We are convinced that coffee can be a force for good because it can shape communities and preserve landscapes for the better.

By the end of 2022 we will reach the goals of our current sustainability ambitions:

• Sourcing all our coffee sustainably.
• Making our own operations carbon neutral.
• Offering to more than 90% of our customers, easy access to a collection point to recycle used capsules.

We commit to accelerate our efforts in reducing, reusing and recycling.

• We have already started using recycled aluminium in our capsules
• We have already set up capsule collection systems for the infinitely recyclable aluminium of our capsules
• The infinitely recyclable aluminium from our capsules can have a second life after use, and never wasted.

The new reality we are all facing has also moved us to accelerate our plans in order to achieve in 2 years what we had initially planned to accomplish over the course of 10 years.

Creating a better tomorrow for farmers has always been our priority. That is why our commitment is to ensure farmers achieve a stable and viable living from coffee.

• We will continue to build on 20 years of partnership with farmers, paying premium coffee prices and encouraging sustainable practices.
• We are reducing risk from market and currency unpredictability and ensuring farmers can make a living off their work.
• We will work with our partners at Fairtrade to increase the share of our certified coffees.

The main chapters of your coffee’s carbon footprint*:

Chapter 1:
How a cup of coffee is prepared.

Chapter 2:
How green coffee is cultivated and transported.

Chapter 3:
How the coffee is packaged.

More than a third of your coffee’s carbon footprint (37%) comes from how it’s prepared from brewing to cup-washing*

The Nespresso Professional precision brewing system uses only what’s needed to prepare a cup of coffee – optimizing coffee, energy and water usage – making it a sustainable way to enjoy coffee

At 8%, packaging is the 4th largest contributor to your coffee’s carbon footprint*.

Plus, when you recycle Nespresso Professional capsules, you further reduce the carbon footprint of your cup of coffee.

In 2020, we brought in the expertise of Quantis, a globally recognized sustainability consulting group, to conduct a Product Life Cycle Assessment of a cup of Nespresso Professional coffee.

The study has been reviewed by independent experts and followed ISO 14040/44 standards.

It is based on:

• 40ml of Espresso cup ofNespresso
• Nespresso Professional system
• In Switzerland

All giving us a better perspective of our environmental impact.
