Ozone Coffee Recertifies as B Corp with Improved 83.4 Score

Ozone Coffee Roasters International achieved B Corp re-certification with an improved B Impact Assessment score of 83.4, clearing the 80-point threshold required for certification and placing the company well above the global average. The result confirms measurable progress on environmental and social practices that matter to roasters, café teams, suppliers, and customers.

Ozone Coffee Roasters International, which includes Ozone Coffee Roasters UK and NZ, Hasbean and West Coast Cocoa, said targeted operational changes drove the higher score. Investments in recyclable and compostable packaging, a sustained reduction in food waste to under 3% in its eateries, and the use of bike couriers for local deliveries were listed as key improvements. Ozone’s status as a Living Wage employer was also highlighted as a major contributor to the outcome.

The B Impact Assessment evaluates governance, workers, community, environment and customers. Ozone’s public materials emphasize transparency and ongoing improvement across all five pillars as central to its B Corp strategy. The company reported that it will continue working with partners on a carbon footprint audit and on setting science-based targets to further reduce emissions and lift sustainability performance.

For coffee professionals and regulars, the certification has practical effects. In cafés and retail outlets, expect clearer packaging choices that can be recycled or composted, and front-of-house operations shaped to minimize food waste. Baristas and café staff benefit from Living Wage policies, which can influence hiring, retention and service consistency. Local customers may see more bike deliveries for short runs, reducing vehicle traffic and local emissions.

Suppliers and roasters can use Ozone’s re-certification as a data point in commercial conversations. The B Impact Assessment score provides a benchmark that goes beyond marketing claims, showing where Ozone has improved and where it plans further action. The company’s commitment to a carbon audit and science-based emissions targets signals an intention to move from policy to quantifiable reductions.

The recertification was completed on January 23, 2026. Ozone Coffee Roasters International framed the result as both a milestone and a baseline for continued work. Look for ongoing reporting from Ozone on its footprint audit and target-setting process, and expect incremental changes in packaging, waste handling and delivery options in the months ahead. For customers who prioritize ethical sourcing and lower-impact coffee, Ozone’s improved score gives a concrete reason to choose its cafés and products while the company pursues deeper emissions cuts.
