Nestlé’s South African dairy farm, factory exemplifiers of group’s sustainability goals

As Swiss multinational food and drink processing conglomerate Nestlé’s seeks to reach its ambitious global target of waste-free operations and net-zero emissions by 2050, two of the group’s South African businesses – the Skimmelkrans dairy farm and the Mossel Bay dairy factory  – stand as testament to the progress that it is making towards these goals. The sustainability initiatives being undertaken at these operations were outlined during a site visit on June 20, intended to showcase the group’s “farm to glass journey” of dairy. It also formed part of Nestlé’s World Milk Day celebrations, which the group is undertaking this month in commemoration of this international day, which is observed on June 1.
