What is Nestlé doing to help ensure the welfare of farm animals?

   

Nestlé recognises that farm animal welfare is a matter of concern to our consumers. We fully support the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) standards on international farm animal welfare.

We also support the International Dairy Federation (IDF) Guide to Good Animal Welfare in Dairy Production. The IDF guide aims to raise awareness of animal welfare and lays out beneficial dairy herd management practices that also promote farm animal health and welfare.

We’re developing specific Responsible Sourcing Guidelines on farm Animal Welfare based on the OIE standards as part of our Responsible Sourcing Traceability Programme. They will apply to suppliers across our extended supply chains. We will communicate on these guidelines later in 2012.
