 Nestlé is stepping up its sustainability efforts with the introduction of Star 4, a new high-yielding Arabica coffee variety. Developed in Brazil, Star 4 promises improved resilience and reduced carbon footprint, addressing climate change challenges and ensuring a stable coffee supply chain. This innovation comes as part of Nestlé’s broader strategy to mitigate environmental impacts in coffee production.

The company has also been advancing its sustainable practices with other varieties like Roubi 1 and 2, Robusta types that offer significant reductions in carbon emissions. Nestlé’s commitment includes initiatives such as planting shade trees, boosting soil health, and employing agroforestry practices to enhance carbon sequestration and biodiversity.
