Nestlé Quits Global Alliance on Reducing Dairy Methane Emissions
Nestle leaves the alliance but pledges to cut dairy methane emissions and halve climate pollution by 2030, while the group now includes 10 companies including Starbucks, officials said.
- Nestle announced today that it has withdrawn from the Dairy Methane Action Alliance, a global initiative to reduce emissions from dairy farming.
- The company’s exit comes after previously joining the Dairy Methane Action Alliance, which was formed during the UN climate summit held in Dubai in December 2023 to tackle methane emissions associated with dairy production.
- Nestle's logo vanished from the initiative's website last month, and officials confirmed the company had discontinued its membership while declining to provide further details.
- By late 2024, Nestle reported its overall methane emissions had fallen by nearly 21% compared to 2018, but it did not separately disclose figures for its dairy operations.
- Ten companies remain in the alliance, though it remains uncertain whether Nestle's exit will affect the commitment of the other members.
