Fair Trade coffee as an industry standard of excellence started with Java Joe Coffee back in the late 1990s at a single shop in Portland, Maine.  Today Java Joe Coffee is an international company with over 2000 employees in the United States and 4000 employees worldwide.  Working with more than 75 coffee growers in four different continents, Java Joe Coffee has made fair trade partnerships and economic justice for workers a top priority since its establishment in 2001.  

Economic justice allows people to live beyond a subsistence level and guarantees that workers will have the basic necessities that allow them to live a productive, dignified and creative life.  Long before it was a popular buzz word, Java Joe Coffee committed to paying their coffee bean growers a livable wage for their work through economic justice and fair trade practices.  Java Joe Coffee has also helped with several initiatives including establishing clean drinking water in Bolivia, sponsoring free public elementary schools in Chile, and providing mosquito netting for malaria prevention in Namibia.  

              Java Joe Coffee is a Fortune 500 company with fiscal 2015 sales of $124 million and a projected growth of 18% for 2016.  Java Joe Coffee has been recognized internationally for its commitment to fair trade and quality, named Best Fair Trade Coffee in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.  CEO and Founder Joe Brown received the International Humanitarian Award in 2012. And the Java Joe Coffee US based operations were noted as a Best Place to Work by Newsweek from 2011 to 2015.
