NESCAFÉ® Plan 2030: Sustainable Use of Natural Resources

The NESCAFÉ® Plan 2030 embodies our dedication to fostering sustainability across our coffee supply chain. From empowering coffee farmers to reducing the environmental footprint of our operations, this initiative represents our unwavering commitment to building a more sustainable future.

 

Nestlé Milk Plan in partnership with First Milk: Higher Animal Welfare in Foodservice

In 2003, we established our relationship with First Milk, the farmer-owned dairy co-operative based in Ayrshire and Cumbria. Through the partnership, we work with 85 farmers in the dairy operative across Cumbria and Ayrshire to provide high-quality fresh milk for brands such as KitKat and NESCAFÉ® Frothy Coffee.

Our goal, and that of First Milk, is to lessen environmental impact by improving the sustainability and efficiency of the supply chain. Each farmer receives a ’sustainability bonus’ for taking practical measures that protect and enhance natural assets on their land


Celebrating Sustainability at Nestlé Professional

Winning the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources award is a tremendous honour. It underscores our dedication to making a positive impact on the environment and supporting the communities we serve.
