Ashford business named in UK’s Green Growth 100
Posted on 23 March 2026Kent Coffee roaster Mont58 Coffee has been selected as part of the Green Growth 100, an initiative launched by Small Business Britain in partnership with BT to spotlight small businesses successfully using sustainability as a core driver of growth.
The Green Growth 100 champions one hundred small businesses across the UK that are embedding sustainable practices into their operations - from cutting waste and energy use to rethinking supply chains, attracting new customers, and strengthening long-term resilience.
Founded in 2018, Mont58 Coffee has been led by Maya Haiman-Eilon and Shai eilon who have placed sustainability at the core of the business. Through practices implementing recyclable and compostable packaging, a returnable cup scheme, bike deliveries, waste-reduction across roasting and retail operations, and a strong commitment to supporting the local economy through local suppliers and partnerships - the business has shown how responsible practices can deliver both environmental impact and commercial success.
Being recognised in the Green Growth 100 reinforces our belief that sustainability and commercial growth are not competing priorities. From recyclable and compostable packaging to returnable cups, bike deliveries and waste reduction across our operations, we’ve built Mont58 around responsible practices that strengthen both our environmental impact and our long-term resilience. This recognition reflects the dedication of our team and community who continue to support a more sustainable way of doing business.

Sustainability is at the heart of Mont 58’s philosophy and is also really important in attracting customers. As well as ethically sourcing coffee and cyclist delivery, the organic sacks used to house the coffee are given to organisations who plant trees, and the chuff (the substance left after roasting) is given to gardeners for compost. Impressively, Mont 58 does not have any bins at their site as almost everything on the premises has a purpose.
