Human rights

Human rights are inextricably linked to our shared future and a key element of the just transition to regenerative food systems. By respecting and advancing human rights in our value chain, we are contributing to a resilient future for our planet and its people.

We have the size, scale and reach to inspire others and help drive collective action. We are focused on transforming farming practices while enabling a just and equitable transition to regenerative food systems. People and respect for human rights are at the core of Nestlé’s culture and values. We are committed to raising awareness, promoting best practices and empowering people across our value chain.

Our salient issues

We have developed dedicated action plans to address our salient human rights issues. These action plans sit at the heart of our approach to human rights and put our Human Rights Framework and Roadmap into practice. They help us enhance our level of human rights due diligence throughout our value chain and across priority countries. They articulate our strategy for embedding, assessing, addressing and reporting on each salient issue, defining what we need to do across our business activities, as well as what collective action can be taken. They harness Nestlé's strengths and capacities that we have developed over the years, with those of our value chain partners, and our external partners and stakeholders.
