Nestlé in society: Creating Shared Value Nutrition, health and wellness Rural development Water Environmental sustainability Human rights and compliance Our people G4-EC7, Healthy and affordable food G4-DMA Educating our employees To help reinforce our strategic ambition, we provide nutrition training for our people. We call this training the Nestlé’s Nutrition Quotient (NQ) programme, which provides all our employees with a strong foundation of nutrition knowledge that they can apply to their daily professional activities as well as their own daily food choices. Launched in 2007 and taught online, NQ has progressive levels covering subjects such as nutrient basics and food groups, and how to integrate nutrition principles into daily living habits. For those people with no internet access, we offer classroom training and organise factory site campaigns, with an educational poster series, activities and hand-outs that our people can take home to their families. By the end of 2015, more than 422 208 employees around the world had received NQ training at least once since programme launch. We also have in the last five years been re-training past trainees. In 2015 for example, 36 248 employees received refresher training. While we have made great progress towards training all employees on the NQ Foundation Module, with 94.4% trained by the end of 2015, we have extended our commitment to address all our joint ventures and employee turnover. See Training our people for more information. We also train Nestlé Nutrition employees on the Nestlé Policy and Instructions for Implementation of the WHO International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. Find out more about how we train our employees on the marketing of breast-milk substitutes. Nestlé in society – Creating Shared Value and meeting our commitments 2015 66
Nestlé in society: Creating Shared Value Nutrition, health and wellness Rural development Water Environmental sustainability Human rights and compliance Our people Healthy and affordable food G4-DMA, G4-PR1 Nutrition, health and wellness: our foods, beverages and services To promote nutrition, health and wellness across all the stages of life, we provide high-quality, science-based foods and beverages that help people lead healthier lives while enjoying what they consume. Our offerings can be found in households around the world, which gives us a strong platform from which to create and renovate nutritionally enhanced and culturally relevant food and beverage options. We also fortify some foods with nutrients and seek to provide services that encourage healthy eating patterns, such as portion guidance and informative packaging. By developing our understanding of consumers and the choices they make, we can deliver tastier and healthier foods and beverages that encourage individuals to achieve a balanced lifestyle plan. Nestlé delivers more than 1 billion servings of foods and beverages every day worldwide, uniquely enabling us to drive optimal health and improved wellness. We are committed to continuously improving the nutritional benefits of our foods and beverages, developing their health benefits through reformulation. Our gradual approach to reducing salt, sugar and saturated fats (and removing trans fats) helps individuals adapt their taste preference while choosing foods that support healthier lifestyles. We are equally interested in ensuring families get the missing foods and nutrition they lack in their diet – including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fibre – through our portfolio and supporting services. In the developing world, we are committed to playing our part in addressing undernutrition. A key element of our work in these countries is providing affordable nutrition and micronutrients to lower-income populations, especially children and women of childbearing age. All of our nutrition, health and wellness activities are backed by scientific research, including studies on lifestyle behaviours. We also investigate the application of nutritional solutions for individuals with specific illnesses or needs associated with ageing, including skin health. We see our nutrition therapies as an opportunity to adapt our nutrition knowledge to support the health and wellness of a wider range of consumers. Innovation and renovation of our foods and beverages Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which are not passed between individuals, are responsible for an estimated 68% of deaths worldwide. There are four main types of NCDs: cardiovascular disease; cancer; chronic respiratory diseases; and diabetes. NCDs affect people of all ages in all regions, but two important risk factors are physical inactivity and nutrientpoor diets. In addition, in 2014, 39% of the global adult population was overweight and 13% was obese. Overweight and obesity can be caused by environmental factors that are hard to control, but the best methods of preventing these diseases are having an active lifestyle and improved nutrition. We believe that progressive food companies can develop food and beverage solutions that help give consumers access to healthier living. Popularly Positioned Products We have a responsibility to provide consumers with high-quality, nutritious products, regardless of where we sell them and at what price. We have developed a specific approach to what we define as our PPPs, which focuses on meeting the specific needs of lower-income consumers worldwide. PPPs offer these consumers the opportunity to consume high-quality, nutritious foods and beverages at an affordable cost. We sell PPP versions of leading brands such as Milo, Maggi and Nescafé.
