We source more than 80% of our coffee through the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, developed in 2003 with the Rainforest Alliance in order to meet our need for securing the highest quality coffee in the world, while focusing on environmental sustainability and farmer welfare. The core of our commitment to sustainability and farmer welfare is built around this program and we currently work with more than 70,000 farmers across 12 countries.
Many of the positives of the Fairtrade scheme – such as farmers working in co-operatives, being close to the final buyers, a price that allows for fair labour practices – are also part of our AAA Program, which also includes environmental, crop quality improvement and a premium above market price.
