• Nestlé’s ambition is to enhance people’s lives through nutrition, health and wellness. We offer healthier and tastier food and beverage choices at all stages of life and at all times of the day. Based on science and Research and Development, we permanently innovate our portfolio of food and beverages. • We have extended the boundaries of nutrition, health and wellness with Nestlé Health Science, enabling us to lead the development of nutritional therapies that transform the way people, patients and healthcare professionals manage health. With the creation of Nestlé Skin Health, we are offering scientifically-proven products and solutions for people’s skin health needs throughout their lives. • It is our firm belief that for a company to be successful over time, and create value for its shareholders, it must also create value for society. We call this “Creating Shared Value”. Built on strong foundations of compliance and sustainable business practices, this is our way of doing business and of being the trusted leader in Nutrition, Health and Wellness. • As stated in the Nestlé Corporate Business Principles, we are committed to the sustainable use of water and continuous improvement in water management. We recognise that the world faces a growing water challenge and that responsible management of the world’s resources by all water users is an absolute necessity.
