Nestlé also reduced the weight of packaging by using recyclable or reusable materials, which also reduced our energy consumption.

We are taking part in the setting up of waste collection and sorting systems and are constantly seeking solutions to reduce the impact of logistics on the environment.

Our transport policy has been optimised by reducing the number of trucks in the development of road-rail transport.
