Introduction --Nestle

Nestlé, over its long historical development from a small village operation to the world’s
leading food Company, has demonstrated an enviable capability to adjust to an ever-
changing external environment, without losing its fundamental beliefs and core values,
so important for long-term success. Over the years to come, this capability will continue
to be challenged even more as Nestlé is growing in size and complexity up to a
dimension which demands a continuous evolution of its organization and of the way in
which it is run.

This permanent transformation will be driven by the need to manage complexity with a
high level of efficiency, leveraging all the intangibles which enhance our competitive
edge. Our personal motivation based on willingness to learn and to question what we are
doing and why we are doing it, combined with our longstanding respect for certain
Nestlé values, will assure our success. In such a setting, every employee of Nestlé has
both an individual and complementary role to play in building the Company of
tomorrow. The Basic Nestlé Management and Leadership Principles were issued in
1997. The first version reflected the specific situation of the Company at that time, and
intended to build a bridge at a moment when it was essential to ensure that our Nestlé
values were recorded for future reference.

The new version not only re-emphasizes the values that have been and always will be
those of Nestlé, but focuses strongly on the skills that will ensure Nestlé’s future over the
years to come. It is also aligned with the Corporate Business Principles, which have been
revised in 2002. We wish that each of you carefully read this document, share it with
your collaborators, take pride in adhering to its principles and implement them with
conviction and enthusiasm. We believe indeed that these principles are there to be lived
not only through discussions with colleagues and during training sessions but mainly by
taking concrete action in the workplace. These principles should be applied everywhere
and at all times in our organization, thus becoming a tangible expression of our corporate
culture and a key component of our success.

NESTLE – A HUMAN COMPANY

1
Nestlé is a human Company providing a response to individual human needs throughout
the world with specific concern for the well-being of both its consumers and its
employees. This is reflected in its attitude and its sense of responsibility towards people.
Nestlé aims to increase sales and profits but, at the same time, to raise the standard of
living everywhere it is active and the quality of life for everyone. Nestlé is also
convinced that it is the people who form the strength of the Company and that nothing
can be achieved without their commitment and their energy, which makes people its
most important asset. Involvement of people at all levels starts with appropriate
information on the Company’s activities and on the specific aspects of their work.
Through open communication and active co-operation, everyone is invited to contribute
to improvements enhancing Company results and personal development

MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT
Members of Nestlé Management at all levels are strongly committed to the Company, its
development and its culture as expressed in The Nestlé Management and Leadership
Principles. They practice what they preach and show the example in their daily work.
Apart from professional skills and insight, the capacity and willingness to apply these
principles are the main criteria for progressing in the organisation, regardless of origin,
nationality, religion, race, gender or age.

NESTLE -- VALUES, CULTURES & TRADITIONS

High commitment to quality products and brands


Worried by the high level of infant mortality at that time and relying on scientific
research, the Company founder, Henri Nestlé, created a revolutionary product, “Farine
Lactée Nestlé” (Nestlé Milk Cereal), which has helped to save the lives of many children
the world over. Nestlé’s coat of arms, the birds’ nest, which refers to his name, has
become a symbol for our products being a safe harbour for our consumers. Ever since,

2
product safety and quality, Research & Development based innovation capacity and
strong brands are a priority for Nestlé.

Respect of other cultures and traditions


From its inception, Nestlé developed its business internationally and became aware of
the fact that food products have to be closely linked to local eating and social habits.
That is why Nestlé from the very start has always shown respect for diverse cultures and
traditions. Nestlé endeavours to integrate itself as much as possible into the cultures and
traditions where it is present, adding also to the local environment its own set of values
laid out in this document. Therefore, Nestlé embraces cultural and social diversity and
does not discriminate on the basis of origin, nationality, religion, race, gender or age.
Furthermore, Nestlé believes that its activities can only be of long-term benefit to the
Company if they are at the same time beneficial to the local community. In short, global
thinking and strategies can best be expressed through local action and commitment.

The Nestlé culture


Apart from its commitment to safety and quality and its respect for diversity, Nestlé is
committed to a number of cultural values. These values come partly from its Swiss roots
and have been developed during its history. They are also evolving so as to support the
permanent reshaping of the Company. They can be described as follows:
 Commitment to a strong work ethic, integrity, honesty and quality.
 Personal relations based on trust and mutual respect. This implies a sociable
attitude towards others, combined with an ability to communicate openly and
frankly.
 A personalised and direct way of dealing with each other. This implies a high
level of tolerance for other ideas and opinions, as well as a relentless commitment
to co-operate proactively with others.
 A more pragmatic than dogmatic approach to business. This implies being
realistic and basing decisions on facts.
 Openness and curiosity for dynamic and future trends in technology, changes in
consumer habits, new business ideas and opportunities, while maintaining respect
for basic human values, attitudes and behaviour.

3
 Pride in contributing to the reputation and the performance of the Company. This
calls especially for nurturing a sense of quality and long-term achievement in the
daily workbeyond fashion and shortsighted gain.
 Loyalty to and identification with the Company.

NESTLE CORPORATE BUSINESS PRINCIPLES

Nestle is corporate to the following principles in all countries, taking into account local
legislation, cultural and religious practices :

 Nestlé’s business objective, and that of management and employees at all levels
is to manufacture and market the Company’s products in such a way as to create
value that can be sustained over the long term for shareholders, employees,
consumers, business partners and the large number of national economies in
which Nestle operates.
 Nestlé does not favor short-term profit at the expense of successful long-term
business development, but recognizes the need to generate a healthy profit each
year in order to maintain the support of our shareholders and the financial
markets band to finance investments; Nestlé recognizes that its consumers have a
sincere and legitimate interesting the behavior, beliefs and actions of the

4
Company behind brands in which they place their trust, and that without its
consumers the company would not exist.
 Nestlé believes that, as a general rule, legislation is the most effective safeguard
of responsible conduct, although in certain areas, additional guidance to staff in
the form of voluntary business principles is beneficial in order to ensure that the
highest standards are met throughout the organization; Nestlé is conscious of the
fact that the success of a corporation is a reflection of the professionalism,
conduct and the responsible attitude of its management and employees. 

Therefore recruitment of the right people and ongoing training and development are
crucial; Nestlé operates in many countries and in many cultures throughout the world.
This rich diversity is an invaluable source for our leadership. No single document can
capture every legal obligation that may be required in each of these countries. Indeed,
there may be conflicting legal requirements. Nestlé continues to maintain its
commitment to follow and respect all applicable local laws in each of its markets.

If an interpretation of anything contained in this document is construed as country to


local laws, such interpretation should not be followed in that country.

5
NESTLE LEADERSHIP VALUE : ADDING VALUE
Members of the Nestlé Management at all levels are more concerned with continuously
adding value to the Company than exercising formal authority. This can only materialize
with a high involvement of each employee and a common mindset geared to results.
Contributing to results through project work and special assignments becomes more
frequent, reaching beyond conventional boundaries in order to contribute to wider group
performance. The broader the responsibility of a Nestlé Manager, the more the following
specific criteria should be considered, in addition to professional skills, practical
experience and result focus:
 Personal commitment and courage. This includes the capacity and the
willingness to take initiatives and risks as well as to maintain composure under
pressure.
 Ability to motivate and to develop people, addressing all those issues that allow
others to progress in their work and to develop their capabilities.
 Curiosity and open-mindedness as well as a high level of interest in other
cultures and life-styles. This also includes a commitment to continuous learning
and improving, as well as to sharing knowledge and ideas freely with others.
 A taste for initiative together with the ability to create a climate of innovation
and to think outside the box. This implies the right to make a mistake but also the
readiness to correct it and to learn from it.
 Willingness to accept change and the ability to manage it.

6
 Adaptability of thought and deed, taking into account the specificity and the
complexity of the environment.
 Credibility as a result of coherent action, leadership and achievement.
 International experience and understanding of other cultures.

In addition, broad interests, a good general education, responsible behaviour as well as


fostering a balanced lifestyle are required to hold high-level management positions.

NESTLE CURRENT STRATEGIES


“A social and managerial process where by individual & groups obtains good
food and good life through creating and exchanging products and  values.” 

THE PRICING STRATEGY


We can easily observe that Nestle itself is taking active part in social
welfare. We see the lower prices of the product as compared to the other
FMCGs Company’s p r o d u c t s l i k e U n i l e v e r a n d P r o c t e r & G a m b l e . I f

10
w e l o o k a t t h e p r i c e s , w e c a n observe that Nestle is also using its
name for the promotional activities and pricing strategies also. They have to
maintain their level of efficiency and always provide the b e s t a t b e s t p r i c e . N e s t l e
c a r e s a b o u t t h e c u s t o m e r s . A s t h e t i m e i s o f i n f l a t i o n , nestle is trying to
overcome the pricing problems to the extent they can do.
Nestlép o i n t   o f   v i e w   i s   “ O n l y   b y   u n d e r s t a n d i n g   c o n s u m e r   n e e d s  
c a n   w e   s e r v e   o u r   consumers to the fullest”. P r o f i t e a r n i n g i s t h e c o r e
a i m o f e v e r y c o m p a n y b u t i n c a s e o f N e s t l e t h e i r p r o f i t margin is small
just for the sake of customers trust and happiness. Nestle is also one of the leader of
retaining their customers. This is one reason of their success.

PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES
Nestle launch was, perhaps one of the most aggressive as far as processed Nestle product
concerned, with TV, print ads, radio commercials, billboards and plenty of BTL (below
the line) activities including direct consumer and shop branding activities. Due to this
aggressive marketing campaign, the competition seems to begetting tougher. So far ads
focus towards the younger generation, who want to feel f r e e , y o u n g a n d e x c i t e d ,
l e a d i n g a h e a l t h y l i f e s t y l e . T h e s e a d s a r e a p p e a l i n g s pecific social class.
They keep the information of the other companies what they are offering. Try
to improve their strategies from others so that they can promote their product
more. Like more companies are now coming in the market so there is more completion
in the market and they have to be up to date from the current situations

11
EMPLOYMENT AT NESTLE

The Corporate Business Principles outline the Company’s commitment to fully endorse
and to respect a series of principles and international conventions concerning employee’s
rights, the protection of children against child labor and other important issues. These
principles are to be respected everywhere and under all circumstances.

The management will implement the necessary processes to ensure that these principles
are enforced at all levels. Employees who are not abiding with the Corporate Business
Principles and the Nestlé Management and Leadership Principles cannot be maintained
in employment and will be requested to leave the organization. Also their main suppliers
and providers of out sourced services should be informed of the Corporate Business
Principles and should comply with those. Nestlé provides a working environment which
protects the health and there welfare of the employees according to the highest?
Affordable standards of safety, hygiene and security. Each employee should not only
Care for her/his own safety but also that of her/his colleagues. Therefore, suggestions for
improvement are they come and will be given prime consideration.

12
In the same way that no discrimination for reason of origin, nationality, religion, race,
Gender or age will be tolerated when joining Nestlé, no such discrimination will be
tolerated towards Nestlé’s employees. Furthermore, any form of harassment, moral or
sexual, will not only be prohibited but actively tracked and eliminated. Internal Rules
and regulations will explicitly deal with discrimination and harassment issues so as to
obtain the best possible prevention. Nestlé considers that it is not enough to avoid
discrimination or harassment. It is essential to build a relationship based on trust and
respect of employees at all levels. Therefore, it is indispensable for each manager to
know how her/his employees feel in their work. In larger units it may be necessary to
organize such feedback on a regular basis, using internal surveys or other valuable
approaches. Nestlé favors a policy of long-term employment. Whenever, an operation
activity cannot be maintained within the Nestlé sphere, reasonable steps will be
undertaken to avoid overall loss of employment by identifying an external Business
willing to take over activity from Nestlé, whenever this is possible.

If this is not possible, a closing down may be unavoidable. It will be handled in full
respect of local legislation and of the Corporate Business Principles. A social plan will
be elaborated taking into account the legitimate interests of the concerned staff.

Reasonable efforts will be deployed to reduce, as much as possible, the negative Social
impact of such a situation.

organization to convey systematically all information to those who need it to do

t o e n g a g e i n dialogue. Every employee has the right to an open conversation

CAREER MANAGEMENT

The Nestlé Human Resource Policy The long-term success of the Company
Depends on its capacity to attract, retain and develop employees able to ensure its growth
on a continuing basis. This is a primary responsibility for all managers. The Nestlé
policy is to hire staff with personal attitudes and professional skills enabling them to
develop a long-term relationship with the Company.
Therefore the potential for professional development is an essential standard for
recruitment.

Each new member joining Nestlé is to become a participant in developing a sustainable


quality culture which implies a commitment to the organization, a sense for continuous
improvement and leaves no place for complacency.
Therefore, and in view of the importance of these Nestlé values, special attention will be
Paid to the matching between a candidate’s values and the Company culture.

Hence, a clear communication of these principles and values from the very beginning of
the recruitment process is required. Moreover, for managerial positions specific
leadership qualities and business acumen will be required. Nestlé wishes to maintain and
develop its reputation as an employer of high repute. Contacts with universities,
attendance at recruitment events and other contacts are to be undertaken so as to ensure
good visibility of the Company visa vis relevant Recruitment sourcing. Particular care
will be given to the treatment of each Candidacy regardless of the outcome of the
selection process.

Even when promoting employees intensively from within the organization, it is the role
of management and HR to keep an eye on valuable candidates from outside and to

21
Benchmark internal skills with external offers.
Whilst adequate recruitment tools may improve the hiring process, it is understood that
the decision to hire a candidate remains in the hands of the responsible manager
Supported by the HR staff. Under no circumstances should the decision to hire or not to
hire be left in the hands of an outside consultant or expert. As mentioned in the Nestlé
Management and Leadership Principles, only relevant skills and experience and the
adherence to the above 
Principles will be considered in employing a person. No consideration will be given to a
candidate’s origin, nationality, religion, race, gender or age.

It is as important to hire the right person as it is to integrate newcomers in the


organization so that their skills and behavior can merge smoothly with the Company
culture. Whereas from new employees it is expected to respect their company’s culture,
it is accordingly required from all employees to show an open mind towards new ideas
and proposals coming from outside.

EMPLOYEE NUTRITION TRAINING 


Building a continuous nutrition learning culture within Nestlé is a key element in our
journey to become a nutrition, health and wellness company, to provide profitable
growth in the future. To support this objective, they have developed the NQ (Nutritional
Quotient) training program for employees, based on the principle that nutrition is
everybody’s business at Nestlé, irrespective of the area in which employees work.
Nestlé’s expert nutrition knowledge is long-established, centered on the activities of
Nestlé Nutrition and our R&D network. The NQ program is designed to widen and
increase the knowledge base among employees in other job functions, giving everyone
the confidence to apply this knowledge in their work.
The program combines nutritional knowledge with commercial application. For example,
when communicating with consumers about balanced diets, the knowledge gained by
Nestlé employees through the NQ program will help make nutrition and wellness
tangible to consumers, ensuring that Nestlé is regarded as a knowledgeable partner in
nutrition matters. Not only this - a major aim of the program is also to help employees
make informed and healthy nutrition choices for themselves and their own families.
A MODULAR PROGRAM 
NQ training comprises engaging modules suitable for all employees, from the Executive
Board to plant operators, and leverages the nutrition expertise of Nestlé scientists and
health marketing specialists. Implementation began in 2007, with Nestlé nutrition experts

23
and marketing specialists taking part in "train the trainer" sessions across our zones to
support the cascade of knowledge to all employees.
Key to the success of the NQ training are interactive, customized modules designed to
encourage people to participate and put knowledge into action. These are tailored to
specific needs: 
1. Foundation module: a stand-alone program of learning and development for Nestlé
employees whose jobs are principally non consumer or customer facing.

2. Advanced module: core learning for staff who are engaged with external bodies
and consumers/customers.

3. Specialist modules: place particular emphasis on understanding the consumer and


application of the Nestlé nutrition and wellness strategy in specific product categories.

A COMPLETE TOOLKIT

The NQ program toolkit comprises a suite of materials for trainers, including training


manuals and slide sets. For trainees themselves, learning takes place in an engaging way
using a variety of media and formats, including interactive games, motivational video
content and an on-line quiz. This is used to measure collective progress and to allow
each trainee to evaluate, in an entirely confidential way, his or her personal lifestyle
choices. The toolkit also comprises awareness-raising and motivational material that can
be used and adapted to meet local needs, including posters, questionnaires and
certificates.

ONGOING DEVELOPMENT

As nutrition and our insights into nutrition evolve, so too will our NQ Nutrition training,
helping Nestlé employees to keep abreast of new developments and maintain a high level
of credibility through the breadth and depth of our nutrition expertise.
