About Us

In 1997, during a time when transparency was a foreign concept in the specialty coffee industry, Sustainable Harvest® Coffee Importers was established by David Griswold. At that time, farmers and buyers engaged in an opaque supply chain that created challenges for both parties. Farmers were unaware of their final buyers' expectations, while the buyers struggled to maintain a consistent supply of coffee. By leveraging the power of transparent relationships, Sustainable Harvest® helped change how farmers and buyers interact. While opacity still exists in some parts of the industry, many stakeholders have discovered the importance of building relationships in their supply chain to strengthen their supply, foster greater sustainability, and offer a consumer brand-building opportunity.

Committed to Business as a Force for Good

Since our founding, Sustainable Harvest® has focused on building an inclusive economy that strengthens coffee farmers, roasters, and all other stakeholders through mutually beneficial business. In 2008 we joined a like-minded community of businesses when we became a Certified B Corporation. Sustainable Harvest® is proud to find common ground with these other companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. We are frequently collaborating with other B Corps on projects that make the business world a better place.
