Nestlé has announced that it aims to plant 10 million trees in Australia by 2025 at the COP27 Biodiversity Day. The company is embarking on this project in partnership with Greening Australia, Canopy and One Tree Planted.
It is part of Nestlé’s Global Reforestation Program, which aims to plant and grow 200 million trees by 2030. The program is part of the company’s actions to scale up regenerative agriculture and deploy natural climate solutions to absorb greenhouse gases, contributing to its net zero target by 2050.
Planting the 10 million trees will sequester an estimated 2.1 million tonnes of CO2 over a 25-year carbon crediting period. Averaged over the project lifetime, this is equivalent to fuel emissions from more than 25,000 cars each year.
