Nestlé has been recognized for engaging its suppliers to tackle climate, water and forest-related risks in its supply chain and has been acclaimed as a “world leader” in tackling climate change in its supply chain.

For the second year in a row, the international not-for-profit CDP has included Nestlé in its supplier engagement leaderboard. CDP focuses investors, companies and cities on taking urgent action to build a truly sustainable economy by measuring and understanding their environmental impact.

Nestlé is one of 58 companies included out of a total of 3,300 assessed, putting it among just 2 percent awarded a place.

The Swiss transnational food and drink company has committed to showing climate change leadership as part of its goal of enhancing the quality of life and contributing to a healthier future.

Other “supplier engagement leaders” from the food and beverage industry include Coca-Cola, Kellogg, Unilever and Ajinomoto, while other recognized corporations came from the auto, financial and tech industries.
