Client Value?
Nestlé had identified biodiversity loss as a business risk because it can threaten the availability and quality of key ingredients and increase vulnerability to climate change. They wanted to complete the SBTN initial target validation, and to set and disclose ambitious and evidence-based targets for land use, becoming a market-leader in the process.
TBC used several in-house methodologies to assess and prioritise different operations and commodities in the client’s value chain. The results from TBC’s analysis were used to support the client to engage in an SBTN pilot and to set science-based targets, and TBC supported the completion the submissions forms and supplementary data sets as per SBTN requirements.

Creating a roadmap for action began with quantifying impacts and risks. Using LCA and in-house land footprint method, TBC quantified a biodiversity & land footprint. Next, TBC assessed biodiversity risks (e.g. presence of threatened species) of sourcing regions. These results were combined with qualitative insights on business priorities to produce a set of recommended actions and then synthesised in the Nature Roadmap.
TBC supported Ferrero to assess their nature-related risks and impacts, including dairy, sugar and cocoa products. TBC collaborated with multiple commodity sourcing specialists to identify sourcing locations with highest biodiversity significance and related risks. Findings were translated into a set of tangible actions and targets.
