Sustainable Local Sourcing and Training on Regenerative Agriculture

Nestlé Bangladesh has designed and implemented a Roadmap to Net Zero aligning with Global Roadmap. Our key focus is reducing carbon emissions as a market on every operational level.

Sustainable Local Sourcing and Training on Regenerative Agriculture:

Nestlé Bangladesh also extensively focuses on sustainable sourcing of raw materials like rice, wheat, and spices to reduce the carbon footprint. We do not compromise on the stringent quality of our while doing so. Thus, we have trained more than 1500 farmers in Dinajpur with expert agronomists, enhancing their skills and employability with advanced scientific knowledge on cultivation. This project has also been recognized in the CSR forum of the country, bringing home the 'Best CSR project for Community Engagement 2021', organized by The Daily Star and CSR Window.

Zero Liquid Discharge Factory:

Nestlé Bangladesh's Sreepur factory is also one of the leading manufacturing sites in Bangladesh to achieve 'zero liquid discharge’. Addressing SDG no. 12, 'Responsible Consumption and Production’, every year, we religiously bring down the amount of water used in producing our products by innovations in operations and technology in our factory. As a manufacturing site, we do not expel wastewater from our production to the environment; instead, we purify it again and use it in other non-food production operations to protect the environment from the harmful effect of industrial waste.

Awareness and Training:

The company has undertaken multiple initiatives specifically targeting school-going children to raise awareness about environmental issues and to instill habits that contribute to a sustainable future. This program has already reached over 5,000 students and continues to cultivate future leaders who are more engaged in environmental sustainability.
