Commitment to ambitious coffee, capsules
and carbon sustainability targets
Nestlé Nespresso SA today launched Ecolaboration(TM), a platform 
for partnership with key stakeholders to improve the sustainability 
throughout the Nespresso value chain. With the launch the company

enhance its sustainability performance by 2013. Through 
Ecolaboration(TM), Nespresso will consolidate and extend all of 
Nespresso's sustainability efforts in coffee, capsules, machines, 
together with its overall operations, into a single concerted program
Nespresso's foundation Ecolaboration(TM) targets commit the 
organization to achieve the following by 2013:
  • Nespresso will source 80% of its coffee through its unique AAA Sustainable Quality(TM) Program and Rainforest Alliance Certified(TM) farms
  • Nespresso will put systems in place to triple its capacity to recycle used capsules to 75%
  • Nespresso will reduce the overall Carbon Footprint required to produce every cup of Nespresso by 20%
Nespresso CEO, Richard Girardot, said at the launch "Ecolaboration
(TM) will bring very significant environmental, social and economic 
benefits to Nespresso, our consumers, and especially our many 
thousands of coffee growing partners in Central America, Africa and 
soon India.. Ecolaboration(TM) will allow us introduce sustainable 
innovation into everything we do, powering Nespresso's growth, our 
sustainable success, into the future," Mr Girardot said
