Transport and distribution
In November 2009 Nestlé’s 'green fleet' initiative was awarded second prize in the International Green Fleet Award. In Europe, we reduced CO2 emissions by 17%. We’re aiming to lower CO2 emissions in North America by at least 15%.
In fact, our US ice cream business (Dreyer’s) has undertaken a number of steps to decrease environmental impact from transportation. By maximising the number of cases per truck, and other related actions, Dreyer’s has been able to save 1 558 shipments, 1 177 million miles and 136 000 tonnes of carbon over the last two years.
