Nespresso is owned by Nestle just fyi
This article from 2017 points out that 10 companies control nearly everything food related we buy. https://www.good.is/Business/food-brands-owners-rp
Nespresso, despite Nestle's ownership is sourcing 95% of it's coffee from certified sustainable sources.
Here's a statement on how Nespresso is transitioning to Fairtrade. https://www.fairtradeamerica.org/why-fairtrade/global-impact/impact-stories/nespresso-how-to-build-resilient-farming-communities/
So yes, I know that Nespresso is owned by and benefits Nestle. But I also know that Nespresso has high ethical standards that are demonstrated in their commitment to sustainability from farm to recycling.
