At Café William, sustainability is our daily grind. We are determined to take full responsibility for our actions and pledge to reaffirm our commitment to improving our communities and the planet. We aim to provide Canadians with premium coffee while innovating at every stage of our supply chain to create a sustainable and innovative ecosystem within the industry.
It all started with a great idea, an idea that came to life.
An idea that was not only bold, but perhaps even a little crazy.
The big idea? A cargo sailboat that travels all the way from South America to bring our precious coffee beans to Quebec.
Our ambition? To create the world's most sustainable coffee.
Wind-powered shipping
Powered by the wind and sailing towards sustainability, our cargo sailboat has embarked on its journey from South America.

Completed in 2023, our new eco-friendly plant meets the highest standards in sustainable building and will run primarily on hydroelectricity, one of the cleanest forms of energy on the planet.
Build the FutureCleaner Packaging
Our packaging brings us one step further towards cyclic recycling, with 30% of its composition issued from recycled materials; because our coffee bags should be as planet-friendly as our coffee.
“We believe in the power of new ideas, caring for the planet and standing together."
