Abstract

Nestlé, as a global leader in the food and beverage industry, plays a pivotal role in addressing critical challenges related to food security, climate change, and consumer health. This paper examines Nestlé's strategies and initiatives aimed at contributing to global food security by enhancing sustainable agricultural practices, reducing food waste, and promoting responsible sourcing. The study also explores the company's efforts to mitigate the impact of climate change through carbon reduction initiatives, sustainable packaging, and energy-efficient operations. Additionally, Nestlé's focus on consumer health is analyzed, highlighting its commitment to offering nutritious products, promoting healthy lifestyles, and reducing harmful ingredients such as sugar and salt in its offerings. By evaluating Nestlé's multi-faceted approach, this paper underscores the company's potential to influence positive change at the intersection of food security, environmental sustainability, and public health, while also identifying areas for future improvement and broader impact.
