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. That is why we welcome the development of the Global Standard on Climate Responsible Lobbying and use it to guide our annual Nestlé Climate Advocacy Industry Associations Review (pdf, 4Mb) disclosure. This includes:
- Our advocacy priorities on climate
- Nestlé S.A.'s main industry association memberships and an assessment of how far their positions are aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement
- Our process for addressing misalignments
- Nestlé's climate legislative advocacy guidance that helps equip our teams
- Our governance structure for climate advocacy activities
- Links to other public disclosures of Nestlé's climate advocacy activities
- Examples of Nestlé's global and regional climate advocacy activities
Setting a clear agenda on climate
As set out in Nestlé's Net Zero Roadmap (pdf, 8Mb), we will continue to advocate for ambitious government policies and private-sector leadership to ensure all sectors move more quickly towards rapid and sustained reductions in carbon emissions. Our focus areas are:
• Encouraging more regenerative forms of agricultural production
• Ending deforestation risk and supporting forest positive restoration
• Enabling more sustainable logistics
• Supporting the rollout of renewable electricity and energy
• Improving consumer communications and claims
• Advocating for higher ambitions from countries and companies and fair and clear rules for target setting and reporting progress
