To mark the 50th anniversary of Thermoplan AG and the new unique building, we launched the uniqueBean social project. As a family business, it is important to us to give something back to society and help those who do not have the same opportunities as we do.
No donation is too small or too large, but every donation has an impact and brings long-term positive changes to the lives of Ethiopian coffee farmers - and you can be part of it.

In April, we spent three days in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. Our programme ranged from visits to official coffee organizations to the award ceremony of Caritas' Cup of Harvest and participation in barista training at the Skill Academy. These were intensive and extremely enriching days that gave us a deep insight into the diverse projects.
Almost a year after our first journey, we returned to Ethiopia to visit the affected communities and witness the first signs of progress.
Great news! The Ethiopian government has officially approved the project. In the meantime, the on-site project team has been completed. Now, practical work can gradually begin.
A part of the project team, together with Caritas Switzerland, spent a week in Ethiopia. They visited the project regions and met with local people to gain insight into daily challenges and discuss initial solution approaches.
At the gala evening celebrating Thermoplan’s 50th anniversary, the uniqueBean project team presented their initiative to all Thermoplan employees for the first time.
In a workshop at Caritas Switzerland’s headquarters, various ideas were collaboratively developed that would be suitable for the individual sub-projects of uniqueBean.
