True North: 13%

Lavazza's True North score reflects its status as a fully foreign-owned and controlled manufacturer. While the brand maintains a dedicated sales and distribution presence in Canada, the capital and strategic control remain concentrated in Italy, and primary material sourcing is dictated by global agricultural necessity.

Green Score: 27/100

This product uses a multi-material flexible plastic bag that is difficult to recycle in standard curbside programs due to its laminated barrier layers. While it qualifies as a whole food with a single ingredient, the lack of visible sustainability certifications and the use of non-recyclable packaging materials negatively impact its environmental score. The packaging-to-product weight ratio is efficient, but the material complexity remains a primary concern.
