Part of its drive to work solely with producers and suppliers who share its business ethos for being ethical and responsible, the OBriens Sandwich Bars franchise has turned its sights on its gourmet coffee offer. While the blend and taste remain unchanged, OBriens is now committed to sourcing an ever-increasing percentage of coffee beans direct from the grower, mainly in developing countries. Never before has there been a greater need to look closely at how we all source our food and drink, whether it is home grown or produce from another part of the world, said OBriens CEO Fiacra Nagle.

Our exclusive coffee blend is no different with fair, ethical and honest procedures at the very heart of our offer. Sourcing beans direct from the grower means that we can help make a real and sustainable difference to economic growth in the countries of origin, where people are eager to embrace improved trade opportunities and create better livelihoods for themselves.

By doing our bit, we can help eradicate poverty and impact positively upon thousands of people and thousands of lives. Surely there is no better way.
