Innovation is one of Nestlé’s key competitive advantages. We have more than 140 years of research, development and scientific know-how. While there is a great deal of pure and applied science research that takes place in our global R&D centres, Nestlé ensures that the consumer, and the consumer benefit, remains at the core of all our activities.
