CERTIFIED B CORP

30 years of commitment to sustainability

What is a B CORP™?

As a certified B Corp, Nespresso is joining a growing community of for-profit brands committed to the global movement of building a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

Committed to long-term change

Nespresso doesn’t just deliver exceptional coffee. We are committed to long-term change to meet the ongoing verified standards of a B Corp certification. From supporting independent farmers’ livelihoods worldwide and giving back locally through volunteer days, to collaborating with nonprofit partnerships like the Ali Forney Center to create limited-edition artist mugs — we strive to preserve a sustainable coffee ecosystem that helps local communities thrive and protects the environment.

Inspired by a holistic approach

B Corp certified 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 go further and do more

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

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

A new level of commitment

For Nespresso, B Corp certification reflects 30 years of commitment to sustainability. Although it is not always the quickest or easiest path. Being assessed by B Lab, the non-profit organization 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 these rigorous 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 are proud and humbled to join.
