The company has identified 30 goals in the areas of nutrition, water, rural development, sustainability and compliance in its new report, Nestlé in Society: Creating Shared Value and meeting our commitments 2012.
The time-bound targets reflect Nestlé’s ambitions to work collectively with other stakeholders to help address the global food and water crisis, and the specific nutritional challenges posed by malnutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies.
“We are announcing a set of forward-looking, measurable commitments to society and on environmental sustainability,” said Nestlé CEO Paul Bulcke. “Our focus on these areas isn’t new. We have been measuring our performance and reporting on our progress for many years. What is new is that we are sharing the commitments we have made externally.
“We believe that by setting ourselves tangible, short-term goals for which we can be held accountable, rather than long-term aspirations, we can really make an impact.”
