Nestle has set ambitious targets for decarbonising its entire global supply chain. It’s a tough challenge – The supply chain is long  and complex and includes everything from agriculture to manufacturing to warehousing to distribution to the end-user and much more.

And its not just the supply chain: Nestle itself is enormous with over 339,00 employees, 442 factories in 86 countries and a world-wide distribution networks providing over $130b in sales. Decarbonising is no easy task.
