. Working with Heather was a pleasure.””
