Mar.08.2024 Happy International Women's Day. At Nespresso, we know that when you empower women to reach their potential, everyone benefits. Since the establishment of our gender equality strategy in 2017, under the umbrella of the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, we have been leveraging our peer reviewed Gender Analysis Tool to unearth opportunities for gender equality improvement in our coffee sourcing regions. In Ethiopia in particular, this work has highlighted the scale of the challenges faced: 95% of women had not finished primary school Over 50% of women had received zero education Ethiopia scores as ‘High Risk’ for women’s exposure to discrimination including gender-based violence That’s why we have developed collaborative training projects here, driving systemic change that empowers women – and also men, with both genders actively participating. These include Women's Leadership, Financial Literacy and Household Nutrition, and Safe Spaces, a learning activity for both men and women that aims to change harmful gender norms. With each training project delivered, we feel we are taking a small step to creating a coffee farming future where everyone can flourish.
Celebrate 20 years of progress and impact the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program. The Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program is Nespresso responsible coffee sourcing program designed to ensure the continued supply of high-quality coffee while improving the livelihoods of farmers and their communities and protecting the environment. It has been developed and implemented in collaboration with The Rainforest Alliance and launched in 2003 in Costa Rica. Sustainable farm management is at its heart but it also enables the deployment of solutions for community and landscape resilience. Building on 20 years of direct relationships with farmers, we aim to continue to drive premium quality coffee sourcing, to protect coffee farmer income and human rights, and to evolve towards regenerative agriculture.

Changes in the way we get around work every day. At Nespresso, we love a good and sustainable journey to work to prepare for the day or to recharge after a long and busy week. Hence, we are excited to share practices. In line with the expectations of Switzerland, the canton of Vaud and the municipal authorities, we have introduced the Nestlé mobility plan on the Riviera. Based on a simple and flexible approach, our mobility plan encourages us all to leave our cars at home and rewards those who use alternative means of transport (walking, train or bus, bike or motorcycle, etc.) to get to the office.
