WHAT IS A B Corp™ company?

B Corp™ certified companies use the power of business to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

Committed to long-term change

B Corp™ certified companies are assessed every 3 years on whether they continue to meet rigorous verified standards. They must provide extensive evidence documenting their positive impact.

Using business as a force for good™ has been built into our articles of association and is considered throughout our operations.

Inspired by a holistic approach

B Corp™ certfied companies rethink their approach at every level and implement practices that consider the impact on all stakeholders: employees, partners, customers, society, and the environment.

For us, this means committing to circularity, climate and communities through numerous programs, initiatives and structures like the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program and our Sustainability Advisory Board

Determined to do further and more

B Corp™ certified companies are part of a global movement of companies and consumers commited to pursuing a higher purpose than just profit maximisation.

That's why we innovate, improve and co-create, whether through new recycling initiatives or by teaming up with partners like Rainforest Alliance, TechnoServe and FairTrade.

And ready to keep improving.

A NEW LEVEL OF COMMITMENT

For Nespresso, B Corp™ certification reflects 30 years of commitment to sustainability, although it's not always the quickest or easiest path. Being assessed by B Lab, the non-profit organisation that confers the certification, provides a benchmark to measure our actions – highlighting both our weaknesses and strengths, as well as a roadmap to improve and accelerate.

Ensuring Nespresso meets the riogorous verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, this independently validated certification is based on strict criteria across performance in five categories: governance, workers, customers, community, and the environment. Detailed data and evidence need to be provided, and the company’s legal framework modified.

More than just a certification, B Corp™ is a sustainability movement bringing together 4'500 companies sharing the same desire to use business as a force for good.

A community we're proud and humbled to join.

ALL TOGETHER

With the support of all our stakeholders, we're adapting the way we work and looking at the impact of every action – always trying that bit harder to create value that benefits everyone.
