In the 137 year life of Nestlé, our fundamental approach to business has been the creation of long term sustainable value for our consumers, customers, employees, shareholders and society as a whole. The Nestlé Corporate Business Principles lay out our basic responsibilities to these stakeholders and openly state that we favour long-term business development over short term profit. They include all nine principles of the UN Global Compact regarding labour standards, human rights, and the environment.
