Plastic neutrality

Nestlé Philippines Inc. achieves plastic neutrality for two months in a row in pursuit of greener and more sustainable operations, becoming the first fast-moving consumer goods multinational in the country to achieve the feat. The food and beverage manufacturer recovered 4,763 metric tons of plastic waste in a landmark co-processing agreement with Republic Cement.
