Our Priorities
From championing sustainability to re-imagining packaging,
we are committed to innovating for a better tomorrow.
Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative agriculture plays a critical role in improving soil health, restoring water cycles and increasing biodiversity for the long term. Taking a farmer-centric approach, we are piloting and scaling new technologies and nature-based solutions to tackle this challenge.
Plant-Based Products
We are transforming our portfolio to include more plant-based meat and dairy alternatives that are both healthy and delicious. These products reduce emissions across the value chain, driving us towards a more sustainable food system.
Packaging and Circularity
We are changing the way we think about the value chain from a linear path to a circular one. Through advanced packaging R&D and key partnerships, we are working towards our commitment for all of our packaging to be recyclable or reusable by 2025.
Affordable Nutrition
Making affordable, nutritious and tasty food accessible to everyone is a priority for Nestlé. We leverage our R&D expertise to develop food innovations that cost less without sacrificing nutrition or taste, so that lower-income families can afford to nourish themselves.
