Nestlé
Nestlé is one of the world’s largest food and beverage company according to revenues. It is a Swiss company and its headquarters are in Vevey, Switzerland.
Nestlé has the function for processing and manufacturing food.
The Nestlé R & D Network carries out research and development in order to improve and create products, and manufacturing processes that ensures the needs of consumers are met that high quality of the products is kept, so that strong competition between other companies e.g. Cadbury is persistent. Nestlé also encourages employees to make suggestions where possible changes can be made to ensure that Nestlé products are top quality.
In order to keep high quality Nestlé implements extensive pest controls, hygiene practices and Nestlé also adopts the ‘Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points’ (HACCP) system. The HACCP allows Nestlé employees to identity a hazard and eliminate the risks that may occur in the production, manufacturing and handling of food not only in the factory, but across the food chain. In order for hazards to be recognised and eliminated, physical, chemical and biological aspects of food must be assessed. If a hazard is detected, critical control points are implemented and risks are banished.
Nestlé is committed to ensure that good nutritional choices are made by the consumer in order to carry out a healthy lifestyle. As their slogan says ‘GOOD FOOD, GOOD LIFE’ Nestlé ensures that it meets demands and need for various groups they cater for. For example Lean Cuisine meals are for people on the go or live busy lives. Nestlé recognises different social, political and cultural traditions around the world; therefore not all Nestlé products will be the same in every country.
Nestlé developed Environmental and Management System which attempts to minimise waste, pollution and saving energy and resources on all levels of operation. Nestlé has established a ‘Water and Environmental Sustainability Policy (1991)’ which enforces that preserving natural resources and minimising wastes is an integrate part of Nestlé operations. Nestlé contributes $20000 (AUD) a year, that aims to rehabilitate or sustain the environment.
Nestlé’s input into the Australian economy will vary year to year, as it is dependent upon the nest profit that is distributed across shareholders. Nestlé spends its costs on transportation, company taxes, packaging, and depreciation of plants, animals, equipment and total company wages.
In order to put the Nestlé slogan ‘GOOD FOOD, GOOD LIFE’ into practice, Nestlé has created many community programs that allow people to be recognised.
