Letter to our shareholders

Nestlé stands for Good food, Good life. Quality of food and quality of life go together. What and how we eat and drink is fundamental to our health and wellness, today and for the future. We live our purpose and responsibilities to our shareholders, the communities in which we operate and the planet on which we live. We aim to be trusted and dependable.

Pursuing our value-creation strategy

We aim to offer a portfolio of products that evolve with consumer needs, offer good nutrition and delight the senses, contributing to healthier, balanced lives and a healthier planet. This guides the choices we make today and shapes our portfolio for tomorrow – whether through product evolution, innovation, acquisition or partnerships.

Innovating fast to ensure long-term growth

Innovation is at the heart of Nestlé. Ever since Henri Nestlé invented Farine Lactée to save the life of a child, we have been dedicated to enhancing people’s lives. It is a cornerstone of our success and key to our strategy. For more than 150 years, innovation has helped us build competitive advantages and continuously evolve our business, product and solution portfolio.

Creating value through digitalization

Digitalization is vital for Nestlé’s continued evolution. It covers all aspects of our business from the way we organize internally to how we engage externally. We are advancing as a digitally enabled and data-powered business. Our digital journey is business-led and focused on becoming faster, more agile and more consumer-centric.

Connecting through our brands

Through our products and brands, we connect with people and their pets millions of times a day and throughout their lives. Our brands are our vehicles for creating experiences beyond products.

Creating Shared Value

Creating Shared Value is fundamental to how we do business at Nestlé. We believe that our company can only be successful in the long term by creating value both for our shareholders and for society. Our activities and products should make a positive difference to society while contributing to Nestlé’s ongoing success.
