We are supporting the Marine Conservation Society in its efforts to restore, revitalise and regenerate seascapes along the UK’s Atlantic Coast.
Now part of B Corp
Our family business puts sustainability at the heart of everything we do, caring about our staff, our impact on the environment, and our supply chain.
Investing back into coffee roasting communities
We’ve been supporting producer groups and paying well above the Fairtrade base price since Day One.
World-class, energy efficient
coffee roasting
Our roaster makes use of recycled heat
and catalytic carbon capture.
Coastlines in crisis
Roast & Ground is proud to support the Marine Conservation Society in their efforts to protect unsung ocean heroes, such as kelp, native oysters, seagrass and blue mussels, through their Atlantic Coast programme.
With our support, these hero species will once again play a valuable role in removing CO2 from the atmosphere, reducing coastal erosion, and providing a haven for wildlife. Fisheries will benefit too.

Roast & Ground customers are helping us raise thousands for charity. Can you help us meet the next target?
Fuel Their Day is a deliciously smooth, chocolatey coffee created specially to support Only A Pavement Away, which helps people facing homelessness find employment in the hospitality trade.
With every pack sold, our customers donate 25p to the charity and we at Roast & Ground then match the donations, so that’s 50p per pack to Only A Pavement Away.
Compostable
Our online shop features compostable, biodegradable and disposable options.
Recyclable
Roast & Ground coffees come in recyclable packs and our boxes are fully recyclable too.
Renewable
Our HQ runs on 100% renewable electricity and thermostatic, timed heating controls.
