Nestlé set a goal to responsibly source 100% of its coffee by 2025 and accurately trace coffee back to specific farmer groups through its Nescafé Plan, according to a press release.

 

Nestlé has responsibly sourced 75% of its coffee and distributed 235 million coffee plants under the Nescafé Plan, exceeding its goal of achieving 70% responsibly sourced coffee by the end of 2020. It also met its goals of reducing direct water withdrawal by decreasing water use in factories and irrigation for coffee farming.

 

Through its Nescafé Plan, the company will also look to reduce and remove carbon emissions from coffee sourcing and throughout its operations. Nestlé will use environmentally friendly packaging to reach its 2025 packaging commitment and plans of being net-zero by 2050.
