What is Nestlé doing to ensure palm oil is sourced sustainably?
For more than 10 years, Nestlé has been using a combination of tools, including supply chain mapping, certification, satellite monitoring and on-the-ground assessments, to assess and address deforestation risks in our supply chains and improve our understanding of human rights and land rights risks. The results help us identify landscape-level initiatives that can be duplicated for other raw materials
What progress has Nestlé made towards sustainable palm oil production?
During 2023, 100% of our crude palm oil volume was from Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certified sources.
