The Nestlé Sustainable Sourcing Programme (SSP), co-coordinated by Fundación Global Nature (FGN) and the Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN), celebrated an “all-partners meeting” last month at Nestlé's offices in Vevey, Switzerland. This event gathered nearly 100 people from 14 countries, representing Nestlé, the Programme's implementing organizations and participating supplier companies.

“O Programa de Fornecimento Sustentável é fundamental para fornecedores porque apoia a sua melhoria nas práticas sociais e ambientais, tornando-os, portanto, mais resilientes às alterações climáticas e às novas legislações; é fundamental para as compras da Nestlé, porque ajuda a apoiar e recompensar fornecedores que podem ajudar melhor a cumprir os compromissos relacionados com a sustentabilidade da Nestlé; e é essencial para o mundo, porque garante a estabilidade da cadeia de abastecimento alimentar e reduz a pressão negativa da agricultura sobre os recursos naturais e a saúde humana.”

Alain Nguyen, líder global de sourcing sustentável na Nestlé

The gathering was an opportunity to reflect on the Programme's evolution since it started back in 2018, highlighting the main initiatives deployed and the impact achieved. It was also a day of recognition for the work and dedication of the suppliers who have been engaged in the Programme over the years, demonstrating a long-term commitment to the Programme's climate, regen-ag and human rights objectives.

Nestlé has committed over 12.4 million euro under the Sustainable Sourcing Programme (SSP) in the past three years, engaging with 33 supplier companies in 10 countries to advance regenerative agriculture and enhance farmer communities' livelihoods. The SSP has benefited in average 1,200 farmers per year during the past five years; only in 2022 and 2023, the supplier companies have implemented over 500 field interventions in 6,500 hectares to enhance in-farm biodiversity.
