Nestlé consistently states that health and good nutrition are at the core of its strategic aims, “applying its expertise in nutrition, health and wellness to help people live happier, healthier lives".

However, Nestlé relies heavily on the sales of less healthy foods, which have a major impact on public health.

Investors want to see a strategic shift to reduce over-reliance on the sale of less healthy foods, mitigating the risks these expose the company to, and capitalising on growing demand for healthier products.

This resolution supports that aim, requiring the company to set targets to increase sales of healthier products in both absolute and relative terms, while correctly applying government-endorsed methodology.
