Nescafé, a brand under Nestlé, has made significant strides in sustainability by exceeding its 2025 goal for sourcing coffee through regenerative agriculture. As of 2024, it has achieved 32% of its coffee sourced this way, surpassing its original target of 30%. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to reach 50% by 2030 and contribute to Nestlé's net-zero emissions goals.
• Nescafé has invested over $1 billion in farmer training and eco-friendly practices.
• More than 200,000 farmers have learned regenerative techniques, improving soil health and crop resilience.
• The shift to regenerative agriculture has led to a 20% to 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of coffee.
• Nescafé aims to further lower emissions from coffee production by 50% by 2030.
This progress is crucial as agriculture accounts for a significant portion of global emissions. Nescafé's efforts not only support farmers but also align with rising consumer demand for sustainable products. As the coffee industry evolves, Nescafé is setting new standards for environmental responsibility and long-term business viability.
