Ethical Bean Coffee

Ethical Bean Coffee is a leading roaster of 100% Fairtrade Certified Organic coffee. Co-founders Lloyd Bernhardt and Kim Schachte, both committed to social responsibility and environmental accountability, started the company after a journey to Guatemala in 1999 to adopt their daughter. The trip forever changed their lives, sparking a passion for the country and inspiring a desire to better the lives of the farmers and families living and working in the coffee industry. The couple returned to Vancouver and in 2003 launched Ethical Bean Coffee. What began as a small operation with one employee has grown into an international success.
