Addressing Nestlé's corporate website carbon footprint
Climate change is one of society's greatest challenges. It is also one of the greatest risks to the future of our business and we are working towards net zero in our business and supply chains.
Why we care about improving the efficiency of Nestlé's digital ecosystem
To host our websites, Nestlé uses servers that consume energy to run and provide users with access to images, videos and text. Energy is also required to view and download content.
Using devices to access the internet is such a day-to-day activity, many of us don't think about the fact it generates greenhouse gas emissions. With over 70 corporate websites, changes we make to improve the energy efficiency of our digital assets can help reduce emissions.
What improvements are we making to our Nestlé corporate websites
Since 2021, we've worked to ensure any improvements to Nestlé's corporate websites use principles that take into account their footprint. This includes:
Improved performance
To enhance the performance of our websites, we are implementing effective caching strategies and improving page speed. This means reducing the size of our images and PDFs, therefore reducing page load time and the energy use required. At the same time, we must ensure any imagery and videos used on our sites resonate with the messaging on the page and serve a purpose. We want to provide users with a faster and more seamless browsing experience, optimizing energy use along the way.
Structure & user journey
We are regularly revamping the different sections of our Nestlé corporate websites to create a more intuitive and efficient user journey. We're simplifying the navigation, creating better cross-linking, improving our internal search functionality, and improving filters. All of these actions help our audiences to quickly find the information they are seeking, therefore reducing time spent on site, and ultimately, reducing energy usage.
Optimizing content
We regularly review our website data to identify further ways of improving our content. For example, by adding the relevant keywords that our users are searching for, content can be found more easily in a search engine. If our audiences spend less time searching, less energy will be required.
Dark mode
Dark mode provides users with the flexibility to choose between light and dark themes. Using a 'dark' mode allows users to reduce power consumption on devices with OLED or AMOLED screens. Dark mode is also more accessible and offers many users an enhanced browsing experience.
Measurement
We are working on a measurement model to accurately estimate our carbon footprint across the entire Nestlé digital ecosystem. We are developing a robust approach that encompasses various aspects, covering hosting, design and development partners. We wish to build a comprehensive understanding of our impact and how the various actions outlined above can help us address it.
Will it affect how our audiences use our websites?
The changes we are making to reduce our digital carbon footprint will have a positive impact on SEO, accessibility and making the user journey more streamlined, so overall it should improve the user experience as well as energy use.

Generation Regeneration
We're striving to co-create a resilient future for our planet and its people. That’s why we are making a promise to advance regenerative food systems at scale.
Climate change and environmental threats such as the degradation of forests, land, soil and waterways are impacting farmers and communities. These threats put farmer livelihoods at risk and jeopardize the accessibility and availability of quality food.
We must help protect and restore our planet's resources. This requires a transformative change.
That is why Nestlé is embarking on a journey toward regeneration; to help protect, renew and restore the environment, improve the livelihoods of farmers and enhance the resilience and well-being of communities and our consumers.
We believe each and every one of us has a role to play in helping protect our future. Whatever your age, gender, nationality or background – together, we can all make a difference. Both today and for generations to come.
Regenerative agriculture is our first step, but we’re not stopping there.
To learn more about how we’re optimizing our operations, how are brands are making a difference and commitment from our employees, check out the CSV Snapshot 2021/2022.

Our global Maternity Protection Policy (pdf, 1 Mb) is one of the most progressive programmes of its kind in the industry. It includes maternity protection for all primary caregivers of newborns, including fathers and adoptive parents. This means at least 14 weeks’ paid maternity leave and the right to extend leave up to 6 months. The policy covers employment protection and non-discrimination, a healthy and breastfeeding-friendly work environment, and flexible work arrangements.
In addition to 6 months’ maternity leave, flexitime and breastfeeding breaks, we’ve provided over 302 breastfeeding sites in our workplaces around the world. By 2018, we’ll have equipped all offices and sites of more.
Dual careers are increasingly becoming the family working norm. They could be local or expatriate, and they may have to make compromises from time to time, but we do our best to facilitate joint career moves where we can.
Nestlé With other multinationals has launched the International Dual Career Network (IDCN) to help dual career spouses with their local job search and professional integration in a new country. With several locations around the world, the IDCN also provides advice, connections and support. More information about IDCN.
