Competitive advantages of nestle



Competitive advantages of nestle
Research and Development is a key competitive advantage for Nestlé. Without our R&D Nestlé could not have become the food industry leader in nutrition, health and wellness.
With 32 research, development and technology facilities worldwide, Nestlé has the largest R&D network of any food company. Nestlé’s research, development and technology network, together with local market application groups, employs over 5,000 people.
Nestlé further strengthens its R&D capability through Innovation Partnerships at each stage of the product development process – from early stage collaborations with start up and biotech companies to late stage partnerships with its key suppliers.
By bringing together all of its global R&D resources, Nestlé is able to provide high quality, safe food solutions for consumers worldwide – whether this is in terms of nutrition, health, wellness, taste, texture or convenience. Above all, Nestlé brings to consumers products that are of the highest quality. And safety is non-negotiable.
R&D is also critical in ensuring regulatory compliance of all Nestlé products. Nestlé is able to launch new products quickly and efficiently, in countries all over the world, by integrating regulatory affairs in all its R&D activities, from start to finish.
Nestlé scientists also play their part in communicating the health and wellness benefits of products to consumers. Nestlé nutritionists world-wide work to ensure that all nutrition communication, both on and off pack, is locally relevant, as well as scientifically sound.
Beyond sound nutrition, the future of foods will increasingly be driven by science. Nestlé scientists are looking ahead to the foods of the future. Nestlé R&D is translating nutrition and food science in two ways:
• From consumer needs into research priorities
• From emerging science into consumer benefits, and services.
The vision of Nestlé R&D is long term. A glimpse of how Nestlé R&D is helping to shape the future of foods is provided through these internet pages.

1.       Primary Activities

a.       Inbound Logistics
Implementing the Nestlé Supplier Code
Driving compliance, sustainability and Creating Shared Value
We seek to source raw materials responsibly by helping suppliers to develop sustainable and ethical practices. This is important in our overall approach to rural development because through our Responsible Sourcing activity, we want to help develop the agricultural supply chain and safeguard and enhance farmer incomes, thereby contributing to farms and communities thriving over the long term.
The Nestlé Supplier Code
The Nestlé Supplier Code distils relevant parts of our Corporate Business Principles, outlining for suppliers the non-negotiable minimum standards that we expect from them: on business integrity, human rights (including forced and child labour), sustainability, labour, safety and health, environment and use of natural resources. We ask our suppliers, their employees, agents and sub-contractors to adhere to these standards at all times, and we monitor implementation through our Responsible Sourcing Audit Programm. Our Supplier Code is aligned with credible, internationally recognised responsible production standards and provides fair compensation for suppliers.
• 96% of suppliers, key vendors and quality suppliers are compliant with Nestlé’s sourcing policy [KPI].
• 75.2% of our purchased volume is compliant with the Nestlé Supplier Code [KPI].
For agricultural raw materials and packaging materials that we source through complex trade channels, we promote compliance with the Nestlé Supplier Code through a two-staged programm:
1. Our Responsible Sourcing Audit Programm for key suppliers.
2. Our Responsible Sourcing Traceability Programm, which is a recent addition to the Responsible Sourcing Audit Programm, focused on promoting compliance with the Code in extended supply chains, back to the origin.
