Our work with the United Nations
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is a strategic policy initiative for businesses committed to aligning
their operations and strategies with 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour,
environment and anti-corruption. Nestlé’s own Corporate Business Principles incorporate the UNGC’s Ten
Principles and we reflect the basic concepts of fairness, honesty and respect for people and the environment in
our business actions. We have also contributed to the UNGC’s Blueprint for Corporate Sustainability Leadership,
a document designed to improve corporate sustainability performance.
Our Communication on Progress
As a participant in the UNGC, Nestlé is required to issue an
annual Communication on Progress (COP) – a public report on
how we are implementing the Ten Principles and supporting
broader development objectives set by the UN Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) adopted on 25 September 2015. The disclosure
increases transparency and accountability, drives
improvements in performance and safeguards the integrity of
the UNGC and the United Nations. Nestlé’s COP can be found
here and the table below briefly outlines the ways we are
currently supporting the principles, providing links to
information in the relevant section of this report.
