Nestlé has defined its global roadmap to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The phased approach aims to halve the company’s emissions by 2030 and realize net-zero by 2050. To accomplish this, Nestlé will accelerate current initiatives, evolve its operations, and uncover ways to balance remaining emissions through high-quality carbon removal projects or innovation. Nestlé is one of the first signatories of the UN ‘Business Ambition for 1.5°C’ pledge,’ and will provide annual updates to provide transparency on its progress.
“We are striving for a more sustainable future, towards a healthier planet, a stronger society and a thriving economy,” said Steve Presley, Chairman and CEO of Nestlé USA. “That’s why we are building on our existing work to set ambitious goals that will make a real difference, and why we continue to look for new and innovative ways to achieve them in our market.
As part of the global effort, the company announced new commitments and projects in the U.S., Nestlé’s largest market, to accelerate its path towards a sustainable future and net-zero emissions. The company is reimagining aspects of its U.S. business, from the ingredients that it uses, to the packaging that keeps its food and beverages safe, to how it makes and transports its products.
