True North: 100%

Balzac's Coffee Roasters maintains a strong domestic profile with a True North score indicating high economic retention. While the nature of the industry requires global sourcing of raw materials, the capital, strategic control, and value-added manufacturing are all located in Canada.

Green Score: 37/100

This product features high-quality environmental inputs, including Fairtrade and Organic certifications for its single-ingredient whole-food content. While the 340g bulk format avoids the waste of single-serve pods, the multi-material flexible plastic bag and degassing valve present significant recycling challenges. Overall, the product scores well on sourcing ethics but is limited by standard industry packaging complexity.
