Biodiversity Nestlé’s No Deforestation commitment
• Destruction of tropical rainforests and peatlands to cultivate
crops such as palm oil is one of the most serious
environmental issues facing us today.
• Estimate: rainforest destruction contributes to around 20% of
greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels are a significant factor.
Action taken in 2010
• Commitment to ensure that our products do not have a
deforestation impact
• Partnership with The Forest Trust (TFT) to eliminate
deforestation from our supply chain.

Overlaying our supply chain
with maps of where deforestation
is happening and where it will be
going next
Definitions of deforestation
E.g. if definition is 30% canopy
cover, what action to take when?
• If canopy cover 30%29%?
• If canopy cover 100% 30%?
In summary
• Deforestation is an important issue for a consumer goods
company like Nestlé
• Nestlé actively intervenes in the supply chain based on
Responsible Sourcing Guidelines (for cross-cutting issues
and specific categories)
• Working closely with suppliers to make them part of the
transformation process
• Many challenges ahead, but we are making progress
