American entrepreneurs George and Charles Page from Lee County, Illinois, built Europe’s first condensed milk factory in 1866 when they founded the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. When the company merged with rival Henri Nestlé, who in 1867 began selling his life-saving infant cereal in Vevey, Switzerland, the Nestlé and Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company was born. Since then, Nestlé in the U.S. has contributed to the growth, innovation, and success that has defined the global company for over 150 years. Creating Shared Value Creating Shared Value (CSV) is the fundamental guiding principle for how Nestlé does business across the globe and we are committed to creating that same shared value in the U.S. CSV is the strategy tool that Nestlé uses to operate in a way that is good for the business, while creating value for shareholders and for society. This is how we bring our purpose to life — to enhance quality of life and contribute to a healthier future. We have identified three pillars to maximize our impact. Individuals and families, our communities and the planet as a whole are interconnected, and our efforts in each of these areas are supported through our CSV commitments. In turn, these commitments enable us to meet our ambitions for 2030 in line with the timescale of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As a food company, addressing climate change is not only a business imperative, as extreme weather patterns continue to impact our raw material supply chains, but also critical in our target to improve livelihoods in communities connected to our business. To achieve our ambition, we are pioneering renewable energy alternatives, scaling up initiatives in agriculture to absorb more carbon, and innovating across our portfolio to include more products with a better environmental footprint. In the U.S., we are also advocating for policies that inspire the development and use of cleaner energy alternatives. Learn more about our climate goals.
