For a business to be successful in the long term, it must create value not only for its shareholders but also for society. At Nestlé we recognize that our success means creating value for everyone we touch – from the farmers who supply our products, to our employees, to our consumers and the communities where we operate.

We call this commitment Creating Shared Value; and we focus our efforts in three key areas: nutrition, water and rural development. Those areas are core to our company’s business strategy and essential to creating a better and healthier world in the 21st century.

We invite you to learn more about Creating Shared Value by joining a global webcast of the first Annual Forum on Creating Shared Value at the end of April 2009. Its objective is to help advance solutions to the serious problems facing us in water, food, and nutrition security and will include some of the world’s leading experts in business strategy, nutrition, water, and rural development.
