The report includes a set of forward-looking commitments to society and on environmental sustainability it aims to meet by 2020 or earlier. 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.

What is new is that we are sharing the commitments we have made externally” said Nestlé Chief Executive Officer Paul Bulcke.  “We have already achieved a lot,” he continued. “But we recognise there is always more to do”
