NESCAFÉ plan

Our commitment

Continuously improve our green coffee supply chain

 

The NESCAFÉ Plan was initiated in 2012, as a tangible effort of how Nestlé Create Shared Value (CSV) in the coffee sector for farmers, communities and its planet and its commitment to continuously support responsible sourcing and increasingly sustainable value chains. Through the NESCAFÉ Plan, Nestlé assists in ensuring long term supply of quality green coffee by making coffee farming a more attractive activity for the present and future generations as well as improving the environmental footprint. The program encompasses three (3) major pillars:

• Farmer: Improve the livelihood of coffee farmers/ their families/the workers.
• Community: Enable resilience and prosperity of farming communities across our value chain
• Planet: The sustainable management of landscapes linked to our value chain.

Through the NESCAFÉ Plan Nestlé India engages over 5,000 farmers. It works towards improving their livelihoods, build and strengthen community resilience, and environmental management. The NESCAFÉ Plan exemplifies Creating Shared Value (CSV) in the coffee sector for farmers, communities and our planet. The NESCAFÉ Plan engages coffee farmers to ensure long term supply of quality green coffee and make coffee farming a more attractive and sustainable activity for the present and future generations.

Since the beginning, Nestlé India has worked collaboratively with other institutions like Coffee Board of India, Research Institutes, Agricultural universities etc., to improve coffee farming, now engaging with 5,000+ farmers. The project has demonstrated increase in productivity, reduced water usage, increased soil health monitoring amongst farmers and decreased use of fertilizers in coffee growing.
