Cork coffee firm scoops multiple  European awards

Macroom coffee company Fzin Coffee has been awarded multiple European honours at The Women Changing the World Awards. The awards recognise leadership, sustainability, and social impact.

Fzin Coffee received silver in the business-of-the-year category, for its work in reducing single-use plastic and aluminium waste by replacing traditional coffee pods and packaging with compostable, lower-impact alternatives.

Co-founder and managing partner of Fzin Coffee, Sofia Kalfa, won gold in the rising-star category, bronze in the change-maker category, and an honourable mention in the leader-of- the-year category.

Ms Kalfa said she is proud that work done in Macroom is being recognised beyond Ireland.

“What matters most to me about this recognition is that it places an Irish business on a European stage. We’re not only representing our company at these awards, we are representing Cork and Ireland. 

"I will be travelling to Paris in April to attend the awards ceremony and bring these recognitions back to Ireland.”
