On World Clean Up Day, Nestlé volunteers hailing from their Head Office in Sydney sprang into action, donning gloves and dedicating their time to tidying up various sites within the local community. Their focus for this initiative centred around Rose Bay harbourside, part of a broader nationwide endeavour supported by Clean Up Australia.



Nestlé’s vision is that none of its packaging, including plastics, ends up in landfill, in oceans, lakes and rivers. Rolling up their sleeves and supporting World Clean Up Day was a tangible way employees could get involved and support the ambition to achieve a waste-free future. 

Nestlé Head of Sustainability Amanda Robertson said, “Days like this provide an important hands-on experience for the team, where we can come together, get outdoors and make a meaningful impact in our local area.  

“We want to inspire our people to be conscious of the effects of waste on our environment and there’s no better place to start than in our local community.

“Our goal for World Clean Up Day was simple: to leave our local community cleaner than we found it. And we certainly have. A big thank you to all the Nestlé volunteers who came out, we wouldn’t have been successful without them.”

Nestlé has announced several commitments to help achieve its vision of a waste-free future, including reducing its use of virgin plastic by a third by 2025 and introducing more recycled content in its packaging. 

Pip Kiernan, Chair of Clean Up Australia said, “Cleaning up our environment is a fantastic reminder that every action, no matter how small, can make a big difference.  When we take time to connect with the environment and clean it up, we become more conscious of our environmental footprint. 

“The efforts made by the Nestlé team help us to reach more sites, pick up more litter, and make more of a difference across Australia,” she said. 



World Clean Up Day unites countries, communities and volunteers across the world for clean-up exercises, promoting the need for proper management of waste and raising global awareness and action for a cleaner planet.
