Caring for the Climate
We’re using the power of coffee to regenerate land, restore healthy ecosystems, and build resilience against the impact of climate change. We’re committed to addressing climate change and reaching net zero by 2050 at the latest.
How Do We Plan to Achieve Our Ambitions?
We’re working through the entire lifecycle of each cup of coffee in order to reduce its carbon footprint and help us reach our goals. To achieve carbon neutrality, we’re committed to reforestation, recycling, and utilizing recycled materials, as well as moving towards fully renewable energy sources and working with our supply chain partners to reduce carbon emissions.
Eco design coffee system
Our system is designed to use a precise consumption of water, coffee, and energy for each cup of coffee.
Recycling program
We offer a free, dedicated recycling program and encourage our consumers to recycle their aluminum capsules so we can give them a second life.
Responsible transportation
Our green beans travel from their countries of origin by boat and rail to our production centres in Switzerland.
Responsible production
Our production centres are powered by 100% certified renewable electricity.
More than 7 Million
Trees have been planted globally with our partner PUR Project to inset operational carbon emissions. We are committed to tripling our planting capacity.
40,000
Trees will be planted, thousands of which in Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia thanks to our partnership with Tree Canada. This donation will support its National Greening Program which seeks to regreen areas in need of reforestation or afforestation, thereby contributing to cleaner air and waterways.
Carbon Neutrality:
Towards Net-Zero GHG Emissions
It is time to be bolder, more ambitious and to involve consumers in this journey through their coffee experiences. This is why we are scaling and accelerating our efforts across the full scope of GHG emissions from farm to end-of-life, preventing GHG emissions at the source of our activities, and removing carbon from the atmosphere to ultimately curb the evolution of our global footprint.
Six Levers of Action Will Be Triggered Across Our Value Chain
Regenerative Coffee Production
Accelerate the work that we do with the farmers we source our coffee from, encouraging and enabling the adoption of regenerative farming practices such as agroforestry, organic fertilisation, and soil cover.
Ecodesign
Focus on circularity and innovation, increasing the use of recycled and recyclable materials in the design of our capsules, accessories, and machines, and promoting refurbished machines.
Renewable energy
Continue to increase energy efficiency and move towards 100% renewable electricity across all Nespresso sites and boutiques.
Recycling
Work with our customers and consumers to continue to drive up recycling rates for Nespresso capsules, investing in initiatives that make recycling easier and simpler, and that make used coffee grounds a source of energy.
Logistics optimisation
Continue to work closely with our supply chain partners to introduce solutions and innovations that reduce carbon emissions throughout our operations, transport and delivery of our materials, goods, and products.
Tree Planting and Reforestation
Scale our track record of 5 million trees planted within and around coffee farms to further expand carbon sinks in the regions where we source coffee.
How Do I Recycle My Capsules?
Our capsules are made from infinitely recyclable aluminum. By recycling yours, you can help us give a second life to the recycled aluminum and the coffee grounds. See which simple recycling solution is available in your area.
