Founded in 2011, the Sustainable Business Roundtable is a peer-to-peer learning network that brings together globally operating companies at the forefront of the sustainability revolution. Hosted by the ESMT Institute for Sustainable Transformation, the SBRT meets biannually, with two representatives from each member company attending to share best practices, innovative academic insights, and the challenges and opportunities they face in embedding sustainability into their business strategies. This format fosters a dynamic environment for debate and discussion, benefiting all participants.

“What sets SBRT apart is its focus on the intersection of sustainability with key business functions such as human resources, marketing, and investor relations,” said Joanna Radeke, director of the ESMT Institute for Sustainable Transformation. “Nespresso’s participation will provide invaluable insights and opportunities for our members and the broader business community.”

“Partnering with the SBRT is an exciting opportunity for Nespresso,” said Sven Matika, sustainability manager at Nespresso. “We believe that collaboration is key to addressing the complex sustainability challenges our industry faces. As a pioneer in the coffee industry, we are convinced that especially regenerative farming methods on the one hand, and greater appreciation for a valuable resource on the other, are key to secure high-quality coffee for the future. Together, we can push the boundaries of what is possible and create a lasting positive impact.”

The next Sustainable Business Roundtable will take place on November 27 and focus on net zero commitments, strategies, and transition plans. Find more information about the network and upcoming events here.
