Nestlé scores 30/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Nestlé joint 587th of 809 companies scored, and 3rd of 8 in Food & Beverage (meat/dairy).
Nestlé has cut absolute emissions 18.6% since 2018 and reaches 95% renewable electricity, but relies heavily on unproven nature-based removals to hit 2030 targets. Packaging recyclability targets were quietly downgraded; greenwashing lawsuits are active. Progress is real but structural gaps remain.
