What about Nestle climate targets not aligning with the 1.5 Paris Agreement goals? https://app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/7cdb1b98-eb3d-4b3e-9a06-3aabcca7d4a3
Nestlé's commitment to stop adding greenhouse gases to the air by 2050. To achieve this goal they're collaborating with suppliers to implement two innovative projects to reduce and remove carbon pollution from their cocoa supply chains.💚 Through this, they will plant over two million trees to remove and reduce over 500,000 tons of carbon over two decades.🌳 https://www.nestle.com/media/news/collaboration-suppliers-climate-change-impact-cocoa
Nestlé collaborates with suppliers to help address climate change impact in cocoa
As part of its commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050, Nestlé has launched two new projects, developed with suppliers Cargill and ETG | Beyond Beans, both aiming to reduce and remove carbon emissions from its supply chains.

In a new partnership, Nestlé Purina PetCare Europe has worked with a group of farmers in Suffolk, UK, to finance nature-based solutions that improve biodiversity and regenerate the soil on their land, preserving their long-term food production. Actions like these can also help companies reach their climate goals, as nature can remove carbon from the atmosphere and build ecosystems that protect from climate impacts. Through the Landscape Enterprise Networks program, Nestlé connects businesses with farmers and land managers who need financing to implement nature-based solutions. Reducing emissions isn’t only about electrification and renewable energy. By preserving and restoring nature, we help it to continue to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing the greenhouse effect that causes climate change. Strengthening nature also strengthens plants and animals in the surrounding ecosystems, which is important for water quality, flood risk mitigation, and the continued supply of crops as we continue to cultivate the soil. There are many nature-based solutions that build environmental resilience and reduce emissions, but financing them can be a challenge. To help overcome this challenge, Nestlé has partnered with 3keel to launch the Landscape Enterprise Networks (LENs) program. The program encourages businesses from different sectors to work together to understand the risks and opportunities inherent in a specific landscape. After that, relevant nature-based interventions are identified that support the preservation of nature in that landscape, and the businesses are connected to farmers and land managers who can implement them. The businesses get an opportunity to support environmental resilience as part of their long-term risk management, while the local actors get financing for activities that support their profession in the long term, making this a win-win. As an example from 2023, Nestlé Purina PetCare Europe has collaborated with a group of farmers who grow wheat for cereals and pet food on 5,500 hectares of land in East Anglia, United Kingdom. The group of farmers, calling themselves the High Suffolk Farm Cluster, wanted to regenerate their land and protect biodiversity to improve resilience in the face of climate change impacts and secure their long-term food production. Through the LENs program, the farmers were provided a coherent way to get funding for their activities, collecting proposals from multiple businesses in different sectors into a single offer. Meanwhile, the businesses were offered an efficient opportunity to support nature-based solutions that help them reach their sustainability goals. This partnership allowed the farmers to not only employ more regenerative practices but also improve biodiversity through hedgerow planting and to make a comprehensive hedgerow survey of the entire project area. Other interventions to preserve biodiversity were deploying locally made bird boxes to help bird populations make it through winter, making the farms more habitable for bees, and protecting a total of 331 hectares of woodland and 220 hectares of permanent grassland. Any support must be “farmer-led, and with people at the heart”, highlights Matt Ryan, Regeneration Lead at Nestlé UK and Ireland. “Our involvement in this, and other farm clusters, provides vital financial and communications support. We are determined to assist farmers to not only continue producing high-quality food, but also help them to improve on-farm biodiversity and deliver positive environmental outcomes for the wider landscape.” Read more about this and our other climate efforts of 2023 in our 2023 Sustainability Report.

Nestlé's unwavering commitment to promoting the fundamental human rights of water and sanitation deserves commendation. Recognizing that access to clean water is a basic human right, Nestlé, as a global business, is utilizing its considerable scale to extend support to communities worldwide. Collaborating with local organizations and partners, Nestlé is actively working to enhance water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) access for people in the areas where they operate. What sets Nestlé apart is its strategic approach to WASH initiatives, driven by the Community Relations Process tool. This tool ensures that the impact of Nestlé's initiatives is maximized by engaging with local communities to identify and address their specific needs. Nestlé's focus extends beyond its operations, emphasizing the provision of safe drinking water and sanitation for both employees and the communities surrounding its facilities. The launch of the Human Rights Salient Issue Action Plan on the Right to Water and Sanitation at the beginning of 2023 further underscores Nestlé's commitment. This action plan, embedded in Nestlé's water stewardship activities, aims to prevent and mitigate WASH risks in both operations and the agricultural supply chain. Noteworthy is Nestlé's impactful intervention in Benha, Egypt, where a bottling facility and the local community of Kafr Arbeen faced water scarcity. Through collaboration with local municipalities, Nestlé replaced outdated water storage tanks, enhanced pumping efficiency, and installed a filtration system, thereby ensuring more homes have access to clean running water. Additionally, Nestlé's initiative to rehabilitate the Senaity canal not only prevented water leakages but also improved water flow to agricultural land, positively impacting crop health and the local community's prosperity. In water-stressed Pakistan, Nestlé's commitment to WASH is evident through its factories meeting the WASH pledge requirements, benefiting over 7500 employees. The establishment of six drinking water facilities, providing clean and safe water to over 60,000 people daily, reflects Nestlé's dedication to making a meaningful impact in water-stressed regions. Nestlé's holistic approach to WASH, spanning from community engagement tools to on-the-ground interventions, showcases a corporate responsibility that goes beyond business operations, contributing significantly to improving lives and communities globally. https://www.nestle.com/sustainability/water/access-clean-water-communities

In an eye-catching move, Nestlé joined 130 other industry giants to push for a game-changing move at the COP28 summit. The big ask? Wave goodbye to fossil fuels! With a staggering $1 trillion in combined annual revenues, these companies are pulling out all the stops to hasten the switch to cleaner energy systems. A Bold Timeline The joint letter, published in October carefully orchestrated by the We Mean Business Coalition, doesn't mince words. These companies want a firm timeline for kicking fossil fuels to the curb. This means having 100% clean energy systems by 2035 for richer countries and financial support for developing nations to do the same by 2040 at the latest. The chorus of supporters is impressive, spanning not just corporate giants like Nestlé, Heineken, IKEA, and Iberdrola, but also small and medium-sized businesses. The Call to Action is still open for signatures for any other companies looking to support it. This united front underscores the widespread understanding that real progress demands a joint effort, where both corporations and governments step up to the plate. COP28 Summit: The Make-or-Break Moment As the countdown to the COP28 summit in Dubai begins, the urgency could not be more palpable. Scientific alarms are ringing loud and clear, signalling that the world's current trajectory falls far short of the Paris agreement goals set in 2015. According to Reuters, “more scientists [are] warning that the world is not on course to avoid the worst impacts of climate change by meeting the goals of the 2015 Paris accord.” Brace yourself for a heated debate at COP28 on the timeline for bidding adieu to fossil fuels. Tensions are expected to run high as developing nations call for financial backing from richer countries to keep up with the pace of change. A Collective Call to Action: Businesses Leading the Way This collective push from industry heavyweights carries a strong message - the time to act on climate change is now. It highlights the critical need for collaboration between public and private sectors to ensure a sustainable future for our planet. As the world looks to the COP28 summit for pivotal decisions, the resounding call to ditch fossil fuels may just mark the beginning of a monumental shift towards a cleaner, greener future. To stay updated on the latest developments in the global shift towards cleaner energy and the phasing out of fossil fuels, visit the We Mean Business Coalition's page. Here is the Link to We Mean Business Coalition page to sign up and join the 130 companies. Understanding the urgent need for collective action is crucial in combating climate change. Join the conversation and be part of the solution.

Companies including Nestle, Unilever (LON:ULVR), Mahindra Group and Volvo (OTC:VLVLY) Cars are urging political leaders to agree a timeline at the upcoming U.N. climate summit to phase out fossil fuels. The 131 companies, which have nearly $1 trillion in global annual revenues, wrote in a letter published on Monday that attendees at the COP28 summit must commit to reach 100% decarbonised power systems by 2035 for richer economies, and help developing countries financially so they can ditch fossil fuels by 2040 at the latest. Our businesses are feeling the impacts and cost of increasing extreme weather events resulting from climate change," the companies wrote in the letter, which was coordinated by the non-profit We Mean Business Coalition, which is pushing for greater climate action globally. To decarbonise the global energy system, we need to ramp up clean energy as fast as we phase out the use and production of fossil fuels," they wrote.The letter's 131 signatories, which include Bayer (OTC:BAYRY), Heineken (AS:HEIN), IKEA and Iberdrola (OTC:IBDRY), span a range of sectors and include multinationals and small and medium-sized businesses. Companies are increasingly committing to their own timelines for reducing their emissions, but many acknowledge that their ability to slow planet-warming CO2 emissions is contingent on faster action from governments. COP28 begins in Dubai on Nov. 30 against a backdrop of more scientists warning that the world is not on course to avoid the worst impacts of climate change by meeting the goals of the 2015 Paris accord, which committed countries to limit global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees Celsius (34.7°F) from pre-industrial levels. The speed at which countries should phase out fossil fuels will be one of the thorniest issues. Calls from Europe and elsewhere to stop burning CO2-emitting fuels will run into the arguments of the world's biggest fossil fuel producers, consumers, as well as poorer nations that say they cannot cut CO2 emissions fast enough without significantly more financial support from wealthy nations. https://www.investing.com/news/commodities-news/nestle-volvo-among-130-companies-urging-cop28-agreement-to-ditch-fossil-fuels-3205512

Nestlé, a global leader in the food industry, is spearheading a remarkable shift toward regenerative agriculture. This innovative approach to farming goes beyond sustainability—it aims to enhance soil health, soil fertility, protect water resources, and bolster biodiversity. By restoring soil health and capturing more carbon from the atmosphere, Nestlé is taking a vital step towards combating climate change, supporting communities, and preserving natural resources. The Need for Change Nestlé's Net Zero Roadmap reveals that nearly two-thirds of its greenhouse gas emissions originate from agriculture, making it imperative to address this issue. To tackle this challenge, Nestlé is introducing regenerative agriculture, a concept with immense potential to combat climate change while fostering sustainable communities. Scaling Up for Impact Nestlé's commitment to regenerative agriculture is unwavering. In 2022, 6.8% of its key ingredients were sourced through regenerative agriculture methods, and the goal is ambitious: by 2025, this figure will rise to 20%, and by 2030, an astounding 50%—equivalent to an estimated 14 million tonnes—of key ingredients will be sourced regeneratively. The Pillars of Regenerative Agriculture 1. Biodiversity, Collective & Landscape Actions: Nestlé is dedicated to safeguarding and increasing biodiversity. By diversifying crops, intercropping, and planting cover crops, they enhance plant life and promote abundant animal life, benefiting soil nutrient cycles, pollination, and fertility. 2. Water Security and Quality: Nestlé is committed to protecting natural water sources and efficient water stewardship. Strategic irrigation practices and reduced chemical farm inputs help conserve water and improve its quality. 3. Soil Health: Nestlé works with over 500,000 farmers and 150,000 suppliers to promote soil health. Initiatives like crop rotation, mulching, and organic fertilizers are enhancing soil organic matter, making it more productive and resilient. 4. Diverse Cropping Systems & Livestock Integration: Nestlé integrates livestock and optimizes grazing in farming systems. These practices, including silvopasture and agroforestry, improve soil protection, water management, and provide additional income sources. 5. Collective & Landscape Actions: Nestlé extends regenerative agriculture practices beyond individual farms, benefiting entire landscapes, communities, and reducing emissions. Investing in the Future Nestlé's commitment to regenerative agriculture involves investing CHF 1.2 billion by 2025 to catalyze change across its supply chain. Their holistic approach includes pilot studies, reference farms, and industry alignment on common frameworks and metrics for regenerative agriculture. A Just Transition Nestlé's journey toward regenerative food systems is rooted in human rights, scientific guidance, investment support, and premium payments for regenerative agriculture goods. Their goal is to create a just transition that supports resilient and fair livelihoods worldwide. Nestlé is not just transforming agriculture; they're sowing the seeds of a sustainable future for all. https://www.nestle.com/sustainability/nature-environment/regenerative-agriculture

Nestle SA announced it has partnered with French retailer Carrefour and global circular company Loop to offer reusable containers for its Nesquik cocoa powder, Ricore chicory and coffee drink, and Chocapic Bio cereals. The transition to reusable containers is part of Nestle’s broader initiative to reduce packaging through the use of alternative packaging delivery systems. Nestle said the cocoa, coffee and chicory drink, and cereal products will be available in reusable stainless-steel containers through Carrefour’s e-commerce delivery platform. The products are expected to be available online and in 10 Carrefour stores in and around Paris by the end of this year.Consumers will be able to return the containers to stores or have them collected from their homes, at which point they will be cleaned, refilled and put back in Loop’s circular system. “The involvement of these three new brands in the Loop approach continues to prove our desire to initiate new projects to reduce our impact on the environment,” said Mathieu Tuau, director of packaging and sustainability at Nestle. “It is with this in mind that we have created the Institute of Packaging Sciences, a dedicated team whose mission is to develop and test the packaging of tomorrow, more respectful of the environment.” Earlier this month, Nestle SA unveiled new commitments and projects as part of the company’s goal to halve its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and realize net zero by 2050. Among those commitments was a pledge of 100% reusable/recyclable packaging by 2025. Initiatives underway include the conversion of Nestle USA’s creamer portfolio to fully recyclable bottles by 2022 and the launch of fully recyclable flexible plastic bags for its Nestle Toll House Bite-Sized Chocolate Chip Edible Cookie Dough. https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/17478-nestle-aims-to-reduce-packaging-in-france-with-reusable-containers

During the UN climate conference COP27, Nestlé participated in the COP27 Climate Hub, an on-site and digital broadcast hosted by We Don’t Have Time from Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt. Saint-Francis Tohlang, Corporate Communications & Public Affairs Director of Nestlé East & Southern Africa Region, joined the broadcast from Sharm El-Sheikh to talk about regenerative agriculture. Nestlé is one of the world’s largest food and beverage companies, and as such has a massive opportunity to help farmers across the world to produce food in a more sustainable way. Regenerative agriculture is key to transforming how food is produced, providing significant potential benefits when it comes to climate action and food security, but it is a difficult transition to make. To promote regenerative agriculture in the farming community, it is essential to work in close cooperation with farmers to understand the challenges that they are facing and to help them understand the need to evolve existing practices. To do this, Nestlé has developed the Farmer Connect program, where the company provides farmers with tools and knowledge to help make their food production more sustainable, and in return, Nestlé can help improve the traceability of key ingredients. The program brings value to both farmer communities and to Nestlé as a company, delivering more sustainable agriculture practices. Nestlé is working holistically with farmers to help improve livelihoods through different types of incentives. Saint-Francis brought up two inspiring success stories in Ghana and the Ivory Coast. Through the Nestlé Cocoa Plan, Nestlé is addressing the risk of child labor by incentivizing farmers to keep their children in school and encouraging crop diversification, which can provide farmers with an alternative income. Farmers have also adopted agroforestry, which increases the resilience of their crops. Taken together, these measures help address the root causes of social and environmental issues in this region. Nestlé is investing about 1.2 billion Swiss francs by 2025 to scale regenerative agriculture in its supply chain. By investing, collaborating, and moving things in the right direction, Nestlé is taking a leading position. “We do not have all the solutions, but we do not have time either, and we are doing our best to move the needle and push the right kind of agriculture,” says Saint-Francis Tohlang. Incentivizing the farmers is a big part of the promotion work. "It is almost like change management, and change management is about gradually building ambassadors for the change, and that's what you are able to do when the farmer sees tangible benefits not only for their own livelihood but also for the environment. I think it is a win-win, and it is getting us somewhere…. it is not perfect, there is a lot more work to do, but it is definitely a journey, and as I said, if you think about change management, that farmer will then share with their peer, with their neighbor, leading to wonderful results" says Saint-Francis. https://youtu.be/8sZctpxYYGI?t=13383 Rewatch the COP27 Climate Hub anytime on We Don’t Have Time Play.

Nestlé, one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, announced that it aimed to make all of its packaging 100% recyclable or reusable by 2025. However, this promise was met with skepticism from environmental groups who criticized the company for lack of specific targets and a plan to achieve this goal. Greenpeace calls Nestlé's statement "greenwashing" and insufficient in reducing single-use plastics. Misleading claims aka greenwashing is becoming a new best marketing technique to generate more profits using 'sustainability' as a shield. https://earth.org/greenwashing-companies-corporations/

Lets hope the plan sees light of day
It is important a brand most known for candy and coffee spread the importance of healthy nutritious food. So often the ones who suffer are the families who earn just over the amount or only qualify for amounts not enough to make a difference in their meal selection. Canned good are great in a pinch but lack the vitamins you get from fresh veggies and fruits. But with the rising cost more and more families are forced to choose the option that fits best with their budget. Fresh fruits and vegetables should not be a luxury for rich families they should be the go to affordable choice for everyone. Nestle taking the initiative to promote healthy lifestyles through good nutritious foods shows not only do they care about their customers they are willing to spend money to help out fixing the problem. Three cheers for Nestle!

KitKat is introducing recyclable paper packaging as a pilot test for the brand. The recyclable paper packaging will be available for a limited time in Australia. Louise Barrett, Head of the Nestlé Confectionery Product Technology Centre in York, said: "We are exploring different types of alternative packaging solutions for our confectionary products. For KitKat, the challenge was to find the right paper packaging solution with a high level of barrier properties to adequately protect the chocolate. We had to maintain the perfect balance between the iconic crispy wafer and smooth chocolate that people know and love, whilst at the same time ensuring the packaging is recyclable in the paper stream." A significant step in reducing plastic pollution! I hope this test will be a success and be developed in other countries. Read more: https://www.nestle.com/media/news/recycle-paper-packaging-kitkat

Good step! Next on is to tackle the sustainability of their chocolate :)

This very commendable step and it's important to note that for the paper to be truly recyclable, the consumers need to dispose of the wrappers properly and for the recycling facilities to be able to process them, otherwise, they will end up in landfills.

In Kenya, 10years ago, Nestle launched a great initiative in collaboration with ministry of education and ministry of Agriculture with aim of feeding school children for a healthier life to kids. It has been motivated by four core objectives which encourages kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, eat well-managed portions, drink more water, and exercise regularly / move more. Now the programme has expanded to over 890 schools, covering 7 counties in Nairobi, Kiambu, Muranga, Embu, Meru, Kirinyaga and Kakamega, reaching over 700,000 pupils and 1500 teachers in participating regions. “The goal of Nestlé for Healthier Kids in Kenya through its campaigns and initiatives, is to support parents and caregivers to raise healthier kids and to inspire the children themselves to get involved in preparation of meals and learn the importance of a healthy lifestyle. “We make things fun by using storytelling techniques and involve their teachers as direct partners with us to educate them on the importance of having a balanced diet,” said Mr. Ng’entu Njeru, Cluster Head, East and Horn of Africa, Nestlé ESAR. Other core activities that take place within the Nestlé for Healthier Kids Programme is the construction of the vegetable gardens. The children are taught how to create and build a kitchen garden in school by the Nestlé for Healthier Kids instructors and are also given tips on how to maintain it as well. The vegetable gardens are a core part of showing the kids a sustainable approach from farm to table which they can replicate at home with their parents. The vegetable gardens are a great way for kids to learn how to grow their own food like tomatoes, spinach, and kale. They make sure they educate kids on the nutritional benefits of each food group and why it is important for them to eat a balanced diet, WE DONT HAVE TIME-KENYA CHAPTER, recently visited one of their project in slum areas in Kenya and we were very pleased by their project, keep it up @Nestle, here is the attached link of our experience. https://app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/3b53dd3a-f4ce-4625-96f9-47f4360cca4e?utm_source=url-copy%26utm_medium=wdht-web-app-share%26utm_campaign=patrick_kiash

Finally, and one good act, but I believe this is just GREENWASHING. Nestlé has historically been one of the worst multis in the food industry, involved in many big scandals (like breaking WHO rules for ads on breast milk substitute). So, sorry, you won’t get my vote here.

Making people feel closer to the source of their food is a great way to make them think more about sustainability when they buy food.

Soft plastics as a resource. Dear Nestlé, We have used your product, have a case study and now are commercializing a circular economy system to reuse your soft plastic waste. Lets talk.

I agree with the poster as a bandaid, but ItsHighTime is correct. Other companies are ending plastic bottles. Get to it, Nestle.

There should be an end to plastic water bottles and Nestlé has a horrible record as does Coca-Cola. Recovery and volume as well as micro plastics in our food chains as all reasons to use plastics only very sparingly. We can manage ourselves by making good choices into the future and not just cleaning up bigger messes. I am all for circular economies and this is a step but even Coca-Cola is failing in their recycling promises. Look into that and you will see that there is a big mess created all over the planet with these plastic drinking bottles.

On June 2nd, Owen Bethell, Environmental Impact Lead, Global Public Affairs and ESG Engagement at Nestlé, joined the Stockholm+50 Climate Hub to talk about Nestlés work promoting regenerative agriculture in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve conditions for farmers and their communities. As one of the largest global food companies, Nestlé recognizes the need to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is a huge challenge - in 2018 Nestlé’s emissions were twice that of Switzerland, the company’s home country, said Owen Bethell in his keynote. A lot needs to be done, and most of it is out of Nestlé’s direct control. Around 95% of Nestlé’s carbon footprint consists of Scope 3 emissions - emissions from supply chains but not directly emitted by the company. These include emissions from suppliers of food ingredients and other materials like packaging and logistics. Two-thirds of Nestlé’s Scope 3 emissions come from ingredients and the agricultural practices used to produce them. In order to meaningfully reduce this carbon footprint, Nestlé is supporting farmers in adopting less carbon-intensive practices. The company is banking on regenerative agriculture to do so, which delivers other positive effects like improving resilience and securing incomes for the farmers and communities. But it’s not always easy to make the switch. “When you implement regenerative agriculture through a project, there may be a series of interventions required to help farmers. They may see a decline in their yield initially, and so they require support in the form of financial guarantees, risk management and expertise from agronomists.” says Owen Bethell, explaining that Nestlé is implementing a global program to help farmers in the transition to regenerative agriculture. Nestlé’s global program on regenerative agriculture involves hundreds of projects that support farmers across the world in adopting regenerative agriculture, through financial support, advice from agronomists, and customized guidance for reaching the best results in their environment. Through this program, Nestlé aims to have around 20% of its key ingredients come from regenerative agriculture by 2025, and around 50% by 2030. If it reaches this goal, it would mean around 14 million tonnes of ingredients being shifted to regenerative agriculture - a significant change in production. This is not an ambition to be taken lightly, it will require hard work, dedication and some trial and error to reach it. Nestlé’s actions on their own will not change the food system. That’s why the company engages in significant advocacy efforts to help build a movement across the industry and with farmers to embrace regenerative agriculture more widely. This shift also relies on support from policy makers - ensuring financial incentives for farmers reward regenerative rather than degenerative practices.
