Our approach to nature, biodiversity and the environment
Helping to protect and restore biodiversity in our supply chains and operations
The global food system, nature and climate change are intrinsically linked. Our approach includes strategies that can help protect and restore biodiversity, empower communities and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, even as we continue to grow.
Supporting nature to address climate change
The conversion of natural landscapes for ingredients in our supply chain is among the main contributors of greenhouse gas emissions.
We are working to help safeguard natural resources, in particular forests, which support much of the planet’s biodiversity. We do this through our Forest Positive strategy which sets out our aims to source commodities that are assessed deforestation-free as well as how we should engage Indigenous peoples and local communities as the best stewards of biodiverse lands, in many regions of the world. Our Global Reforestation Program supports landscape initiatives in our sourcing locations.
To help further strengthen biodiversity, water resources and soil health, we support scaling up regenerative agricultural practices, supported by The Nestlé Agriculture Framework.
