Nestle

Nestlé, headquartered in Switzerland and operating in the Other Snack Food Manufacturing industry, reported total global greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 69 billion kg CO2e for the year 2025. This includes around 2.8 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 220 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 66 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, Scope 3 purchased goods and services contributed about 56.4 billion kg CO2e, and downstream transportation and distribution accounted for approximately 7.5 billion kg CO2e in 2025.

In 2024, Nestlé's total global emissions were approximately 71.26 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 3.02 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1, 240 million kg CO2e in Scope 2 (market-based), and roughly 68 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3. Looking back to 2023, their total emissions were about 73.34 billion kg CO2e, with approximately 3.06 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1, 310 million kg CO2e in Scope 2 (market-based), and around 69.98 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3.

Nestlé has set ambitious climate commitments. The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, from a 2018 baseline year. This long-term goal is supported by near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments. Nestlé aims to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 20% by 2025 and 50% by 2030, all against a 2018 base year. For its energy and industry operations, Nestlé commits to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and specified Scope 3 emissions (including purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, waste generated in operations, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, business travel, employee commuting, and end-of-life treatment of sold products) by 50.4% by 2030 from a 2018 base year. The company also aims to increase its annual active sourcing of renewable electricity from 33.4% in 2018 to 100% by 2025, maintaining this through 2030. Furthermore, Nestlé targets a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2018 base year and commits to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by 2025. Long-term, Nestlé aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050, and a 75% reduction in absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 2050, both from a 2018 base year.
