Meira coffees - sustainability in every cup

Finland is a nation of coffee drinkers. The annual coffee consumption of every Finn is about 10 kilos, most in the world. Making coffee suitable for the Finnish coffee taste requires tremendous skill that has developed with decades of experience. Sustainability at every stage of coffee production is an essential part of this skill.

Tasty sustainability with Meira seasoning products

All our spices are developed, manufactured and packaged in Finland, with the exception of gelatin leaves.
A wide range of products as well as the taste, freshness, quality, purity and low salinity of the products have made Meira the market leader in dry spices in Finland. We want to offer consumers great flavors, joy and inspiration to the dining table, but we also want to take care of the well-being of people and the environment.

Sustainability actions at our Vallila plant

The unique Meira production plant - a roastery and a spice factory - is located in the heart of Helsinki, in Vallila. Sustainability is one of the cornerstones of the operations of our production plant and our entire company.

Climate actions

We have set science-based emission reduction targets in 2021 and they are also approved by the Science Based Target initiative. We commit to reduce our own emissions 80 % by 2028 (vs. 2019).



Renewable electricity

From 2020 we will use either renewable or at least CO2-free electricity, by 2030 we will only use electricity from renewable sources. Our waste management is carbon neutral and our recycling rate is 80%, which is clearly above the industry average.

More environmentally friendly packaging solutions

We are constantly developing more environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Our vision is that by 2030, all Meira packaging will be made from 100% recyclable, recycled or renewable material.

A safe and equal Meira is a priority for us

We actively develop our policies to ensure a safe work environment for all of our employees.
We invest in job satisfaction; along with comprehensive occupational health care and personnel cooperation, we will also take the next steps in 2023 towards an equal, inclusive and diverse Meira. As a continuation of the DEI* survey carried out in the spring, we specify the development measures especially to strengthen equality and inclusion as part of our Good workplace program.
*DEI: Diversity, Equality, Inclusion

Collaborating locally and globally

We do charity work both locally and internationally. In Vallila, we cooperate with schools and food aid projects. We support the well-being of children in developing countries, e.g. in a school project in Honduras and by donating money annually to Fondazione Zanetti Onlus.
