Nathalie Kelley Instagram – Over 70% of Nestlé’s emissions come from agricultural activities and their climate plan is filled with empty promises:
🚩 Instead of aiming to reduce production of foods based on dairy, meat and other highly-emitting agricultural commodities, Nestlé plans to increase sales by two-thirds between 2020 and 2030.
🚩 Planting trees seems to be Nestlés main tactic to offset emissions, but to achieve its target of net-zero by 2050 they would have to plant trees in at least 4.4 million hectares of land yearly — that’s more than the size of their home-country, Switzerland.
🚩 Nestlé has committed $1.2 billion dollars to promote “regenerative agriculture practices” — but that’s a meagre 1.5% of what it pays its shareholders in dividends.
🚩 There is no clear outline on how suppliers will transition to regenerative practices or who will pay for that to happen.
Many organisations profiting off extractive and exploitative practices are appropriating Indigenous knowledge to greewash their brand image. Their sole intention is to capitalise on the crisis. We must come together to hold them all accountable.
Thank you for the video @extremehangout and for hosting space for @natkelley to question Nestlé’s claims. | Posted on 13/Mar/2023 06:53:54
