Certified B Corporation®

Dark Horse Roastery / Horsebox Coffee Co is now a Certified B Corporation®

Why We Chose to Become a B Corp

Coffee is one of the world's most connected products. Every cup represents the work of farmers, producers, exporters, importers, roasters, baristas and customers. We believe every business within that chain has a responsibility to create value for everyone involved.

For years, we've focused on ethical sourcing, transparent relationships, supporting our team and reducing our environmental impact. B Corp gives us an internationally recognised framework to measure those commitments, challenge ourselves to improve and remain accountable as we grow.

Impact in Action

Supporting Coffee Producers

We carefully source sustainably cultivated speciality coffee from individual farms, cooperatives and trusted trading partners. Wherever possible, we build direct and long-term relationships that promote transparency, quality and shared success throughout the supply chain.

Investing in People

Our team is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating a supportive workplace where people can learn, develop and contribute meaningfully to our shared mission.

Strengthening Communities

Through our Horseboxes, wholesale partnerships, training programmes and coffee experiences, we help connect people through specialty coffee. We are proud to support local independent businesses, community organisations and the growth of coffee culture across Oxfordshire and beyond.

Reducing Our Environmental Impact

Sustainability has been a core focus since day one. We prioritise reuse, restoration and intelligent purchasing wherever possible. Our horseboxes, vehicles and roastery reflect a belief that existing resources often have the greatest value.

We continue to invest in efficient technology, reduce waste, compost by-products, recycle materials and seek practical ways to minimise our environmental footprint across the business.

Building a Better Future

As a Certified B Corporation, we join a global community of businesses committed to creating a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy.

We know there is always more work to do. Certification provides a framework that helps us keep learning, improving and making decisions that create long-term value for people and planet.

This Is Just the Beginning

B Corp Certification is not a one-time achievement.

It's an ongoing commitment to measuring our impact, improving our practices and holding ourselves accountable to higher standards.

We'll continue to learn, adapt and invest in the areas where we can create the greatest positive impact for people, communities and the planet. Because speciality coffee should leave a positive mark long after the last cup is finished.
