As owners, we hold ourselves accountable for driving results. Our behavior reflects our scrappiness, our passion for winning and our ability to do more with less.

COMMITMENT TO IMPACT

Based out of Emeryville, California, REBBL was founded to create an innovative business solution to help communities vulnerable to human trafficking. REBBL has donated over $2 million to Not For Sale, our co-founder and nonprofit partner, to help create a future without human trafficking and support the healing of those who have been trafficked. We are deeply committed to supporting human dignity through impact sourcing and supply chain integrity. Through initiatives with our grower communities, we strive to stop trafficking before it happens.

REBBL is not only a Certified B Corp, but in the top 10% of all B Corps. Our coffee and tea are Fair Trade certified. We are founding members of OSC2 (One Step Closer to an Organic Sustainable Community), Climate Collaborative and JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) Collaborative.
