John, Nestlé moves up one place in the ranking and becomes the
3rd worst plastic polluter in the world!

With more than 178,000 signatures asking it to do better, we would expect
some progress, but Nestlé seems to be heading the wrong way. The good news
is that we are planning a series of actions to push the company on its
heels. 

John, [ [link removed] ]can you help us reach the symbolic mark of 200,000
signatures to multiply the impact of these actions?

Nestlé is the 4th biggest plastic polluter in the world but wants us to
believe that the environment is its priority...

No one is fooled!

Call on Nestlé to switch to reusable packaging now.

John,

Congrats to Nestlé for making it to the top 4 worst plastic polluters in
the world for the 4th year in a row!

This is mediocrity at its best for the Swiss multinational.

Nestlé has announced that it is aiming for 0 emissions, including those
linked to the production of plastics, by 2050. But as one of the biggest
planet-destroying corporations, this isn’t nearly ambitious enough to stop
catastrophic climate change.

If Nestlé wants to be credible, the company must act now!

[ [link removed] ]Tell Nestlé to reduce packaging and replace all its plastic packaging
with reusable ones by 2025.

It's the Break Free from Plastic Alliance that identified Nestlé as one of
the world's biggest plastic polluters. For months, thousands of volunteers
collected plastic waste in parks, on beaches, in forests, in cities...
They were able to identify the brands behind the plastic pollution.

Nestlé pollutes our planet with plastic waste that kills marine and
terrestrial animals by trapping them and making them sick.

But by producing this plastic packaging, Nestlé is also directly polluting
the environment. Nestlé's plastic is produced from plastic resin by
petrochemical companies such as Exxon, Total, Aramco or Shell. The process
of manufacturing plastic, as well as the extraction of the raw materials
for it, releases gargantuan amounts of CO2.

While Nestlé has set a goal to end carbon emissions, the IPCC report
predicts unprecedented climate chaos in 2050 if nothing is done in the
next three years. Worse, a report by the Breakthrough-National Centre for
Climate Restoration based on a more pessimistic model, simply forecasts
the end of civilization in 2050 if nothing is done in the coming years.

This climate carnage must stop now!

[ [link removed] ]Call on Nestlé to use reusable packaging in order to reach its zero
emissions target by 2035.

Last spring, hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members like you pushed BNP
to set more ambitious targets for ending deforestation, and we won! And in
2020, we pushed Apple to adopt a more ambitious human rights policy.

Will you help rally again to push Nestlé to do the right thing for our
planet?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll ask Nestlé to commit to only manufacture and use reusable
packaging by 2025.

Thanks for all that you do,
Ibrahim and the team at SumOfUs
