Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at Nestlé
At Nestlé, we are committed to leveraging our individual differences and treating each other with dignity and respect. By fostering an inclusive environment, we know we can unlock a wider range of perspectives and ideas that drive innovation, improve problem-solving capabilities, and create a place where our employees feel a sense of community and belonging.
As individual leaders and as a group, we share a commitment to keep building a culture that embraces all. We know that when our people are at their best, Nestlé is at its best. While many of our programs are shared by our operating companies, each of them have something unique to offer.
At Nestlé USA, we are committed to leveraging our individual differences and treating each other with dignity and respect. By fostering an inclusive environment, we know we can unlock a wider range of perspectives and ideas that drive innovation, improve problem-solving capabilities, and create a place where our employees feel a sense of unique community and belonging.
With a history as innovative as ours, it’s clear our company relies on the unique points of view of our employees.
Our diverse team is made up of 90 different nationalities. But no matter the role, we focus more on who you are than where you’re from. Because to us, caring about our work is your most important qualification. So, if you’re driven by quality, are excited to try new ideas, and never hide what you care about, you will be a perfect fit on any of our teams.
We seek to strengthen the voice of women in every area we are a part of. Their view can even help us succeed in unexpected ways. For example, in coffee field operations, we have learned that the presence of female agronomists is key for the participation of women farmers in training.
By sharing the celebration of our differences, we make a bigger difference in this world. Working together, #WeStandTaller.
Being a part of the DE&I community within Nestlé has helped me embrace and appreciate diversity in the workplace. It’s impactful initiatives have created a sense of representation, community, and equity that has fostered inclusivity of diverse cultures.
Nestlé’s environment has helped me to be my complete self at work. As a person with a disability that is both visible and invisible, it can make it hard to feel seen for myself or to be myself every single day. Nestlé gave me the platform to teach not only my co-workers, but the company about my story and has helped to bring my whole self to work day in and day out. It’s a really great feeling!
Nestlé has taken the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion seriously! I feel seen, heard, and appreciated as an employee. I applaud the company and leadership for stepping up and standing out when it comes to DE&I.
At Nestlé, we have the fantastic chance to work with so many different amazing people, from amazing cultures, and one of a kind backgrounds! This is all available to us in a quick call with your peer on the other side of the world, during a relocation or a mission, and at the coffee station in the office. I’ve learned different points of view at Nestlé because of all the different teams I’ve had a chance to work with.
Nestlé is creating an environment where change is being embraced. People are willing to constantly learn how to recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate our differences. At work, I don’t feel like I need to leave who I am or what I’m going through checked at the door. We are cultivating a workplace that understands our lives affect our jobs.
