In 2019, Nestlé pledged to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our value chain. In 2020, in our Net Zero Roadmap, we specified our plan to halve Nestlé's GHG emissions by 2030 and to achieve net zero by 2050 - even as our business continues to grow.

As more than 95% of our emissions occur outside of our own four walls, we cannot achieve net zero alone. To meet our pledge, we depend on multiple external factors including action from governments and regulators to enable economic and social transformations for a net zero carbon future.

This report describes how climate change may impact our business and how we can successfully transition to a lower-carbon economy and adapt to a warming world. Our understanding of the challenges around climate change continues to evolve and we will update our mitigation

plans accordingly.

Nestlé has adopted the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Using the TCFD framework, this report provides a progress update across each of the TCFD pillars: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets. It sets out our current understanding of the strength and resilience of our strategy and business model under different climate scenarios.

The process of climate scenario analysis is rapidly evolving, and it is iterative. We expect the approaches, tools and data quality to mature over time, which will contribute to our understanding of climate risks and opportunities. As we continue to accelerate the transformation of our value chain, these assessments will be integrated into our strategic planning and enterprise risk management frameworks to help strengthen our resilience and adaptation to climate change.
