Nestlé

Switzerland

In 2012, Nestlé became the first company in the food industry to join FLA, working toward accreditation for the company’s sourcing programs for hazelnuts and cocoa. In October 2022, the FLA Board of Directors approved the inclusion of Nestlé coffee in the FLA Agriculture Program, with a roadmap to individually accredit the three coffee sourcing programs: NespressoAAA Sustainability Quality Program, The Nescafe Plan, and Blue Bottle Coffee Sustainability Program.

Nestlé’s mission is to enhance consumers’ lives by offering tastier and healthier food and beverage choices for all stages of life and at any time of the day. True to our values and principles we also Create Shared Value through sustainable growth and a commitment to environmental sustainability and compliance along every step of the value chain. Nestlé’s promise is Good Food, Good Life.
