Their involvement made me immediately question whether this was actually something I should support.

Nestlé's business depends on the availability of crops that are at risk because of climate change, including chocolate and coffee. As it's patently clear what their self interest is in this, we can trust they are being honest this time.

I guarantee 100% of the 130 companies have determined they will be less profitable the worse climate change gets.

It's actually insane when you think with it, as the vast majority of businesses will be worse off, yet a minority are concerned with the current trajectory.

Not a problem till it’s MY problem
