Nespresso recently announced that it will be the first company to use responsibly-sourced aluminium, supplied by Rio Tinto, to produce its coffee capsules. We are working with Rio Tinto to fulfill our commitment of sourcing 100 percent sustainable aluminum by 2020.
Nespresso helped form the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) in 2009 with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), WWF, Rio Tinto Alcan and others, to develop an international standard for responsible aluminium. This standard was released in 2017.
The ASI sets out standards to promote the protection of biodiversity, respect for indigenous people’s rights, water management and low-carbon emissions during the production of aluminium.
