    Nestlé in the United States Meeting Society’S Needs by Creating Shared Value Letter from the Ceos

    Nestlé in the United States Meeting society’s needs by Creating Shared Value Letter From the CEOs At Nestlé, we are committed to becoming the very best Nutrition, Health and Wellness company. Achieving this means doing more than just providing consumers and their pets with great-tasting, nutritious food and beverages. It means creating value for our employees, customers, consumers and their families, as well as society at large. We call this approach Creating Shared Value. Creating Shared Value is a way of doing business that goes beyond philanthropy. It is a basic principle of our business strategy and fundamental to our overall success as a company. For our business to prosper in the long term, we must create value for shareholders and society in a manner that is integrally linked to our core business strategies and operations. Globally, Nestlé’s Creating Shared Value focuses on the areas of nutrition, water and rural development. • Since its founding in Switzerland more than 140 years ago, Nestlé has achieved long-term profi table growth by providing nutritious products that improve the health of its consumers. As a result, Nestlé today is the world’s largest Nutrition, Health and Wellness company. • A business must operate in an environmentally sustainable manner, in a way that provides for current needs without compromising the Earth’s resources for use and enjoyment by future generations. Nestlé works diligently in this area, with a special focus on water resources. • Economic development, particularly rural development, is key to improving the lives of farmers and rural communities. Nestlé has been contributing to economic development over many decades, primarily through our work with farmers and through our 456 factories, half of which are in the developing world, and most of which are in rural areas.

More than half of all bottled waters flunked. Bottom line? Drink plenty of water, but avoid bottled water when you can. It pollutes the environment and is often nothing more than tap water.

    PARTE 1: ANÁLISIS DE LA SITUACIÓN INTERNA DE LA EMPRESA 1.1) Descripción de la empresa 1.1.1 Origen de la empresa Nestlé fue fundada en Suiza en 1866, por Henri Nestlé, químico de origen alemán establecido en Vevey. Se interesaba por la alimentación infantil y desarrolló una harina a base a leche y cereales tostados, destinada a los bebés que no podían ser alimentados por sus madres. Creó un producto revolucionario que será rápidamente conocido en todo el mundo bajo el nombre de "Harina Lacteada Nestlé". Actualmente la Compañía mantiene el nombre de quién fuera su fundador: Henri Nestlé. El logo que identifica a la empresa en todo el mundo, y que se utiliza desde 1868: "un nido en el que un pájaro alimenta a sus pequeños". Hoy Nestlé ocupa la posición nº 31 entre las compañías más importantes del mundo, y la nº 8 entre las compañías más importantes de Europa. 1 1.1.2 Historia y evolución de la empresa 1905 – Nestlé es el resultado de la unión en 1905 de la compañía Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk, fundada en 1866, con (Harina Lacteada) Nestlé S.A., fundada en 1867 por Henri Nestlé. 1929 – Nestlé se unió con Peter-Cailler-Kohler. Daniel Peter fue uno de los fundadores de Peter-Cailler-Kohler que inventó el chocolate de leche en 1875. 1938 – Se inventó Nescafé en este año.
