Redemption Roasters
London, UK
Founded in 2016 by Max Dubiel and Ted Rosner after the Ministry of Justice approached them to set up a roastery inside a prison. Redemption Roasters roasts its coffee at HMP The Mount and runs a barista training academy for people leaving prison, with graduates going on to work across the company's 11 London cafés and the wider hospitality industry — reducing reoffending through coffee. Employed participants have shown a 4% reoffending rate versus a 42% national average (Dec 2023 figures). B Corp certified, and a Points of Light award winner. Source: redemptionroasters.com
