Message from the Managing Director

   
We have a long and proud history in South Africa having established our first operation 93 years ago. This has made our company a part of South Africa’s way of life and we continue to build our legacy of manufacturing nutritious food, with great taste, convenience and price but most importantly, manufactured under the best quality standards.

Our priority still remains our consumers, who we believe are at the heart of our existence. While we are a global company with the highest track record in quality standards that are never compromised, we however, tailor our products to suit local needs and desires and ensure that our products are always at the right place and at the right time.

Quality is the cornerstone of our success and safety of our products is a non-negotiable priority for us. Every day millions of consumers all over the world show their confidence in us by choosing Nestlé products.

This confidence is based on our quality image and a reputation for high standards that has been built over many years and the Nestlé brand name on a product is a promise to you that it is safe to consume and complies with both local and international regulations. You can rely on our trusted brands.

Of course, there is more to business than just doing business. To show our commitment to all our stakeholders and increase their trust in Nestlé, we have embraced a business principle called Creating Shared Value (CSV), which is a declaration that, for us to be successful in the long term we have to create value not only for our shareholders but also for people in the communities where we do business.

This is a fundamental part of our business strategy and it means we will always comply with Nestlé’s business principles, national laws and International norms and ensure that our actions are environmentally sound, socially just and economically viable. For that reason, we will always be responsive to the needs of our communities, and ultimately, our consumers.

I would like to sincerely thank you, our valued consumers, for your continued support in ensuring that we become a leading Nutrition, Health and Wellness company.

Here’s to Good Food, Good Life.
