Food and beverages play an increasingly important role in people's lives. What people eat and drink – and how – affects how they live their lives. Moreover, each person's nutritional and social requirements are different.

Thus, our consumers benefit greatly from Nestlé's commitment to providing products that go beyond taste and convenience, and integrate health, nutrition and wellness, at every stage in life.

We have created two key units to further this project: the Corporate Wellness Unit and Nestlé Nutrition.

The Corporate Wellness Unit drives the health, nutrition and wellness dimension by providing wellness-related tools and solutions. We have devised the world's first global nutritional labelling system: the Nutritional Compass. (Play animation below to see an example of the Nutritional Compass in practice.)

Already printed on food and beverage packs accounting for half our global sales, it gives our consumers relevant information on nutritional content, as well as nutritional tips and contact information for our consumer services.

Nestlé Nutrition focuses on three main areas: Infant Nutrition, HealthCare Nutrition and Performance Nutrition. It aims to launch innovative scientifically based products, such as Clinutren repair, a nutritional supplement that aids wound healing.

We hope to cater to the specific needs of every consumer, to enable them to lead healthy, productive and enjoyable lives.
