Nestlé in society: Creating Shared Value Nutrition, health and wellness Rural development Water Environmental sustainability Human rights and compliance Our people Customer health and safety G4-DMA Our research and development As the leading Nutrition, Health and Wellness company, we have a responsibility to use our nutrition knowledge and research to make a positive contribution to society. Nestlé has built the world’s largest private nutrition research network, which works with leading academic institutions to share understanding, improve our foods and beverages, and push our company and industry to address key public health and nutrition challenges. By learning about how, what and when people eat and drink throughout their lives, we can produce foods and beverages that can help consumers make better, more informed and healthier choices. We seek to support public health by investing in both individual- and population-based scientific research, which allows us to help develop measurable strategies and meaningful initiatives to address local nutrition gaps. Researching nutrition’s impact on health and wellness Balanced nutrient consumption is critical for daily bodily functions. However, determining what and how much individuals should be eating each day can be confusing. Our aim is to help people make better-informed, sciencebased lifestyle choices. For example, we’re currently conducting research into the interaction between diet, lifestyle, inherited genetic factors and individual metabolism. The research we conduct among certain groups – including the elderly, mothers, infants and young children – and in specific countries, can shape our innovation work and inform our food and beverage portfolio and related services. Our research also aims to go beyond improving our food and beverage portfolio. We seek to help the wider public health community by investigating specific disorders and illnesses, such as metabolic health and micronutrient deficiencies. We are able to do this through a robust, global network that includes research partnerships with leading academic and scientific bodies. Our findings, which are independently assessed and reviewed, are shared publicly. Nestlé’s long-term commitment to innovation has resulted in partnerships with leading scientific organisations that are looking into disease progression across the stages of life. We believe we can advance faster and further through scientific collaboration, with results that can ultimately improve public health. Our R&D network As the largest private R&D network in the industry, we employ more than 4800 people. The work of our global network is shaped by our science and research centres: the NRC, the CDU, and the NIHS. These focal points are supplemented by 40 Product Technology and R&D Centres across the world. In 2015, Nestlé invested approximately CHF 1.7 billion in R&D, predominantly for food and beverage businesses, and filed 292 patents. Processing for improved nutrition and consumer value The common misconception of processed and frozen food is that it is always high in sodium, sugar, fats and calories, and therefore a less nutritious option. At Nestlé, we believe that processed foods and beverages can be a nutritious and convenient option. We know processing thoughtfully and responsibly can yield a number of benefits, including improved nutrition, food safety and food accessibility. This belief led us to open our new US R&D Centre in Solon, Ohio, in July 2015. The primary focus of the new facility will be to develop Nestlé’s R&D strategy for the worldwide frozen and chilled foods business. Furthermore, the experts at Nestlé R&D Solon will innovate and renovate products that meet the Nestlé Nutritional Profiling System (NNPS) criteria requirements and balance taste with nutrition. The team will also provide expert technical assistance to Nestlé production facilities around the world, particularly in the important areas of nutrition, food processing, food quality and food safety. We’re still focused on offering good food that provides added health benefits, fulfils the highest safety standards and offers nutritional advantages. Food also must look and taste good, and offer convenience to consumers. Our Nestlé R&D Solon team will help to improve every aspect of the frozen and chilled foods we market with this vision in mind.” Johannes Baensch, Head of Global Product & Technology Development, Nestec Ltd Find out more about the new centre.
