How does the Nestlé CSV Prize distinguish itself from other prizes and awards?
Worldwide, there are numerous awards, prizes and recognition for worthwhile causes and
efforts. Most recognize past achievements but do little to assist worthwhile efforts in their
quest to scale up and become more available to others.
The Nestlé CSV Prize recognises successful, innovative endeavours in the areas of water,
nutrition and rural development and lends crucial financial assistance to ensure that the
work can endure, benefit more people and communities and become sustainable. This is
the living legacy that only an investment can create.
