ENJOYING COFFEE SUSTAINABLY
For Nespresso, sustainability and the enjoyment of coffee are inextricably linked. This is why Nespresso is committed to continuously making coffee production more resource-friendly, as part of a holistic sustainability programme. Starting in 2003 with its specifically created Nespresso AAA Sustainable QualityTM Program, Nespresso has worked toward making coffee production as sustainable as possible – from reducing its impact on the environment to improving the livelihood of coffee farmers.
However, Nespresso is not satisfied with this and has committed itself to achieving Net Zero, i.e. reducing the climate impact based on clear, scientific goals and without compensation outside its own value chain.

Emissions saved
Doing is everything.
** The indicated consumption of values do not correspond to real electricity quantities. They show exemplarily the substitution effects, which result from the savings of CO2‑emissions. The savings are a positive effect of the recycling and conversion of coffee ground resulting into biogas.
COFFEE PREPARATION
Each Nespresso capsule contains exactly the amount of coffee needed for one cup. When prepared with other systems, such as filter machines, consumers often use more ground coffee than is needed for a cup, or they make more coffee than they drink. The amount of coffee consumed is relevant because the greatest environmental impact of a cup of coffee – regardless of how it is prepared – occurs during the green coffee supply stage, from cultivating the green beans to transporting the coffee to the production centres.
In modern Nespresso machines, the consumption of energy (through automatic shut-off) and water is also optimised. The portioned system thus helps reduce the environmental impact of a cup of coffee.

That’s because the main drivers aren’t always where you expect them. Most of the carbon emitted by a cup of Nespresso coffee is generated during the preparation of the green coffee.

COFFEE CULTIVATION AND PRODUCTION
As early as 2003, in cooperation with the NGO The Rainforest Alliance, Nespresso launched the Nespresso AAA Sustainable QualityTM Program. As part of this programme, Nespresso works with over 120,000 coffee farmers in 15 countries to improve local farming practices and farmer livelihoods.
For this purpose, Nespresso builds direct, long-term relationships with the farmers, supports them in introducing and implementing practices for sustainable coffee cultivation and purchases coffee from the same farmers year after year – at a price that is 30 to 40% above the market price on average.
To strengthen coffee farmers and their communities, Nespresso invests extensively in local infrastructures, for example in facilities that make coffee processin more efficient, enable a higher quality of coffee and thereby ensure a higher income for the local population. To safeguard the future of farmers, Nespresso is working with partners to develop and finance retirement savings plans for them.
