Project Overview
Blue Bear Coffee Co. is the trading name of The Justice Business CIC, a social enterprise founded with the singular objective of fighting slavery, through coffee. They are an anti-slavery organisation that supplies ethically sourced coffee to individuals and businesses as a means of generating sustainable funding to effective programs around the world protecting, equipping and empowering survivors of modern slavery.
