Choose Impact
You decide how you would like to make a Positive Impact. Would you like to offer customers the option of planting trees or to offset the carbon emissions of the coffee via other carbon reduction projects?
Our commitment to positive impact goes beyond our localised coffee communities. We are all obliged to act responsibly, to support coffee growing communities, their families, and the planet. That’s why we value our work with RWRD Positive Impact Partners. Helping restore healthy forests and supporting coffee-growing communities across the globe.
It’s no secret that trees are one of the best ways to fight climate change. They suck CO2 out of the atmosphere every single day, provide homes for wildlife, stop deserts from spreading and turn barren grounds back into fertile woods and farmland.
Eden Reforestation Projects is a 501c3 non-profit whose mission is to provide fair wage employment to impoverished villagers as agents of global forest restoration.
Read on for more detail about their work and why we plant trees with them.
To offset a cup of coffee we need to create between 0.8kg-1kg of CO2e, the emissions vary slightly between types of coffee. There are several projects that we support in order to generate these carbon credits.
Sidrap Wind Farm Project in Indonesia. Generating enough clean energy from wind to power over 70,000 local homes in Sulawesi, Indonesia. This wind farm reduces air pollution as wind energy releases no emissions, making it a clean source of power.
The project also provides local employment opportunities, creating over 35 new jobs for locals.

Decide on the frequency of your Positive Impact. Would you like to take action for every stamp collected, or would you prefer action on every redemption of a reward?
Ensuring that your customers know about the Positive Impact you are making is really important. RWRD provide marketing materials to showcase the impact that your customers can make with every purchase.

Partners already making a Positive Impact with RWRD
The partners that RWRD work with only fund carbon offset projects that meet the highest independent verification standards, including the Gold Standard and the Verified Carbon Standard.
In order to be certified by one of these standards, the projects have to show evidence of their ongoing impact, which is monitored closely.
