Tackling climate change
We will halve our GHG emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. It means that we will drastically reduce our GHG emissions and remove the remaining emissions from the atmosphere.
We have already put peak carbon emissionsbehind us. In 2021, we implemented projects that led to reductions of 0,8 million tons of CO₂. We also contributed to replant 6.74 million shade trees in our coffee sourcing locations, which will sequester 2.5 million tons of CO₂ over their lifetime.
Our detailed roadmap covers the emissions along our value chain, from agriculture, manufacturing, packaging to transport:

Full packaging circularity
Nestlé will not reach net zero GHG emissions by 2050 without making its packaging more sustainable. We havecommittedto make 100% of our packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025 and to reduce the use of virgin plastics by one-third in the same period.
Moving to regenerative agriculture
We are working directly with 500.000 farmers on more than 300 regeneration projects in 40 countries across the globe. We will continue to train and collaborate with farmers and cooperatives to deploy sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices. By 2030, 50% of our key agricultural materials will be produced using regenerative farming practices (4 million tons of ingredients). A total of 3.2 billion euros will be invested over the next five years to accelerate Nestle's Net Zero climate progress, including 1.15 billion euros to spark regenerative agriculture across our supply chain.
Regenerating local water cycles
Nestlé wants to lead the regeneration of local water cyclesthrough more than 100 projects around the world by 2025. This initiative seeks to help create a positive water impact, by allowing local watersheds to capture more water than our business uses in its operations. Overall, we will invest 115 million euros in local programs in support of this commitment. In addition we are progressing on certifying all our water bottling sites to the international Alliance for Water Stewardship's standard on sustainable water managementby 2025.
