Contributing to the global goals
Our efforts support the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
In 2015, the UN launched 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation and peace and justice.
We continue to work hard so that our business contributes to these goals. We monitor and report transparently on our progress.

Regenerative agriculture
In line with the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform, Nestlé defines regenerative agriculture as an approach to farming which aims to conserve and restore natural resources, primarily soil, as well as water and biodiversity, while capturing carbon in soils and plant biomass, and to support farmers’ livelihoods. Examples of regenerative agriculture practices include reduced tillage and agroforestry. More information is available in our Nestlé Agriculture Framework (pdf, 19Mb).
