The Nescafé Plan
Our commitment
Continuously improve our green
coffee supply chain
We have modified the wording of our coffee commitment to
include the work of Nespresso. For added clarity, our
objectives now specify the areas covered by Nescafé and
those covered by Nespresso.
Our objectives
By 2020 – Nescafé to source 90 000 tonnes of coffee
that is compliant with the Sustainable Agriculture
Network principles.
Nestlé is also committed to reducing energy and water
usage in our factories. Within our Nescafé Plan, we have
specific targets to reduce the energy and water used in the
production process:
• By 2020, reduce the energy used per tonne of soluble
coffee by 20% versus 2010 levels; and
• By 2020, reduce the water used per tonne of soluble coffee
by 30% versus 2010 levels.
In the last four years, we have reduced energy usage by 11%
and water usage by 32%.

The Nescafé Plan is a global initiative bringing together our
commitments and activities developed to support the
responsible farming, production, supply and consumption of
coffee. The Nescafé Plan has been rolled out in several
countries since it started, and was active across 19 countries
in 2015. The Nescafé Plan is designed to positively influence
the value chains so that coffee farmers:
• Become more efficient and produce better-quality coffee;
• Ensure compliance with 4C Association’s Code of Conduct
(see below) and the principles of SAN (an international
coalition of leading conservation groups in sustainable
agriculture, with standards for environmental protection,
social responsibility and economic vitality); and
• Improve their environmental and social footprints, leading
to better living conditions.
Within these activities, there are specific efforts to empower
women and young people to become leaders in the
coffee sector.
We will continue to procure Responsibly Sourced green
coffee and invest in CSV initiatives aimed at promoting
continuous improvements for coffee farmers participating in
our value chains.

The focus on good agricultural practices will continue,
delivered in many origin countries via training and assistance
through our global partnership with the Rainforest Alliance and
actively supported by plant science research undertaken by
our R&D Centre in Tours, France. These practices are also
reflected in our RSG and specific requirements for coffee,
which apply to all countries where we source green coffee.
