USA | The Nestlé Creating Shared Value (CSV) Council, an external advisory group to Nestlé’s Executive Board, has appointed Council member Rob Cameron as its new chair.
Through its Creating Shared Value approach, Nestlé links societal progress with business growth. Cameron will succeed Janet Voûte, who has chaired the Council for more than 10 years.
Creating value for communities as well as for shareholders strengthens Nestlé’s brands, aligning long-term business success with meaningful impact for people, communities and the planet.
The CSV Council supports this work by advising the Executive Board on topics such as balanced diets, regenerative agriculture, climate action and livelihoods. The Council’s ten external members bring expertise in strategy, sustainability, nutrition, water, biodiversity, food systems and rural development.
“The CSV Council provides us with invaluable insights, guidance and recommendations, as we work to create value for all Nestlé stakeholders,” said Philipp Navratil, CEO of Nestlé.
“I would like to thank Janet for her leadership over more than a decade and for helping us embed CSV across Nestlé. I am confident that Rob will build on this work, as we advance our ambitions on nutrition, regenerative agriculture and climate action.”
As part of its CSV approach, Nestlé aims to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent and source 50 percent of its key ingredient volumes from farmers adopting regenerative agriculture practices, both by 2030. The company is also continuing its work to reduce and improve its packaging and support the shift to circular systems.
As a food and beverage producer, Nestlé aims to help make tasty, balanced diets more accessible by continuously improving its portfolio and expanding its affordable nutrition portfolio with more micronutrient-fortified foods and beverages.
