Our Mission
We work directly with some of the world’s best coffee growers – artisans whose skill and dedication produce beans of rare quality.
By forming long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with partner growers, we can pay them the premium they deserve. This supports them so they can thrive, brings Pact customers outstanding coffee, and delivers a lasting, positive impact on growing communities.

Direct trade
By going straight to the farm, we can skip the middlemen of the traditional coffee industry and form a mutually beneficial partnership with the grower. It allows us to see the whole picture, from how coffee is grown and processed to how it’s delivered to our roastery. It also guarantees that the person behind the coffee is paid a truly fair price.
It gives growers more control and a clearer route to market. It gives us better coffee, and it gives the drinker the truest taste of the coffee, its origin, and its grower’s skill.
Because we buy exceptional coffee – not anonymous volume – growers can focus on quality rather than compromise. That focus shows up both in the cup and on the ground, through better infrastructure, stronger cooperatives, and long-term partnerships that allow growers to thrive.

Gender equity
Women make up an estimated 70% of the global coffee workforce, yet own or run just 20% of coffee farms. Even when women do run a farm, they typically have significantly less access to land, finance, and agronomic training than their male counterparts.
At Pact, we’ve seen the upside of addressing this imbalance first-hand. Backing more of the world’s most talented women growers pushes quality further and broadens the range of exceptional roasts that we can offer Pact customers.
Since 2024, we’ve committed to sourcing a minimum of 50% of our coffee from women producers or gender-equity groups. In 2025, we surpassed this, reaching 60%. This work sits under one banner at Pact: Equal Ground Project.

Coffee for social change
Some of our finest coffees are grown in places impacted by conflict.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, we work with growers producing extraordinary coffees under extremely difficult conditions. Direct trade here helps alleviate poverty, supports local infrastructure, and gives many growers access to the international market for the very first time.
In Colombia’s border regions, low prices and the presence of drug cartels have pushed many growers away from coffee altogether. By paying growers fairly for their work, we help protect both livelihoods and land, proving coffee can offer a sustainable future.
This also shows the next generation of coffee growers, who often leave rural life in favour of the city, that there’s a profitable career in coffee.
