A well thought initiative with three main objectives; creating a community, crafting honest menus, and supporting wellbeing, Unity Coffee is a premium barista coffee brand with a focus on ethical sourcing and social value with a charity donation at the heart. It is also aligned with the company’s sustainability goals by introducing a charitable donation 10% of coffee kilo price which will be invested back into the community. It is the perfect location for employees to gather for a morning ritual or to energise for their next meeting or journey home.

Our concepts, such as ‘Works’ brings the dining experience to manufacturing and production environments and ‘The Food Place’ that delivers to the office environment. Our effort is to reduce food waste, reuse kitchen waste to generate biogas energy, and move to 100% induction-based kitchens which significantly helps reduce carbon footprint, these are just a few examples of our dedication to promoting sustainability while improving employee health and well-being. We are looking at expanding our food services offerings and solutions to corporates looking to deliver the best food experience to their teams."
Shakti Jalali, chief commercial officer, ISS India, said, “We have been achieving significant progress in our food services vertical and we see tremendous scope in India for innovation and further expansion through new initiatives.
