Coffee with Commitment
Keeping the world’s cup full, sustainably
Our sustainability programme, Coffee with Commitment, is our action plan to drive positive change in the areas where we can have the greatest impact, and that matter most to our teams, suppliers, partners and our consumers. It considers everything that's poured into your cup of perfectly crafted coffee – the ingredients you can see, as well as the ones you can't.

Cups and packaging
The packaging we serve our products in is really important to us, to you, and for the planet. That’s why we will continue to prioritise the sustainability of our packaging, including our takeaway cups, lids, cans and pods.
Wherever possible we will create circular solutions, considering the entire lifecycle of each piece of packaging – reducing waste, boosting recycling, and using recycled material – moving towards reuse as our ultimate goal.
Climate
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. The science is clear: to avoid its very worst effects, we need to limit global warming to 1.5C.
To play our part in tackling climate change, we need to think and act boldly. The targets we’ve set ourselves are significant; they'll drive us to genuinely change the way we do business, globally.
Communities
A Costa coffee is more than a drink, it’s a connection. We’re proud to be part of diverse, unique communities all around the world. We roll up our sleeves and get stuck into supporting local causes, working hard to drive change for the better.
Our stores and team members are at the heart of communities across the UK. This gives us the opportunity to make a real difference that goes way beyond our doors.
