At Strauss, we are deeply committed to creating a positive and meaningful impact on communities, guided by a clear business purpose. We strive to consider the needs of all our stakeholders and make every effort to meet them. We believe that strong communities are the foundation for a successful business. Therefore, we maintain close ties with our local communities through both business and social initiatives. We place special emphasis on activities related to coffee, aiming to create products that not only bring satisfaction but also benefit our communities.
We organized a project for Ukrainians who were affected by the war and forced to leave their homes, temporarily settling in modular towns near Kyiv.
Bucha
In the city of Bucha, we organized a coffee and beverage tasting event for internally displaced persons, creating a cozy atmosphere where everyone could enjoy a variety of flavors and aromas. We also held a coffee-making master class, where participants received valuable tips and learned secrets from our professional barista. It was not just an informative experience but also a wonderful opportunity to bring joy to people.
Additionally, we provided essential equipment and devices for coffee preparation, so that the displaced individuals could enjoy a quality beverage anytime on their own. Along with this, we supplied them with coffee and other necessary products to ensure they had everything needed to make a delicious and aromatic drink.
This initiative is aimed at supporting and improving the living conditions of people who were forced to leave their homes due to difficult circumstances. We hope that our assistance will make their days a little brighter and warmer.
Borodyanka
In the city of Borodyanka, we organized an event during which we held a coffee and beverage tasting for internally displaced persons. It was a great opportunity to support the local community and help those who had been forced to leave their homes due to the war.
During the event, there was a coffee-making workshop where our barista shared their expertise and recipes. Participants not only tasted coffee drinks but also learned how to properly prepare coffee at home using special devices, which we also provided to the local residents.
In addition, coffee-making products were given to the people of Borodyanka, which will be a pleasant addition to their daily lives. This initiative became a symbol of unity and support during a difficult time for the country, helping to restore the community spirit and offering warm moments of connection over a cup of coffee.
Irpin
In the city of Irpin, a special event took place that brought joy and warmth to the hearts of children and internally displaced persons. A tasting of various beverages was organized for the little ones, who enjoyed sampling sweet and healthy drinks made just for them. The event also included a coffee-making workshop that generated great interest among the attendees. A professional barista demonstrated how to properly prepare different types of coffee, revealed the secrets to making the perfect drink, and explained the various techniques and equipment used in the process.
Additionally, we provided coffee-making devices so that participants could continue to enjoy high-quality beverages even after the event ended. For internally displaced persons, this was a particularly valuable gift, as coffee not only warms but also brings people together, creating a sense of comfort and support during these challenging times.
We continue to support Ukrainians during the war in modular settlements in the suburbs of Kyiv:

Additionally, we provided the opportunity to print photos from the coffee plantation, allowing local residents to keep warm memories of this wonderful day. For the little ones, we collected a library of children’s books so they could dive into the world of literature and discover new exciting stories.

Children’s Day in Irpin
Irpin
In Ukraine’s largest modular town for internally displaced persons, Irpin, this year’s Children’s Day was celebrated in a special way. The event, which took place on June 1st, was a vivid testament to the care for the youngest and the unity of the community.
The event began with a tasting of aromatic drinks that brought together children and adults. Young guests eagerly participated in origami workshops, showcasing their creative abilities. The cheerful entertainment program provided everyone with a sea of positive emotions.
But that was just the beginning of the celebration. We made a gift to the town by opening a new sports ground. This place will become a hub for active recreation, where children can play, engage in sports, and spend time outdoors.
Through this event, we aimed to support children who find themselves in difficult situations due to the war. After all, they are our future.
