Change Please CIC

Change Please CIC's primary mission—employment training and meals for homeless and vulnerable people—is deeply aligned with social impact, but food-product sourcing transparency remains opaque. We could not find evidence of named suppliers, origin disclosure, ingredient lists, or third-party certifications (Fair Trade, Organic, Direct Trade) for their café food offerings. Packaging details are sparse; no information on recyclable/compostable materials or supply-chain freshness discipline. Processing methods and maker pedigree are undisclosed—it's unclear whether food is prepared in-house or outsourced. The B Corp certification is genuine and valuable, but lacks complementary food-integrity certifications (Fair Trade, Organic) that would meaningfully differentiate their sourcing ethics in the food space. The brand's heritage is young (social enterprise model, not multi-generational) and mission-driven rather than craft-driven, which is appropriate to their theory of change but limits Pillar 4 cultural-heritage scoring. Opportunity: publish named-supplier relationships, ingredient sourcing standards, and processing transparency to signal food quality parity with social impact.
