Nestlé is committed to being a leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations by improving energy efficiency, switching to cleaner fuels (from coal to gas, for example) and investing in renewable sources such as spent coffee grounds, and wood from sustainably managed forests.
We are committed to reinforcing our leadership role and plan to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions even further:
- in our own directly controlled operations;
- by further decoupling energy generation and CO2 emissions;
- by continuously improving our energy efficiency;
- through a continuous move towards renewable energy;
- by helping those in our supply chain, mainly through Nestlé’s Sustainable Agriculture Initiative;
- by helping our consumers, through innovative solutions such as Nespresso and Dolce Gusto energy-saving machines, to achieve similar reductions;
- by providing our customers with information and solutions to reduce their own environmental impact.
As one aspect of our ultimate ambition to offer products with the best environmental footprint compared to alternative products, including those made in the home, we undertook a major climate change study with strategy consultancy SustainAbility and integrated the conclusions into our established management processes.
