Joining Pendo and Relias, Hitachi Energy has partnered with 321 Coffee, opening its latest private in-office cafe inside its newly expanded North American headquarters on NC State’s Centennial Campus.

Since launching in 2017, 321 Coffee has built a business around meaningful employment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. With multiple locations and products sold at retailers like Costco, the company is proving that purpose and growth can go hand in hand.

“At Hitachi Energy, we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and has the opportunity to thrive,” said Crystal Wilkerson, Regional Finance Director for Americas at Hitachi Energy. The partnership is creating new jobs for individuals with IDD while opening leadership opportunities for the 321 Coffee team.

For businesses interested in 321 Coffee, they offer a business program designed to support collaboration, boost team culture, and create more opportunities for employees of all abilities.

Together, 321 Coffee and Hitachi Energy are proving that inclusion can be part of the everyday workplace experience.
