Nestle wants to play a part in the health and well-being of consumers by providing them with
nutritional products. To order do that, Nestlé established Nestlé Nutrition, a global business unit
and a Corporate Health Unit with the goal of increasing nutrition and health for its businesses.
To meet the new nutritional needs, these units have renovated nearly 7,000 Nestlé products.
They also train 226,000 employees in nutrition knowledge (Nestlé, 2019).

Then, Nestlé wants to contribute to helping society solve the problem of nutrition. To order do
that, Nestlé has developed practical actions throughout the value chain, in the countries where
Nestlé operates. One of the main programs in this series is the Healthy Global Children Program,
which teaches children about nutrition and physical activity. The program has been active in
more than 50 countries and reached 5.4 million children in 2012 (Nestlé, 2020)

These plans not only create value for society but also create economic value for Nestlé. In 2019,
Nestlé's profit increased by 2 billion USD compared to the previous year (Nestlé, 2019).
Moreover, thanks to these campaigns, Nestlé has learned new knowledge about nutrition and
health. Such knowledge will help Nestlé develop its products to serve consumers. In addition,
these activities help Nestlé increase brand awareness, increase consumer loyalty, and adjust
business strategies to achieve long-term goals such as profitability, increase market share,

billion USD higher than in 2018 (Nestlé, 2018)

Water plays an important role in ensuring the future and long-term activities of Nestlé. More
than half of Nestlé's products are soft drinks, and customers also need water to use the products.
Therefore, the company commits that the plant's activities will be properly calculated so as not to
waste water. Nestlé made a commitment to the human right to water in 2010. W.A.T.E.R. is
committed to five basic goals that all activities should aim for (João Maria Neves, 2019).
Moreover, Nestlé has participated in many activities to affirm the importance of this activity. As
a result, Nestlé became a member of the United Nations Global Cooperation Organization on
Water in 2007. A relationship whose primary purpose is to help companies gain more
information to implement policy and practice. sustainable practice in the country. In 2008, Nestlé
founded the 2030 Water Resources Group to address the world's water challenges with members
from private sector companies, NGOs and governments. In addition, the Water Footprint
Network and the Water Management Alliance are also initiatives of Nestlé's partners. (UN,
2007)
As a result of these activities, in 2012, Nestlé was the food producer with the highest score in the
water-related risk section of the Down Jones Sustainability Index 2012. Results of this effort also
awarded by the ESSEC Business School in France, which recognizes the company's efforts in
helping local farmers use water efficiently. These successes are related to Nestlé's persistence
with countries around the world to create a common value, both socially and economically. To
the society, activities help to universalize access to clean water and sanitation facilities. With
Nestlé it helps to reduce risks and costs and forecast future sources of raw materials and water,
providing long-term profitability and sustainable development.

Rural development.
Rural development is the third theme in Nestlé's CSR strategy. Nestlé believes that the happiness
of farmers, workers, suppliers and the rural communities where the company operates is
important for the long-term and sustainable development of Nestlé. Moreover, the demand for
production materials is increasing because the world population is growing rapidly. With the
current world situation. Nestlé recognizes the importance of farmers in providing raw materials
for their production and business activities.

That's why Nestlé always strives to source their raw materials responsibly and sustainably.
Nestlé works directly with more than 690,000 farmers and relies on more than 5 million farmers
to grow raw materials for its production. (Nestlé, 2012). Furthermore, Nestlé always works
directly with suppliers to improve their efficiency. In 2012, Nestlé, through the Nescafé plan and
the Cocoa Plan, provided capacity building training with a focus on soil and water protection to
more than 270,000 farmers (Nestlé, 2012). In addition, they train farmers in agricultural methods
and educate the community.

In 2012, Nestlé invested in factories and rural areas to develop infrastructure and create jobs for
44,000 farmers. In addition, the R&D program is developed with the aim of helping farmers to
produce crops in a sustainable and long-lasting manner. A team of more than 12,000 agricultural
workers and 1,100 agronomists worldwide, who are responsible for maintaining an ongoing
dialogue with governments and partner NGOs, oversees all of these activities. (Nestlé, 2012)
Nestlé's strategy of growing within its Rural Development Zone means creating economic and
social value. Society has access to high quality crops, employment and economic development
opportunities as well as increases in farmers' knowledge and income. Nestlé works hard to
benefit from a low-cost supply of safe and high-quality ingredients. After all, the above has
translated into sustainable development for the company. A relationship where both parties
benefit.
