Nestle switches to 100% renewable electricity in Australia
Purina and other Nestlé brands in Australia will be manufactured at factories where 100% of the electricity is sourced from wind power.
Nestlé has a global target to switch to 100% renewable energy by 2025. This recent move comes four years ahead of it.
The switch to 100 per cent renewable electricity in Australia will mean Nestlé will avoid around 73,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
“Achieving our sustainability commitments as we progress towards 2050 can’t wait, and neither can we. I am proud that we’ve been able to accelerate switching to 100 per cent renewable electricity for our sites, but there’s still more to be done. This is one more step on our roadmap,” said Nestlé Oceania CEO Sandra Martinez.
“This means that when Aussies are enjoying Nestlé products made in our Australian factories, they can do so knowing that it is made by electricity that has been renewably sourced. This builds on the work we are already doing to rethink our packaging, build sustainable supply chains, drive carbon neutral brands and transform our product portfolio with more plant-based foods and drinks.”
