Sustainability at Nestlé

Creating shared value

We believe in the power of food to enhance quality of life.

It is this belief that fuels our commitment to use our global scale, resources and expertise to contribute to a healthier future for people and the planet.

Creating Shared Value (CSV) is at the heart of our approach to achieving our purpose: to unlock the power of food to enhance quality of life for everyone, today and for generations to come. We have sought to build our business approach on decisions that are not just good for us and our shareholders, but for society and the planet as well.

Our work is guided by our desire to contribute to nutritious and sustainable diets, to help protect, renew and restore natural resources, to help strengthen communities and to operate responsibly.

Our commitments on regenerative agriculture, farmer livelihoods and child labor risks, as well as our Forest Positive strategy and Nestlé Waters pledge build on our Net Zero Roadmap and show the potential to positively impact a wide range of interconnected issues.

That’s why we’re taking action to advance regenerative food systems at scale.

Our approach
We will reach net zero by 2050 at the latest, even as our business continues to grow. We will get there by playing our part in developing regenerative food systems that put people first and aim to protect, renew and restore the environment while contributing to the resilience and well-being of farming communities.
