Nexba presents itself as a drinks brand focused on sugar-free, all-natural products. Its website highlights kombucha, better sodas, and other functional drinks, and says the business is locally made and Australian owned. Independent sustainability information is mixed. Goodness Group Global, the parent company linked to Nexba, has B Corp certification, which means it has been checked against social and environmental standards. At the same time, third-party assessors flag wider concerns tied to the parent group’s ownership and climate performance, including high ESG risk and weak benchmark scores. Overall, the picture is one of some formal sustainability recognition, but also clear gaps and criticism.
Positive Sentiment Found
There is some positive third-party recognition around Nexba through its parent company, Goodness Group Global. The strongest signal is B Corp certification, which means the business was checked by B Lab against standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Goodness Group Global also has a B Impact Score of 84.8, which is above the 80-point bar needed for certification and above the median score of 50.9 for businesses. On the brand’s own site, customer comments are also very positive, with praise for taste and the sugar-free offer, but those are not independent sustainability reviews. The Commons app also shows a 4.8/5 average app rating and says it helps people choose more sustainable brands, though that is about the app, not Nexba itself.
Common Criticisms:
Independent sustainability assessments raise several concerns about the wider group linked to Nexba. Goodness Group Global is not shown as having broad third-party environmental leadership beyond its B Corp status, and the available material does not show detailed public reporting on emissions, packaging, or supply chain impacts. The parent company’s owner, Reliance Consumer Products Ltd, is listed as having no assessment data in the source material, which leaves a gap in public transparency. The wider corporate group also sits under Reliance Industries, which is flagged by third-party benchmarks for major climate and social weaknesses, including a high ESG risk score of 39.9, a C on climate lobbying, 0/100 in Just Transition, 6/100 in the Social Benchmark, and an F in ACT Core. These scores suggest weak performance on climate planning, worker rights, and social responsibility at the group level.
