Looking back, Nestlé's total emissions have shown a downward trend, decreasing from approximately 93.81 billion kg CO2e in 2021 to 69.04 billion kg CO2e in 2025.

Nestlé has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050 from a 2018 base year. Near-term Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, verified for Nestlé S.A., include reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 50.4% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. Additionally, Nestlé targets a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2018 base year, a long-term net-zero target. The company also commits to increasing annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 33.4% in 2018 to 100% by 2025 through 2030. Furthermore, Nestlé aims for no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by 2025.

In 2023, Nestlé achieved a 33.19% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions against its 2018 baseline, driven by increased renewable energy use and energy efficiency measures in manufacturing facilities. The company also targets a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 and 50% by 2030 from 2018 levels, on its path to net zero by 2050 at the latest. Nestlé Waters' signature brands are committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2022, with the rest of Nestlé Waters aiming for the same by 2025.
