Nestlé's CSV commitment to Nutrition | Nestlé

Inside the challenge

 

The double burden of malnutrition is increasingly affecting children and women of reproductive age in Central and West Africa. This may be due to an absence of vital micronutrients in their diets, such as vitamin A, zinc, iron or iodine, causing stunting in growth and a lower resistance to infection. Simultaneously, obesity rates are increasing in children aged under five. 

The impact of the rising rates of neonatal mortality and non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, are also affecting the health and well-being of the African population. While the rate of mothers who are exclusively breastfeeding their children up to the age of six months is below global rates. 

Our ambition is to be the leading nutrition, health and wellness company worldwide and we look to address these challenges. 

Nestlé has been providing safe and quality nutrition for 150 years and we aim to continue offering our consumers nutritious and tasty food and beverage choices, at every stage of life. We also seek to promote healthy lifestyles,while building collective nutritional knowledge by working with public health authorities and organisations.
