BiodiversityNestlé’s No Deforestation commitment
• Destruction of tropical rainforests and peatlands to cultivate crops such as palm oil is one of the most serious environmental issues facing us today.
• Estimate: rainforest destruction contributes to around 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels are a significant factor.
Action taken in 2010
• Commitment to ensure that our products do not have a deforestation impact
• Partnership with The Forest Trust (TFT) to eliminate deforestation from our supply chain.
