Bear Lake Coffee Co. has pledged to reach Net Zero by 2030, aiming to drastically reduce emissions or offset what remains through high-quality projects. This commitment will require us to publicly outline our steps towards this goal, act consistently, and report our progress annually. We're actively reducing our carbon footprint by adopting renewable energy, improving our roasting efficiency, and supporting our patrons with electric vehicle initiatives. For example, our net-metered solar array will collect 18,000 kWh of power; this is equivalent to the carbon sequestered by ~15 acres of forest in one year. In 2022, there were 38,000 coffeehouses in the United States. Imagine if they all used the same configuration of renewable solar; that would be equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 570,000 acres of forest in one year or would provide over 15% of the power needed in the United States!

Bear Lake Coffee Co.'s "Design to Give" business impact model commits 2% of our revenues to non-profits in both the coffee-growing regions and the local communities where we operate. This approach ensures every purchase not only supports sustainable and prosperous practices in our coffee sources but also contributes to the well-being of our local areas. By integrating our business operations with this model, we leverage our activities as a catalyst for positive change. Join us in creating a significant impact with every cup, fostering growth and development in communities around the world and close to home.
