We're so excited to have recently received our Social Traders certification.
Whilst it doesn't change the impact we've been creating, in Timor-Leste and Australia, for close to a decade now, it's great to have our work recognised by an external verification body.
As a certified Social Trader, our customers can rest assured that we're contributing to the positive impact we say we are. Not sure what we mean by this? Here's some of the facts that helped us receive our certification:
- Since beginning to import coffee from Timor-Leste (formerly WithOneBean), Corner Store Network has directly invested over AUD 1 million into coffee communities, through fair wages and direct payments.
- Last year alone we transformed 6,500 KG of wasted produce into delicious preserves
- & we donated over 2,500 KG of food relief to food banks across Victoria!
All the impact we create at Corner Store Network is made possible by the support of our customers and community. Purchasing coffees and preserves through us directly influences the impact we can create at home and in Timor.
We're excited to continue this work and connect with more Australian businesses through the Social Traders community.
