Nestlé Nespray’s dairy network nourishes SA families beyond the glass
About this episode
Conny Sethaelo discusses Nestlé Nespray's sustainable dairy network and its impact on South African families.
Behind every glass of locally produced milk lies a dedicated network of South African farmers, factory workers, and rural communities whose care shapes the nation’s health. Conny Sethaelo, Corporate Communications & Public Affairs Director at Nestlé Nespray, joins us to discuss how the brand connects local sourcing with cutting-edge environmental practices to create a sustainable value chain from pasture to packaging. In this episode, she invites consumers to “look beyond the glass” to understand the incredible journey of South African dairy. Sethaelo highlights how Nestlé Nespray draws 100% of its milk from over 96 farms across the Eastern and Western Cape. Furthermore, she explains how regenerative agriculture and low-carbon practices have successfully achieved a 26% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a 25% drop in methane emissions, proving that high-quality nutrition and environmental preservation can work hand in hand.
