at Nestlé For a company to be successful in the long term and create value for its shareholders, it must also create value for society. We call this Creating Shared Value (CSV). Creating Shared Value encourages businesses to create economic and social value simultaneously by focusing on the social issues that they are uniquely capable of addressing. In 2006, Nestlé became the first organisation to adopt this approach, but our history of working together with society stems back to our roots. For maximum impact, Nestlé has focused its Creating Shared Value efforts and investments on three areas – nutrition, water and rural development – as these are core to our business activities and vital for our value chain. CSV builds on a strong base of performance in environmental sustainability and compliance, as illustrated in the CSV Pyramid above. In addition, we recognise the vital role of our people and the importance of engaging and collaborating with other organisations. www.nestle.com/CSV 4 Nestlé Creating Shared Value Report 2011 Creating Shared Nutrition Rural Water Environmental Compliance Our people Value at Nestlé development sustainability CSV at Nestlé Overview A message from our Chairman and CEO Our performance Material issues Stakeholder engagement CSV advisory board Downloads Nestlé Prize The Nestlé Prize in Creating Shared Value (CSV) is awarded every other year to encourage and reward innovative projects. Chairman & CEO “We strongly believe that for a company to be successful in the long term, it must create value to its shareholders and, at the same time, to the communities where it operates and to society at large.” www.nestle.com/CSV 5 Nestlé Creating Shared Value Report 2011 Creating Shared Nutrition Rural Water Environmental Compliance Our people Value at Nestlé development sustainability Overview Creating Shared Value (CSV) is a holistic and sustainable approach to business, which addresses the needs of society, while meeting the needs of shareholders. Since its foundation in 1866, Nestlé has always been concerned with its impact on the surrounding environment and communities, adopting the highest Swiss standards in all of its global operations. As a result, our corporate culture has been built on the belief that in order for us to succeed as a business, we need to ensure that the communities and environment around us also prosper. CSV formalises this belief, translating it into a series of concrete and progressive measures and goals, and reporting on these to ensure we continually improve our positive impact as well as highlighting the challenges we face. We have many CSV activities that have been in operation for several years and even decades; as we adapt our approach to fit the needs of the local communities where we operate we can draw upon this wide range of experience as we continue to extend our impact. The Nestlé CSV Pyramid CSV builds on a strong base of performance in environmental sustainability, and compliance with international laws and codes of conduct as well as our own business principles. Together, these make up the core dimensions of our business approach, as illustrated below. Creating Shared Value As the first organisation to adopt CSV, this constructive approach to business is now well established at Nestlé. Spanning our entire global operation, the scale and reach of our activities gives us considerable experience on which to build. For maximum impact, we have focused our CSV efforts and investments on three areas where we believe there is the greatest opportunity to drive value for our shareholders and society at the same time. These are: www.nestle.com/CSV 6 Nestlé Creating Shared Value Report 2011 Creating Shared Nutrition Rural Water Environmental Compliance Our people Value at Nestlé development sustainability Nutrition As the world’s leading nutrition, health and wellness company, we believe that our future lies in helping people to eat a healthier diet.

In 2015 Americans will consume R more than 1.8 billion cups of single-serve a month. European roasters will produce nearly as many espresso capsules and tea blenders will fill several billion sin- gle-serve tea capsules. On both continents portion packs are quickly replacing ground and instant coffee and eroding sales of specialty tea in pyramid bags. The new normal Roasting, grinding, packaging and marketing coffee in portion packs is the new normal for coffee manufacturers supplying millions of in-home and office brewers. Market penetration remains thin in food service but deals like Subway’s purchase of Keurig’s Bolt brewers for its 20,000 U.S. outlets suggest that is changing as well. Sourcing, roasting and blending are little changed but single-serve demands great “Grinding is a crucial step flexibility in packaging and significantly greater precision and new techniques for grind- ing, filling and packing capsules. in coffee processing and, The first hurdle for roasters was to replicate with consistency the flavor profile of when done properly, can the most popular blends from big brands like Folgers and Starbucks.
