OUR B CORP™ JOURNEY
What is a B CORP™?
B Corps are certified companies that 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 three 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 company's legal framework and is considered throughout our operations.
A holistic approach
B Corp certified companies examine 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 maximisation.
This is why we innovate and co-create to drive positive change, 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. Yet we believe we can go further and be bolder in our ambitions to bring about a greater positive impact on the lives of coffee farmers and on nature. Becoming a B Corp provides a benchmark to measure our actions – highlighting both our strengths and where we can do better, accelerating our roadmap to improve.
The independently validated certification ensures Nespresso meets the rigorous verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. 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 more than 4,500 companies sharing the same desire to use business as a force for good.
A community we are proud and humbled to join.
All together
With the support of all our stakeholders, we are adapting the way we work and looking at the impact of every action - always trying that bit harder to create value that is good for everyone
