Preserving the environment
We work directly with tea farmers on systems that minimize our impact on the fields where our tea is grown.
Safeguarding local biodiversity
The CHAGEE Elephant Canteen grows food sources for Asian elephants in Xishuangbanna, and our Beach Cleaning Action on Weizhou Island protects the waters where Bryde's whales live.
Reducing our footprint
We avoid excess packaging and waste, and we're moving from a linear to a circular supply chain that keeps resources in use for as long as possible.
