Sustainability Insights

At Nestlé UK & Ireland we work with the Science Based Targets Initiative to understand our total dairy industry carbon footprint, where the big levers of change are, and the areas we need to address most urgently. A quarter of global emissions comes from food, and gases such as methane and carbon dioxide are produced at different stages of dairy farming.

Small changes such as improving equipment, tailoring menu options and optimising kitchen layouts could save the UK catering industry over a quarter of a billion pounds in energy costs every year. So bringing up a restaurant sustainability checklist of goals and achievements in weekly meetings is a good way to put these issues front of mind for the catering team.
