Promoting environmental sustainability
in agriculture
We are an active member of a number of associations,
organisations and industry-wide initiatives that promote
environmentally sustainable agricultural practices. These
include:
• The Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) Platform
– we continue to support the water, coffee, dairy, meat, and
fruit and vegetables working groups within this industry
organisation;
• The 4C Association – we co-chair this multi-stakeholder
organisation, which promotes the Common Code for the
Coffee Community and addresses sustainability issues in
the coffee sector;
• The IDH Sustainable Coffee Program – a public–private
partnership seeking to extend sustainable coffee production
into mainstream markets and increase sustainable green
coffee sales to 25% in 2015;
• The UNGC Food and Agriculture Business Principles
– we are a founding participant of the UNGC’s principles
and were involved in their launch in 2014; and
• The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) – our commitment
on no deforestation aligns with the CGF’s goal to achieve
zero net deforestation by 2020, mobilising resources
through individual member company initiatives and
collaborative partnerships with governments and NGOs.
We continually look to strengthen these partnerships and
explore new opportunities, as well as extend our own
Responsible Sourcing activities and initiatives such as the
Nescafé Plan and the Nestlé Cocoa Plan.
