We take responsibility. For people and nature.

As a Hanseatic family business, taking responsibility is a matter of course for us: Sustainability has been firmly anchored in our values since 2006 and characterises everything we do - from product design, production and transport to use and disposal. Our goal is not only to make a contribution to people and nature, but also to enable our customers to live a conscious everyday life through sustainable products and product ranges. We know that we have not yet reached our goal, but we are using our entrepreneurial strength to become more part of the solution - with real changes that have an impact.

We are the roasted coffee market leader in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary and are one of the leading e-commerce companies in Europe.
