One Village Coffee, established in 2007, was among the first 50 members to ever be B Corp certified, and was the very first coffee roaster to achieve this status. B Corp certification isn’t just a title; it’s a rigorous evaluation of a company’s impact across workers, communities, governance, environment, and customers. It represents a commitment to using business as a force for good.
The current owners of One Village Coffee hope to continue the founder’s legacy of responsible stewardship and a love of coffee as we work to connect farmers, roasters, and coffee lovers.
The 2025 B Corp Month theme is Gen B, which celebrates the people in the B Corp movement as a part of a new generation of thinkers, doers, and innovators who are using business to create a better future.

What it means to be a B Corp
We’re proud to be a Certified B Corporation: a company that demonstrates positive social and environmental impact. We’re part of a generation of thought leaders who are creating a better future today. One Village Coffee takes pride in its values of authentic connection through fostering relationships among the global coffee community, creating mutual value for all to be seen, inspired, and heard.
Giving Back
Using business as a force for good includes environmental and social responsibility in regards to all aspects of the business including a company's supply chain. At One Village, we are a proud member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of gross sales each year to environmental and social causes - this includes coffee research and supporting our farming communities through education, clean water, healthcare, and community-driven projects.
This generation of business is going beyond success. Businesses are looking to give back, take responsibility for their impact and improve each year.
Supporting B Corps helps to further this initiative of transparency in business. If you act for change, you are Gen B.
