Our Results

What we say

We believe our operations should be environmentally sustainable and efficient. This means reducing our direct impact on the environment, identifying and managing climate change and water risks across our business and, uniquely, working alongside our employees in helping them help the environment.

We also seek to take a broader stance on environmental issues, including working with the communities within which
we operate on community environmental projects (see the Community section of our CSV Report for more details).

Our actions are guided by the Nestlé Oceania Environment Policy which was first developed in 2003 and reviewed
and updated in 2008.
