Taking a stand
Nature is in danger – and time is running out. We need to completely transform the system and regenerate nature.
This issue relates to the following Sustainable Development Goals
Let’s help nature flourish
Let’s help nature flourish
For too long the true value of nature has been overlooked.
We know that without nature we have no business. So we’ve set a bold ambition to eliminate deforestation in our palm oil, paper and board, tea, soy and cocoa supply chains, and to protect and regenerate land, forests and oceans.
Our brands are taking a stand on nature. And we’re increasing transparency, using technology and introducing leading edge regenerative farming practices to tackle the ecological emergency.
We can’t do this alone. We’re working with our partners, suppliers and smallholder farmers around the world to drive the systemic change that’s needed to protect – and regenerate – the natural world.
Strategy and goals
If we want to have a healthy planet, we must look after nature: forests, soil and water.

Zero deforestation
We’re working – both within our business and with others outside it – to eliminate deforestation from our supply chain, support human rights and tackle climate change.
Regenerating nature
We’re pioneering an ambitious approach to restore the health of our planet, both in our supply chain and beyond.
Sustainable palm oil
Our ambition is to make sustainable palm oil commonplace. To achieve this, we’re stepping up our work with partners to create a deforestation-free supply chain by 2023.
Sustainable and regenerative sourcing
We're working with farmers and suppliers to drive up social and environmental standards in our supply chain.
Empowering smallholder farmers
We're working with farmers and suppliers to drive up social and environmental standards in our supply chain.
Water stewardship
There’s no doubt that climate change is increasing water stress in communities – and this will worsen. This means changing our products and taking radical action in partnership with local communities to preserve water.
Protecting biodiversity and regenerating nature
We have set out a range of ambitious actions to fight climate change and protect our natural ecosystems.
Farm animal welfare
More and more people are concerned about animal welfare – and it’s a topic we take seriously.
