Nestle wishes women around the world a Happy Women’s Day

Creating value for society while creating value for shareholders is Nestlé’s approach to CSR. As women are a major workforce at Nestlé – in farms, factories and offices – Nestlé has implemented a worldwide initiative to accelerate gender balance. This initiative includes giving our leadership teams the necessary background and best practice guidance necessary to increase gender balance,  Some reviewing human resources processes, and deploying locally adapted action plans in all markets. Nestle Japan, for example has run gender balance awareness workshops with more than 250 participants, including its entire management team, while 3 task forces (one each for sales, factories, and women and leadership) have been set up. Nestlé also has specific programmes targeted at women in the farming communities where the company sources its raw materials. The Village Women Dairy Development Programme in the Moga milk district of Punjab, India, focuses on advising female dairy workers on efficient water usage and other agricultural practices. Nestlé is also promoting cottage industries for women in South Africa and conducting nutrition education programmes for women in Nigeria. We would like to thank you for your continued support as we celebrate Women’s day today!
