Meeting notes:

• over 80 participants
• 2025: Emissions -25%, 8 Mio. t (considering already expected growth)
• Largest share of emissions come from ingredients à key focus partnerships with farmers
• Largest action areas: no deforestation (cocoa and coffee), Natural Climate Solutions (reforestation, regenerative agriculture), plastic&packaging, dairy & livestock, soil&forest
• systemic change by valuing true cost
• 2050 net zero: offsetting not planned, all remaining emissions will be balanced by insetting
• Recognition of demand on non-meat food, alternative protein sources
• Important point: climate-neutrality in the MENA region in general
• M&E of soil health and GHG balance on farm: looking for recommendations
• Climate labelling: rainforest alliance
• Youth considered important as game changing agents, but no implemented actions so far
• Nestlé will be private partner for UN Food Systems Summit
