Our net zero roadmap

2018–2021: Our path to regeneration for future generations

Diagram showing our net zero roadmap: 2018-2021

Solving the problem means identifying the problem. We found Nestlé emitted 92 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2018*. Now we know the extent, we know the road ahead.

Companies and their emissions grow over time. That’s why we’re promising to be net zero based on our 2018 baseline, no matter how much our company grows.

At Nestlé Canada, we know that plastic pollution is a global challenge that requires immediate action and we commend the Canadian government for taking steps to minimize the impact of single-use plastics on our environment.

We are working hard to eliminate non-recyclable plastics from our brands and will continue to work with our industry associations and the government on solutions that will help ensure that none of our product packaging, including plastics, ends up in the landfill or as litter, including in seas, oceans and waterways.

To achieve this, our ambition is that 100% of our packaging is reusable or recyclable by 2025. We are also working with value chain partners and industry associations to explore different packaging solutions to reduce plastic usage and develop new approaches to eliminating plastic waste.

Working with others, we can improve plastic recycling and collection rates. As such, we support the development of an effective and harmonized recycling system.

We remain strongly committed to minimizing the impact Nestlé has on the natural environment, including ensuring recycling or reuse of our packaging and look forward to being an active participant in discussions toward solutions.

 

Today, we’re celebrating Global Recycling Day – a day for the world to come together to recognize the importance that recycling plays in preserving our primary resources. At Nestlé Canada, we are proud to celebrate our achievements to date and know that we have a huge opportunity to actually make an even bigger, more significant impact.

As a company, we aren’t just talking about working to make this world a better place, we’re making strides. Globally, we have a vision to achieve a waste-free future and have outlined a series of specific actions towards making 100% of our packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025.

In Canada, this means we’ve taken fast action to map out our full packaging spectrum and identify where we have packaging that isn’t recyclable or reusable and develop an action plan to help us get there. We know that we can’t just do this alone. That’s why, we’re talking to our suppliers about material options that provide similar attributes and our next phase is to start testing them to ensure high quality for our consumers. And for formats where options don’t currently exist, we’ve started researching to see what’s possible.

We’re fortunate in Canada to have a fairly strong recycling system, but it’s inconsistent across the country. This is where we’re stepping up to help re-design our municipal, provincial and federal systems to be far more effective in truly eliminating waste. This is a top priority for us; and one which can result in fundamental change.

Together, we can – and will – make a difference. To learn more about how we’re taking a leadership role to ensure we all get to a better place, click here
