Nomad Foods Sustainability Strategy: Carbon Cuts, Sourcing, and Business Value

David Pettet, Group Head of Sustainability at Nomad Foods, explains how the company turns sustainability targets into business value. He discusses cost savings from Scope 1 and 2 emission reductions, brand differentiation from sustainable sourcing, and managing Scope 3 exposure to carbon pricing risk. Pettet also addresses the leadership challenge of balancing short-term financial returns with long-term climate goals. He argues that sustainability must be integrated into strategic decisions, given a fair hearing, and approached pragmatically when payback is not immediate. The interview is part of SustainabilityOnline's Ambition Into Action report series.
