Nestlé, as part of its PKR 2 billion investment in renewable energy in Pakistan, inaugurated a 2.6 megawatt solar power plant at its Sheikhupura Factory.
The solar power plant, completed with an investment of PKR 500 million, aims to reduce 1,857 tCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions per year. The inauguration is part of Nestlé Pakistan’s PKR 2 billion investments into renewable energy, that include two biomass boilers and additional solar power plants at its other manufacturing sites in Pakistan.
It is part of its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with a special focus on renewable energy in line with its 2050 Net Zero commitments as well as Pakistan government’s UN climate change pledge.
As Nestlé celebrated 35 years of operations in Pakistan, the company is committed to be a force for good throughout its value chain for the future of the country by boosting investment in renewable energy and sustainability initiatives.
Nestlé is accelerating the use of renewable energy, and this inauguration is part of its larger renewable energy strategy, along with our future plans to introduce biomass boilers and similar solar plants. Nestlé announced its commitment to reduce its emissions by 20% (versus a 2018 baseline) by 2025, halve them by 2030 and reach Net Zero by 2050 in line with UN SDGs 13 and 15.
