Business Opportunity and Social Good: Not a Zero Sum Game

Creating Shared Value is not a donation strategy. It’s a fundamental guiding principle for how Nestlé does business and a strategy tool to deliver our purpose: enhancing quality of life and contributing to a healthier future. It’s based on the idea that how we operate every day can make a positive impact in the lives of individuals and families, our communities, and our planet, while achieving a positive bottom line. As the largest food and beverage company in the world, how we make our food, run our factories, and manage our supply chains can make a difference.
