Nestlé is planting 10 million trees in Australia, a project which is part of Nestlé’s Global Reforestation Program aiming to plant and grow 200 million trees globally by 2030.
Establishing 10 million trees in Australia, a biodiverse mix of native species, will support Nestlé’s ambition to capture approximately 1.9 million tonnes of CO2 over a 25-year carbon crediting period. Averaged over the project lifetime, it’s equivalent to exhaust emissions from more than 22,000 cars driving each year.
Under this partnership – Greening Australia, One Tree Planted and Canopy – the trees will be monitored across 28 years as they reach maturity, delivering long-term environmental and economic benefits.
Working in collaboration with local landholders and communities, Nestlé is planting 10 million trees in Australia which will help restore local biodiversity, improve water quality and enhance degraded soils. Trees will be planted in locations linked to regional areas where Nestlé sources its raw materials.
the reforestation initiative is a promising nature-based step on a regeneration journey, working to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, outlined in Nestlé’s Net Zero Roadmap.
