At the plantation - Everything starts with the coffee farmer
The first objective is to purchase environment-friendly coffee beans, which is done by collaborating with coffee supplier Efico. It works on our behalf to acquired beans of the very highest quality (100% Arabica). This is achieved by only dealing with plantations that respect the 10 Global Compact Principles championed by the United Nations: these 10 principles are synonymous with fair trading practices.
We make an active contribution by training farmers about farming methods and good business practices. In addition, each cup of Peeze coffee helps to support a project in Ethiopia, where we assist a large cooperative in a variety of long-term sub-projects.
Good to know: We only have 100% Certified Coffee: all our coffee plantations have been awarded a certificate of sustainability, which means they either feature the Rainforest Alliance label, the Max Havelaar label or the BIO label.

Our procurement activities - Carefully selected partners
We have made a conscious decision to be a front-runner in terms of sustainable procurement. For example, we always opt for long-term relationships and fair prices. We try to reduce the use of gas, water, paper and energy wherever possible.We use 100% Windenergy
Certificate 100% Windenergy 2017 And we only collaborate with companies that share our philosophy towards sustainability.
A good example of this is our partnership with coffee supplier Efico. Its warehouse in Zeebrugge features a complete climate control system and, partly due to 4,600 solar panels, storage is CO2-neutral.

The refinery - 100% climate-neutral production
Our beans are roasted in one of the most environment-friendly refineries in the world. Thanks to several sustainable decisions – ranging from re-using residual heat to our aluminium-free packaging – we have been able to make our production activities
100% Climate Neutral
. We have adopted a very special way of removing chaff from roasted coffee beans, whereby 99% less water is now being used due to intelligent cyclone technology!
In order to maximise flavour, we only work with fresh beans. We roast each type separately (single origin) and only blend them afterwards. This approach helps to do justice to each type of bean. An authentic approach is also adopted when refining our espresso (doppio testate).
Naturally, the coffee has to remain nice and fresh once it has been carefully processed. That is why we immediately place it in special packaging once the roasting and blending process has been completed. And that is something you can taste!

Your coffee – Mindful enjoyment
We offer a total concept for homes, hospitality settings and workplaces. This means that, besides coffee and tea, we also offer equipment by the world's best brands and possess a wide range of complimentary products. This attention to detail is also a sign of quality!
In addition, we also like to pass on our knowledge and expertise by, for example, offering good advice, providing barista training to our baristas and, of course, by organising the Peeze Experience, which is a fantastic way to showcase our profession and our Arnhem-based company. Furthermore, we also release our magazine, Bewust Genieten (Mindful Enjoyment) twice a year.
As a result, quality and sustainability are a benchmark in everything we do - from bean to cup.
