Nestlé's Commitment to Sustainability

At Nestlé USA, we recognize our need and responsibility to actively address environmental concerns. Our ultimate environmental goal is to ensure that our company is doing its part responsibly and playing a leadership role in helping to preserve the environment. It is our policy to utilize sound environmental, pollution prevention and control, energy conservation and recycling/solid waste management practices internally, and to develop and utilize packaging that reduces the amount of materials used, contains already recycled materials, and/or can be recycled or disposed of in environmentally sensitive ways. Our approach is practical, cost-effective and results-based.

Amid Political Uncertainty, the World is Looking to U.S. Businesses to Act on Climate Change
As business people, we have an opportunity every day to decide how we create value. Do we focus, as Milton Friedman suggested, on creating products and services in a way that maximizes our bottom line with no direct accountability for social responsibility? Or do we find ways to create shared value that can enhance our shared natural and social capital?

Coming off last month’s 22nd UN Conference of the Parties (COP22) climate meeting in Marrakesh and the recent results of the U.S. election, the question on everybody’s minds is: what will become of the current climate change agenda and what role will non-government actors play?

Getting Real in California
I’ve been reading and talking a lot lately about the idea of tackling climate change by “thinking globally and acting locally.” It’s not a novel concept; in fact, it’s becoming the mantra in everything from politics to marketing to social causes. We live in a global market: an interconnected, interdependent world where everything that happens has the potential to affect something on the other side of the planet.
