Shane Reilly is the Managing Director of Moyee Coffee here in Ireland. With partners in the Netherlands, the bulk of Moyee’s operations take place at origin in coffee-producing countries. This is because Moyee Coffee was not founded to sell coffee, but with the aim of radically changing the coffee chain. This is why our goal is an equal distribution of value in the chain between coffee producing and coffee consuming countries. We call this big impact model FairChain. A business model that doesn't cause clutter but cleans up.
Our FairChain model is based on three pillars: economic, social and environmental impact. Or better put that is Factories, Farmers and Forests. Moyee invests in local roasters to give young people in Addis Ababa and Nairobi a proud and self-reliant future with valuable jobs not reliant on development aid. Moyee focuses on a living income for farmers along with a unique insetting, forest conservation and reforestation programme.
