"What I appreciated about TBC was you really have a feeling that they're core experts, they really have core expertise on the topic. We're working with people that have a PhD, so to me that means a lot when it comes to reliability and knowing the topic and really knowing what they're talking about." — Anders Saxbol , Senior Sustainability Strategist, Ferrero

Client
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 conducted a gap analysis of the client’s existing strategy and developed a new strategy in line with the 5 key drivers of biodiversity loss. Utilising Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and quantitative research, TBC performed a materiality assessment involving commodity deep dives and identified hotspots across their value chain. TBC also conducted in-depth land use footprinting to inform the materiality assessment. TBC then identified a list of potential targets across our client’s value chain that were aligned with SBTN AR³T, giving the company the freedom to then choose targets through internal workshopping.
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.
