1 INTRODUCTION
“How can Nestlé drive their agricultural supply chains towards ethical
responsibility that helps farmers improve rights and livelihoods?”
1.3 Attention
1.4 Objectives
Nestlé has 447 factories, sources from 4.1 million family farmers,
employs 205,000 people from vulnerable communities from across over
50 countries. Therefore, it is inevitable for Nestlé to ensure farmers are
sufficiently invested in with great places to live and work. (Nestlé, 2015).
The aim of the research proposal is to recognise appropriate approaches
Nestlé has accomplished and identify gaps between its business practices
and social needs that might be present for improvements in its supply
chains, in order to attain these ultimate missions: boosting health,
improving lives, and communities as a preferred corporate employer.
Overall findings and key takeaways are also summarised in this research.

3 METHODOLOGY
4 MAIN CONCEPTS
In rural areas and along the entire value chain, the global food giant has
invested technical assistance, training benefits, high-yield techniques,
and disease resistant practices in more than 130,000 women as of today.
The “Nestlé Action Plan on Women in the Cocoa Supply Chain” is the first
commodity-focused gambit among many other initiatives of the Nestlé
Cocoa Plan to intensify support for peasant women. (Nestlé Cocoa Plan,
n.d).
To help millions of people who are living in extreme poverty navigate and
overcome barriers of unemployment, Nestlé is governing these three
global tactics: Global youth initiative, Global Alliance for YOUth, Nestlé
Gender Balance Acceleration Plan. Together with its locations expansion,
the Swiss brand is teaming up with foundations, organizations, academia,
and private sectors all over the world to provide work for the next
generation farmers and agricultural seasonal workers. Specifically, Global
Alliance for YOUth has relieved the redundancy burdens across
demographics. In defiance of young people’s lack of experience, it offers
tuition, economic opportunities and encourage them to become
entrepreneurs. The projects are set to bring together 21 international
companies to help employ 15 million youths by 2022 and further benefit
10 million by 2030. (Nestlé, n.d.b).
the table and examined in regular sessions. As a clear impact, the project
has demonstrated Nestlé’s achievements to refine vulnerable farmers’
livelihoods with accessible drinkable water and cleaner local
surroundings. Their lives have been fundamentally made better from
Nestlé’s water efficiency and management. Nowadays, the multinational
enterprise persists in this endeavour by concentrating to direct the
flagship Caring for Water strategy in four substantial areas: agricultural
supply chains, communities, factories, and watersheds. (Nestlé, 2020,
p.44-48).
