Sustainability at Nestlé
Our purpose is to unlock the power of food to enhance quality of life for everyone, today and for generations to come.
Creating Shared Value – our strong conviction that a company should create value both for its shareholders and society at large – is at the heart of this purpose. This includes our efforts to continuously reduce our impact on the environment and support the communities we serve, while ensuring that we can successfully source the ingredients we need and strengthen the food systems we all rely on.
As part of those efforts, and for several years, we have been addressing climate change, soil degradation, plastic pollution and other challenges through key initiatives, including the Net Zero Roadmap (pdf, 25Mb), The Nestlé Agriculture Framework (pdf, 18Mb), and our Human Rights Framework and Roadmap (pdf, 11Mb).
Find out more information in our Non-Financial Statement (pdf, 4Mb).
