Nestle's reported carbon emissions

Nestlé, headquartered in CH and operating within the research and development services (73) industry, has set ambitious targets for emissions reduction and achieving net-zero by 2050. In 2025, Nestlé reported total emissions of approximately 69.04 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 2.82 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 220 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 66.01 billion kg CO2e. Within Scope 3, purchased goods and services were the largest contributor, accounting for approximately 56.43 billion kg CO2e. Nestlé's climate commitments include achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2050. This goal is supported by near-term targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute GHG emissions by 20% by 2025 and 50% by 2030, relative to a 2018 baseline. The company also aims to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2025. Nestlé has also set a target to reduce absolute Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, with a commitment to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by 2025. In 2023, Nestlé reported a 33.19% reduction in combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to the 2018 baseline, attributed to increased use of renewable energy in manufacturing facilities and energy efficiency measures. The company's emissions have shown a downward trend from 2010 to 2025, with total emissions decreasing from approximately 104.35 billion kg CO2e in 2020 to about 69.04 billion kg CO2e in 2025.
