Nestlé’s Responsible Sourcing Program Is Founded On Three Key Documents
The Nestlé Supplier Code is derived from our Corporate Business Principles and specify the minimum requirements we ask our
suppliers to respect when doing business with Nestlé
The Nestlé Responsible Sourcing Guideline is derived from our Nestlé Supplier Code and defines additional category specific
requirements that we ask our suppliers to implement when doing business with Nestlé

Measuring Animal Welfare
We will support and implement actions to promote animal health and welfare, and eliminate practices which contravene the “Five Freedoms,” and tackle the root causes of those practices. In particular, we will initially focus upon:
• For cattle: dehorning; tail docking; disbudding and castration without anesthetic and analgesia; veal crates; permanent tethering
• For pigs: gestation crates; tail docking; surgical castration
• For poultry and eggs: cage systems, particularly barren battery cages; fast-growing practices
• For animal production systems in general: our first focus is the responsible use of antibiotics, in line with OIE’s guidance, and the phasing out of the use of growth promoters

Global Animal Welfare Approach
2015• Conduct Farm assessments to determine the prevalence of
undesired animal welfare practices in the Nestlé supply chain– 400 Dairy farm assessments global target– 600 M/P/E farm assessment global target
2016• Begin remediation to close the gaps between any undesirable
farm practices found in the 2015 assessments vs. the desired animal welfare practices Nestlé has committed to

Animal Welfare Farm Assessments
• The assessments in the meat-poultry-egg and dairy categories are done by the SGS audit company with support from the Nestlé NGO partner World Animal Protection.
