# illycaffè confirms B Corp™ certification under the new V2 standards

Sep 24, 2026

**Trieste, September 24, 2026** – illycaffè announces that it has obtained **B Corp™ recertification** under the new V2 standards defined by B Lab, confirming its commitment to integrating economic, social, and environmental objectives into its business model and corporate decision-making processes.

The new certification framework represents a significant evolution in the B Corp journey. It introduces clearer and more structured requirements, verified by independent third parties, and requires companies to demonstrate concrete performance and progress across priority impact areas, including **governance and business purpose, climate action, human rights, fair work, environmental stewardship and circularity, justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, and collective action to promote systemic change.**

For illycaffè, recertification is part of a long-term journey grounded in the conscious management of its actions toward **its stakeholders**: from coffee-growing communities to employees, from business partners to consumers, and to the territories in which the company operates. The recertification confirms illycaffè’s intention to continue operating according to principles of responsibility and stakeholder governance, helping to promote a more inclusive, equitable, and long-term-oriented economic model.

“*Being part of the B Corp movement means embracing a vision of business that measures success not only through economic results, but also through the ability to contribute responsibly and consistently to the wellbeing of people, communities, and the environment,”* said **Cristina Scocchia, Chief Executive Officer of illycaffè.** *“Recertification under the new standards is an important achievement and, at the same time, a further incentive to continue our journey of improvement with rigor, transparency, and consistency with the values that have always guided the way we do business.”*

*“illycaffè’s recertification under the new B Lab Standards is a meaningful milestone for the coffee sector and for the wider B Corp movement. As a Certified B Corporation, illycaffè has been verified as meeting standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. At a time when expectations of business continue to rise, illycaffè is showing that leadership means being willing to be measured, independently verified, and held accountable to global standards. We are proud that illycaffè has recommitted to the B Corp movement, working to benefit people and the planet”* said **Juliette Caulkins, Managing Director, B Lab Europe.**

B Corp™ certification is promoted by B Lab, an international nonprofit organization that evaluates companies based on standards relating to social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. With the update of its certification system, B Lab has introduced a more detailed approach focused on progressive improvement, in line with the evolving expectations of consumers, institutions, and markets toward business.

illycaffè

An Italian family-owned company founded in Trieste in 1933, illycaffè has always pursued the mission of offering the best coffee in the world. It produces a unique 100% Arabica blend made from 9 different ingredients. Every day, more than 10 million cups of illy coffee are enjoyed in cafés, restaurants, hotels, single-brand cafés, homes and offices in over 140 countries, where the company is present through subsidiaries and distributors. Since its foundation, illycaffè has oriented its strategies towards a sustainable business model, a commitment it strengthened in 2019 by adopting the status of Benefit Corporation and in 2021 by becoming the first Italian coffee company to obtain international B Corp certification. Everything “made in illy” is enriched by beauty and art, starting with the logo designed by James Rosenquist, the illy Art Collection, the cups decorated by more than 135 international artists, and the coffee machines designed by internationally renowned designers. With the aim of spreading a culture of quality among growers, baristas and coffee lovers, the company developed its Università del Caffè, which today offers courses in 24 countries around the world. In 2025, illycaffè generated consolidated revenues of €700 million.
