To ensure alignment between the ambitions of The Positive Cup and Nestlé’s purpose, we have established specific processes and assigned areas of responsibility.
By doing so, we are able to ensure that socio-environmental risks and opportunities are always considered as part of Nespresso’s decision-making processes. This approach helps to deliver positive impacts across our value chain.
External consultation is also an important part of our overall governance structure. It provides us with clear, independent guidance as well as enabling transformative solutions to be built and implemented.
Leadership
Our sustainability vision is led by our former CEO, Guillaume Le Cunff, and is supported by the efforts of a number of leaderships teams and committees. Their primary role is to set the strategic and operational framework that helps bring this overall vision to life.
