Coined Europe’s most high-profile Coffee and Hospitality event, the 3-day symposium connects and celebrates leaders and innovators from across the industry, culminating in an awards ceremony and gala dinner. As we celebrate our 20th year in the industry, we are honoured to win such a prestigious accolade for a second consecutive year. This achievement is a testament to the value we place on our meticulous sourcing, roasting and brewing practices, and our ongoing commitment to improving the future of speciality coffee for people and the planet. Thank you to our entire coffee community for supporting us in continuing this journey.

🌍 Big news: we’ve just closed an oversubscribed $10M Series A funding round, to accelerate our mission of embedding nature into business decision making. With this funding, we’ll be able to help more organisations future-proof against nature-related risks and capture nature-related business opportunities. Specifically, companies disclosing under #CSRD or adopting the #TNFD recommendations. Sebastian Leape, our CEO, said, “It has been truly exciting to see the level of investor interest in our company, particularly in a less-than-optimal fundraising environment globally.” Thanks to André Hoffmann, Norinchukin Capital, Yeo Ventures, Pelican Ag, former CEO of Refinitiv David Craig, Oxford Science Enterprises, funds advised by MW&L Capital Partners, and Alea Iacta Est, for your support. As CSRD comes online this year and biodiversity becomes a hot topic, we’re excited to see the impact we can make going forward. Here’s to a nature-positive future. #naturepositive #biodiversity #investments Norinchukin Bank
