Capital Factory was measured against the “highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.” According to the nonprofit, B Labs, we met those standards and were thus invited to join the movement. Think of it as a Fair Trade certification for the business as a whole, and not just for the coffee. We’re overjoyed about this and encourage others to join us in leading the movement to use our businesses as a force for good™.
