ESG
Good coffee, done right.
Boon has roasted coffee in the UAE since 2012. How we treat the land it grows on, the people who grow, roast and serve it, and the neighbourhoods around our cafés is part of how the business runs, not a programme added on top. These pages set out our commitments in three areas.
- 2012
- Roasting in the UAE since
- Women-led
- From the founder onwards
- Ethiopia
- At the heart of our coffee
- 12
- Cafés across the Emirates
Three commitments
Planet, people, community.
01 · EnvironmentalOur Planet
A light footprint from farm to cup.
Coffee bought carefully and paid for fairly, roasted to order so that little is wasted, and served in cafés that keep waste down.
Read Our Planet
02 · SocialOur People
A team that looks like the city it serves.
A women-led company with a team drawn from across the world, and the training and support that turn a job in coffee into a career.
Read Our People
03 · SocialOur Community
From the farm to the neighbourhood.
Fair payment and education in the communities that grow our coffee, a cycling group that ends every ride at a Boon counter, and cafés that serve as neighbourhood rooms.
Read Our Community
“As an Ethiopian, giving back is something I take very seriously. It’s an obligation, not a choice. It started long before Boon, and it has been at the core of everything I’ve ever built.”
Orit Mohammed, Founder
We write it down
Our commitments are set out in plain words on these pages, so they can be read, questioned and held against what we do.
We say what we do
These pages describe how we work today. Where something is an intention rather than a practice, we say so.
Leadership owns it
Responsibility for ESG sits with the founder and the senior team, not with a separate department.
