Ethical and responsible business practices

Business ethics and compliance are the foundations of how we do business at Nestlé and the conditions for Creating Shared Value. We conduct business in an ethical and principles-based manner even in the absence of legal or regulatory frameworks. Where our own principles and policies are stricter than local legislation, the higher standard applies.

This includes our zero tolerance of fraud, bribery and corruption, our efforts to ensure data privacy and our open disclosure of tax payments.
