RE: Meat and dairy industries methane emissions

The Changing Markets Foundation and partner organisations call on Nestlé to address its methane emissions, noting that the company does not separately report methane from its supply chains. The letter references a report finding that 15 major meat and dairy companies emit roughly 12.8 million tonnes of methane, and recommends that Nestlé set absolute emissions reduction targets aligned with a 1.5°C limit, reduce animal numbers in its supply chains, and implement a just transition plan for farmers and workers.

• A report by Changing Markets and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy found that 15 of the largest meat and dairy companies collectively emit approximately 12.8 million tonnes of methane, representing 11.1% of livestock-related methane globally and over 80% of the European Union's total methane footprint.
• The 'Emissions Impossible: Methane Edition' report indicates a lack of transparency in the industry, as none of the 15 companies examined disclose methane emissions from their supply chains, and only nine of the 15 report any level of overall greenhouse gas emissions.
