Sustainability is about doing
It’s not enough to simply talk about a sustainable future. It’s about taking real steps to get there, like:
Empowering farmers and their communities, and supplying them with the right tools to grow sustainability
A plan for the planet
In August 2010, we launched the Nescafé Plan, a project that reinforces Nestlé's commitments to the sustainable cultivation, production and consumption of coffee. The Nescafé Plan is a series of objectives that will help optimize our coffee supply chain
“Grown Respectfully” to grow sustainably.
Local farmers are the soul of quality coffee. Unfortunately, conditions like climate change, plant disease and rural exodus have threatened their community’s livelihood. Grown Respectfully puts farmers first
300 M
euros invested in sustainability projects in the last decade
This has helped carve a path for new technology and tools designed to sustain coffee production and enrich the lives of farmers and their communities.
100.000
farmers have been trained on how to operate sustainably
Together with the Rainforest Alliance, we created the Nescafé Better Farming Practices, a global reference document for training coffee farmers.
300
agricultural advisors work directly with coffee farmers around the world
Our Farmer Connect program puts us in constant contact with farmers and their cooperatives.
200 M
more resistant and profitable coffee plants
will be supplied to Nestle coffee farmers by the end of this year.
We will provide Nestlé coffee farmers with 220 milion more resistant and profitable coffee plants by the end of this year.
Strong partners make us stronger
In life, and in coffee procurement
COFFEE ASSURANCE ALLIANCE
Our partnership with Coffee Assurance Services (CAS) ensures that our coffee is sourced responsibly and in compliance with the internationally recognized 4C code for sustainable coffee production.
THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE
The Rainforest Alliance is a strategic partner for us as we continue to expand our “Grown Respectfully” program. We jointly developed a monitoring and evaluation system so we can continuously evaluate our sustainability impact in growing regions.
90% of the world's coffee needs for NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® came from responsible procurement. Our ambition is to procure our entire coffee volume responsibly in the future.
