Nestlé emerges as the industry leader in the realm of coffee sustainability strategy
development, goal-setting, investments and reporting. The company distinguishes itself by its cohesive and comprehensive coffee sustainability framework, complete with specific policies and objectives that take into account the social, environmental, and economic facets of coffee production. While Nestlé boasts an extensive portfolio of products and brands, it places notable emphasis on coffee sustainability at field level, mainly through its Nespresso AAA program and Nescafé Plan 2030. The latter is an extension of the previous Nescafé 10-year sustainability plan, which concluded in 2020. Nestlé’s updated sustainability plans are set to further refine its strategies concerning climate change and forest conservation. Nestlé stands to gain the most from heightened transparency in its purchasing practices reporting and an increased commitment to programs and initiatives aimed at improving farmer economic viability, encompassing aspects such as profitability and living income.
