Manufacturing: Managing operations to protect the environment

"Creating Shared Value" for Nestlé: Building factories with good and continuously improving environmental performance, supported by strong local businesses, enables Nestlé to achieve sustainable profitable growth.

"Creating Shared Value" for society: Nestlé's major investments in rural areas also help workers acquire new skills and higher income, develop local suppliers and entrepreneurs, and raise environmental standards. For example, 55% of Nescafé^® is manufactured in factories in the developing countries.

With the aim of continuous performance improvement, all manufacturing sites for Nestlé UK are certified to the internationally recognised ISO 14001 standard for environmental management and OHSAS 18001 standard for occupational health and safety management.
