SPROGO Cares

At SPROGO, we believe that better coffee starts with better choices — for people, for the planet, and for the daily rituals that connect them.

SPROGO Cares is our ongoing commitment to create products that respect both craftsmanship and sustainability.

Our Promise

  • Carbon-Neutral Production — Every SPROGO is made and shipped with 100% carbon offsets.
  • Sustainable Materials — We use durable double-wall borosilicate glass and food-grade silicone that are built to last and fully recyclable.
  • Minimal Impact Packaging — Our packaging is free from all unnecessary plastic.
  • Made to Last — Designed for daily use, SPROGO replaces hundreds of single-use cups — helping coffee lovers reduce waste without compromising style.
  • Community Support — A portion of proceeds goes toward environmental programs and coffee-growing communities that share our mission for a sustainable future.

Because every sip should taste good — and feel good too.

The Three Pillars of SPROGO Cares

SPROGO Cares is built on three guiding principles that shape how we design, produce, and give back. These pillars reflect our belief that great coffee design can also create lasting, positive impact.

1. Design with Purpose

We design with intention — creating durable, reusable products that enhance your coffee ritual while reducing waste. Every SPROGO cup combines thoughtful engineering with sustainability built into every detail.

2. Operate Responsibly

From carbon-neutral production to minimal packaging, we’re committed to operating responsibly. Every decision we make aims to lower our footprint and protect the planet we all share.

3. Give Back Meaningfully

A portion of every purchase supports environmental programs and coffee-growing communities that promote sustainable farming and reforestation — ensuring coffee’s future is as bright as its flavor.

The Environment:

The Rainforest Alliance is an international non-profit organization working at the intersection of business, agriculture, and forests to make responsible business the new normal. We are building an alliance to protect forests, improve the livelihoods of farmers and forest communities, promote their human rights, and help them mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis.

We envision a world where people and nature thrive in harmony.

The Rainforest Alliance is creating a more sustainable world by using social and market forces to protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities.

We are an alliance of farmers, forest communities, companies, and consumers committed to creating a world where people and nature thrive in harmony. By bringing diverse allies together, we are making deep-rooted change on some of the most pressing social and environmental issues of our time. We’re implementing proven and scalable solutions on the ground while testing innovative ways to drive change.

The Growers & Roasters:

Coffee Kids partners with communities to foster the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit needed to protect the future of coffee farming. Founded in 1988, Coffee Kids was the first nonprofit within the budding specialty coffee industry dedicated solely to improving coffee farmers’ quality of life. Since Coffee Kids’ inception, they have partnered with over 200,000 coffee-farming families in over 400 communities, and a generous base of supporters from both within and outside of the coffee industry to empower farmers to improve their lives and livelihoods. Coffee Kids started operating as a program of Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung North America in 2015.



Coffee Kids collaborates with the next generation of coffee farmers to realize their full potential as part of the global coffee community.

The vision is:

  • A world in which coffee farmers thrive.
  • A world in which coffee-farming communities are self-sustaining and families have a life of dignity.
  • A global coffee community in which everyone has an equal seat at the table.

Coffee Kids provides training, mentoring, and financial support to young coffee farmers so that they can implement creative solutions to the challenges they face in the changing coffee industry.  Coffee Kids works in collaboration with all sectors of the coffee supply chain to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of young farmers in overcoming these challenges.

 

The Industry:

The M&E Program is a job and life skills program that seeks to equip youth who’ve aged out of foster care with the tools necessary to make the transition to self-sufficient adulthood. Youth engaged in the M&E program are surrounded by a community of supportive adults that they can rely on both during and after their time in the program. Participants are employed at the M&E cafe while participating in the program.

The Monkey & The Elephant is Philadelphia’s first and only non-profit coffee shop employing former foster youth. By choosing to purchase coffee and baked goods from our shop you are also supporting the former foster youth in our program. Youth that go through the foster care system are at greater risk of experiencing incarceration, homelessness and reliance on public assistance or welfare.
