Nestlé Hong Kong Creating Shared Value
What is Creating Shared Value?
Creating Shared Value means a company addresses social needs while developing new business opportunities. Creating Shared Value is an integral part of the business development at Nestlé which includes compliance and sustainable development, from nutrition, water management and agricultural community development in core business areas, to optimization of the common value of society and shareholders.
Integrating “Creating Shared Value” into corporate strategy is fundamental to how we do business at Nestlé. We can only contribute to the long-term benefits of our shareholders by creating value for society.
Working with Partners
Nestlé Hong Kong actively communicates with local NGOs and other partners and establishes partnerships with them, aiming to jointly promote corporate social responsibility, build an inclusive society, and care for the people in need in society.
Promoting Volunteer Services
While developing business and providing consumers with healthy and delicious products, Nestlé Hong Kong is also committed to giving back to society, actively encouraging employees to participate in volunteer activities in order to help those who are in need, such as under-privileged families, students in sheltered workshops, and the elderly. We also support Hong Kong’s large-scale events that bring care to the community. At the same time, Nestlé Hong Kong also promotes the spirit of charitable donation through product donations and sponsorship.
Nestlé Hong Kong has received recognition from the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) by awarding the Caring Company Scheme for many consecutive years, recognizing our contributions to society.
Environmental Protection
Nestlé Hong Kong is committed on corporate social responsibilities in sustainable development and environmental protection. Therefore, we are committed to incorporating environmental protection into our daily operations and creating shared value in our communities. For example, we donated computers and computer accessories to local NGOs to reduce waste and encourage recycling, while helping the disadvantaged to integrate into the information society.
Help to Create a Friendly Workplace
People are important assets of our company. Nestlé Hong Kong is committed to creating a safe, healthy and happy working environment for our employees. We have implemented different family-friendly measures in the company, hoping to promote work-life balance of our employees and enhance their engagement in work. Nestlé Hong Kong also received the “Happiness-at-work” award which was organized by the Promoting Happiness Index Foundation (the Foundation) and the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) for recognizing our efforts of providing an ideal working environment for our employees.
