Water is one of Nestlé's shared value focus areas as the ongoing quality and availability of this resource is critical to life, the production of food, and to the Company's operations.
Rural development is one of Nestlé's shared value focus areas as the overall wellbeing of farmers, rural communities, small entrepreneurs and suppliers are intrinsic to the long-term success of our business.
The objective of the Nestlé Healthy Kids Global Programme is to raise nutrition and health knowledge and promote physical activity among school-age children around the world.
Healthy Kids programmes are based on multi-partnership approaches. They are designed and implemented in collaboration with national health authorities, child nutrition experts and/or education authorities and health experts. Nestlé works together with over 250 partners worldwide, including national and local governments, NGOs, nutrition health institutes and sport federations. The EPODE International Network and the International Association of Athletics Federation are Nestlé Healthy Kids Global Partners and support the development of the programme.
By the end of 2012, there were 68 programmes running in 64 countries. Together, these programmes have reached an estimated 5.4 million kids in 2012.
