Contributing to the global goals

By promoting good health and well-being, we can help people live longer, happier lives. We believe that through initiatives and products that improve nutrition and better farming practices, we can play a part in reducing the risk of developing diseases and making the world a healthier place.

By respecting and advancing human rights in our value chain, we are building a foundation that contributes to a resilient future for our planet and its people.

We believe work should offer dignity, respect and fair pay, and as a major global employer, we are proud that we provide employment to hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. We are especially interested in empowering young people. Through our global youth initiative, we provide young people with skills and education, offering help to young entrepreneurs and making agriculture a more prosperous sector for young people.

We recognize how deeply connected food systems are to the planet’s resources. It is imperative to our business and our shared future that we take the lead and inspire others to help protect, renew and restore the resources we all depend on.

Water is the planet’s most precious resource and access to it is a fundamental human right. It is also essential to our business, for our bottled-water, the crops grown by our suppliers and the processes used to manufacture our products. At Nestlé, our bottled water business aims to help create a positive water impact everywhere it operates by 2025.

Nestlé is collaborating for positive impact through partnerships with many different stakeholder groups.
