Nestlé is implementing a plan to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. As the world’s largest food and beverage company, 95 percent of its emissions are derived from activities in the supply chain, said Daniel Peerless, Nestlé Global’s sustainable-sourcing lead for dairy, meat, poultry and eggs. Looking deeper, 71 percent of its emissions are from sourcing ingredients. Dairy and livestock ingredients account for the single-largest source of emissions at 34.2 million tons in 2018.
