Safe driving
Collaborative action to reduce driving risks
We are progressively building road safety into procurement
standards for contractors, subcontractors, joint-venture partners
and other vendors. Our corporate Safety and Health function and
Group Risk Services, along with our external insurer, periodically
review the efficacy of our Safe Driving Programme, which is
funded through our captive insurer Intercona Re.
It is a unique financial model whereby the fully owned Nestlé
insurance company supports Nestlé entities in addressing risk
management and loss prevention. It is a win-win for all concerned
stakeholders as, on one hand, it helps the markets deploy safe
driving and loss prevention programmes and, on the other, it
optimises Nestlé’s Total Cost of Insurable Risk.
To reduce driving risks, we are increasing internal collaboration
between our Risk Services, Safety and Health, HR and
Procurement functions. We are also increasing our focus on
emerging markets with evolving road safety standards.
Safe Driving Programme in the Middle East
Work-related driving has contributed to several fatalities in our
Middle East region in the past years. In order to improve this
situation, in 2015, the market nominated Safe Driving Champions
and imparted training on Virtual Risk Management and telematics
dashboard training to safety and transport managers. The
champions carried out a communications campaign through
emails and banners. They have formalised, integrated and
consolidated monthly measures in a common platform for
analysis.
Going forward, in 2016, our Nestlé Middle East Zone is
preparing for the next phase of its Safe Driving Programme. This
will include driver feedback on performance data, risk rating,
benchmarking and the integration of telematics. It will use data to:
• Identify the top 10% most at-risk drivers and provide coaching
by line managers;
• Recognise excellent and low-risk drivers;
• Reinforce safe driving messages; and
• Monitor driver performance in monthly operational reviews.
Nestlé Spain wins Fleet Management Award
in 2015
Nestlé Spain has won a Fleet Management Award from the
Spanish Association of Car Fleet Management, as a result of
practices in the training and awareness of road safety. They were
awarded with the first prize, standing out in terms of content,
perseverance, on-site follow-up, the number of initiatives and
dimension of the collective.
Road safety training in Pakistan
Nestlé Pakistan is working in collaboration with National Highway
and Motorway Police to create awareness of road safety in
Sheikhupura. Road infrastructure is poor in many of the rural
areas where we collect milk, increasing the risk for drivers, and
awareness of road safety is also low in the local community.
There are currently six third-party vendors working with Nestlé to
transport fresh milk from 30 main regions across an area which is
about 110 000 km 2 . Vehicles can number more than 500 in high
season, when milk output increases considerably and additional
vehicles have to be deployed to handle it. By supporting the safe
driving programme of the National Highway and Motorway Police,
Nestlé Pakistan has made a huge contribution to the cause of
road safety within the society. Since its beginning in 2008, the
institute has trained 31 000 drivers pertaining to public and
private organisations (including drivers employed or contracted
by Nestlé Pakistan).
Safe driving in the United States
More than 16 000 Nestlé USA employees have completed an
online defensive driving course since it was launched in 2014. The
National Safety Council recognised Nestlé USA with a Trend
Setter Award in 2014 for making our world safer. Nestlé USA also
participated in the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety
(NETS)-sponsored Drive Safely Work Week, which engaged
employees in daily blogs and communications.
In addition, the Nestlé USA Supply Chain Team discovered an
opportunity for improvement with our drivers’ close-quarter
manoeuvring (e.g. parallel parking, right turns, alley dock backing)
and developed a unique Truck Drivers’ Skills Assessment
programme or Safe Driving Truck Rodeo with the involvement of
the State Troopers. They are completing Truck Rodeos across the
country to engage professional long-distance drivers in a
competitive training programme. The rodeo assessment consists
of three main components and prizes are given for both individual
and team recognition. The number of close-quarter incidents have
been reduced by 40% immediately following the rodeo events
and two locations have reported zero incidents. The process,
which supports our Safety, Health and Environment priority for
safe driving, has garnered external recognition with regulatory
agencies and the general public, while engaging leaders and
drivers in fun, capability-building exercises.
