Teaming up for climate advocacy

There's strength in numbers. We work with many different partners to undertake climate advocacy and make a positive difference.
This forms a critical part of delivering against our Net Zero Roadmap, helping to create the right frameworks and conditions for efforts to reduce emissions.
All of Nestlé's advocacy activities on climate align with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement. This includes our work related to multi-stakeholder and business only coalitions and trade associations.
We provide specific guidance to our local market teams on aligning advocacy and external engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement, applying our Policy on Transparent Interactions with Public Authorities (pdf, 2Mb).
Disclosure of our advocacy practices is important to enhance transparency and trust, we therefore make publicly available:
- Our advocacy priorities on climate
- A disclose of Nestlé S. A.'s memberships of private sector-led and multi-stakeholder coalitions related to these priorities
- Nestlé's climate legislative advocacy guidance
- Links to other public disclosures of Nestlé's advocacy activities
- Examples of our global and regional advocacy activities
