Nestlé webpage on its objectives & progress on human rights

In 2013, we trained a further 6650 employees on human rights, in nine FTSE4Good countries of concern. Since the launch of our online human rights training tool in 2011, 37 768 employees have been trained across 64 countries. We are the first multinational company to issue a public report on Human Rights Impact Assessment. In May 2014, we organised a stakeholder consultation on our approach to human rights and rural development, including the nexus between these two topics in the context of Nestlé’s business activities.  The roundtable gathered twenty human rights and rural development experts from NGOs, intergovernmental organisations, think tanks, consultancies and trade associations. The Danish Institute for Human Rights facilitated the panel discussion on Human Rights Impact Assessments. SustainAbility acted as rapporteur...In 2013, Nestlé began implementing a new Rural Development Framework that...included detailed human rights indicators for our supply chain....Our detailed Human Rights Due Diligence Programme is already helping us to address...human rights issues.
