Sustainability at Nestlé
At Nestlé, we are leveraging our expertise, resources and global reach to help address some of the world’s most pressing challenges while at the same time making our business more resilient. From advancing nutrition with options for balanced diets to supporting regenerative agriculture practices, and from supporting livelihoods in our supply chains to pursuing innovation in waste reduction and water management – Nestlé aims to contribute to change.
Our Road to Net Zero
We aim to reduce our GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 compared to our 2018 baseline,* and reach net zero GHG emissions by 2050 at the latest.
In 2019, we announced our global ambition to reach net zero GHG emissions by 2050 at the latest. In 2026, we updated our timebound plan, the Nestlé Roots of Net Zero, which underpins our Group's climate and nature strategy and acts as our transition plan aligned with a 1.5°C pathway as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We will balance any remaining emissions through high-quality nature-based solutions, such as agroforestry, silvopasture and the restoration of forests and peatland. Read more about net zero.

* Net reductions (%) of GHG emissions versus 2018 baseline includes removals from inside Nestlé's value chains and sourcing landscapes (pending the publication of the SBTi guidance on neutralization). Certain categories of emissions are excluded from our SBTi net zero target. Despite these exclusions, 90% of our total Scope 3 emissions are included in the net zero scope and target.

Our goal is to support our customers in the food service industry, helping to share insights and knowledge of the emerging trends, important issues, and best practices.
