True North: 38%

Muskoka Roastery maintains a localized manufacturing footprint in Ontario, contributing to domestic industrial employment. However, its acquisition by an international conglomerate means that strategic control and capital flows are directed outside of Canada, resulting in a True North score of 30.

Green Score: 27/100

This product earns a high environmental score for its use of BPI-certified compostable pods and 100% Rainforest Alliance certified coffee. While the single-serve format is inherently more resource-intensive than bulk coffee, the packaging avoids traditional rigid plastics and uses a recyclable paperboard outer box. The 90g total packaging weight is offset by the brand's commitment to renewable energy and compostable material innovation.
