What they do
Yumello produce a range of peanut and almond butters inspired by the Berber people of northern Africa. They are based in Bristol and have a significant environmental and social impact through actions like sourcing their Agran oil directly from a female-led partner coop in Morocco and refusing to use palm oil in any of their products.
What we did
BBRC provided a loan allowing the company to scale up its business and expand beyond the Bristol region, an example of our support for sustainable innovation and environmentally friendly produce.
“Impact investors align with our values and belief that it is possible to do good while doing well. In a growing business there is always room for improvement, which can make measuring success in these areas quite tricky. However, having an impact investor on board holds us accountable to using business as a force for good.”
