20 YEARS OF CARE

We’ve been committed to sustainable farming since 2003. It’s now time to go even further, with a global shift to regenerative agriculture. This is how we protect the precious coffee we love.

Our Regenerative journey

The Nespresso regenerative farming transition is anchored in four key principles.

COMMITTED TO NET ZERO BY 2050 AT THE LATEST

We believe that a low-carbon future represents the only future. So we will reduce and remove emissions throughout our value chain – even while we grow – with a goal of net‑zero GHG emissions by 2035 at the earliest. Making collective efforts to transition AAA farmers to regenerative agricultural practices is a critical priority.

* against the 2018 baseline, through reduction and insetting actions even as our company grows.
