Nespresso

Nespresso was created inside Nestle in 1986 in Switzerland, building the market for portioned espresso at home.

The company says every cup should be a force for good, anchored by its AAA Sustainable Quality Program run with Rainforest Alliance across its coffee farms.

It sells espresso machines, aluminum coffee capsules, and accessories worldwide, by subscription and boutique.

B Corp certification and deep farmer-program investment are real strengths; the gap is the model itself, since single-use aluminum capsules depend on recycling rates the company cannot fully control.
