Protection of Parenthood

Our global Maternity Protection Policy (pdf, 1 Mb) is one of the most progressive programmes of its kind in the industry. It includes maternity protection for all primary caregivers of newborns, including fathers and adoptive parents. This means at least 14 weeks’ paid maternity leave and the right to extend leave up to 6 months. The policy covers employment protection and non-discrimination, a healthy and breastfeeding-friendly work environment, and flexible work arrangements.

In addition to 6 months’ maternity leave, flexitime and breastfeeding breaks, we’ve provided over 302 breastfeeding sites in our workplaces around the world. By 2018, we’ll have equipped all offices and sites of more.

Dual Careers

Dual careers are increasingly becoming the family working norm. They could be local or expatriate, and they may have to make compromises from time to time, but we do our best to facilitate joint career moves where we can. 

Nestlé With other multinationals has launched the International Dual Career Network (IDCN) to help dual career spouses with their local job search and professional integration in a new country. With several locations around the world, the IDCN also provides advice, connections and support. More information about IDCN.

We want to help you become our next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs and agripreneurs. Game changers whatever your field or level of expertise. 

We’re passionate about nurturing your talent, energy and dreams to help ensure a sustainable future for everyone. Investing in youth is essential for thriving, resilient communities, and it helps build our business too. Young people help drive change at Nestlé – you keep us dynamic and competitive.

We know life isn’t easy for young people nowadays – 71 million youth worldwide are unemployed, while over half a billion are under-employed, or stuck in uncertain or precarious jobs. 

This is why we launched Nestlé Needs YOUth, now our global youth initiative. Through it we’ve helped prepare hundreds of thousands of young people for work, trained and supported over 4 million farmers, and helped 2 million women develop business skills.

We’ve also offered young people tens of thousands of apprenticeships, traineeships and job opportunities. And this is just the start! Our commitments support our new ambition: to help 10 million young people worldwide access economic opportunities by 2030. 

We’ve also founded the Alliance for YOUth, as a business-driven movement that helps prepare young people for working life and improve their job prospects. 

Investing in today’s youth is a win for everybody’s future – for our business, local communities and the planet. Nestlé Needs YOUth, Nestlé needs YOU!

Promoting good nutrition to parents and caregivers

Adopting good nutrition practices from an early age is essential to becoming a healthy adult. However, establishing healthy eating, drinking and lifestyle habits is not always easy or intuitive for parents and caregivers.

Nestlé Start Healthy Stay Healthy helps parents understand what and how to feed their baby in the first 1000 days of life. In line with WHO recommendations, it promotes exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life, followed by the introduction of nutritious foods that complement sustained breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond.

For children and adolescents, our large-scale grassroots and online programmes provide parents and caregivers with practical tools and solutions to help them raise healthier kids. In collaboration with over 300 partners worldwide, our school-dedicated module empowers teachers and children with nutrition education and promotes healthy lifestyles in the school environment.

A robust ‘Marketing Communication to Children’ policy

Our communication is supported by an industry-leading Policy on Marketing Communication to Children (pdf, 6Mb). All communication to children follows responsible marketing principles and is limited to foods and beverages meeting specific nutritional profiles.

More nutritious food and beverages for children and families

Every year, we sell over 360 billion servings of foods and beverages in 189 countries around the world. To ensure our brands support healthier lifestyles, we have made forward-looking commitments to reduce sodium, sugars and saturated fats, and add healthy ingredients like fibre- rich grains, vegetables and micronutrients to our foods and beverages across all categories.

In 2017, we have launched over 1000 new products which meet the nutritional needs of children. In the same year, we provided over 174 billion servings of fortified foods and beverages in countries where people lack vital micronutrients such as iodine or iron.

Ensuring our products are both nutritious and tasty can be challenging. With both the passion of our employees and our industry-leading innovation, we are focusing our efforts on delivering even more nutritious food and beverages for children and families.

Understanding the nutritional needs and gaps of children

 

We know that good nutrition in early childhood lays the foundation for a child's lifelong health & wellbeing. Through Nestlé for Healthier Kids, we seek a deeper understanding of the dietary intake, lifestyle habits and health status of infants and children.

The findings from our large-scale research projects, such as the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Studies (FITS) and the Kids Nutrition and Health Studies (KNHS), help define our product developments, consumer communication and educational programmes, and inform dialogue with the scientific and medical communities.
