Nestlé enhances supply chain transparency by sharing list of suppliers
According to the company, these commodities cover 95% of Nestlé's annual sourcing of raw materials.
"Consumers want to know what is in their food and where it comes from. Therefore, transparency in our supply chains is essential, and we will continue to lead in this area. Following the public disclosure of our palm oil and pulp and paper supply chains last year, we are now pleased to release supply chain information for soya, meat (beef, pork, veal, lamb/mutton)*, hazelnuts and vanilla," said Magdi Batato, executive vice president, head of operations, Nestlé.
"By mid-2019, we will also publish the supply chain information for our other priority commodities, which include seafood, coconut, vegetables, spices, coffee, cocoa, dairy, poultry**, eggs**, cereals and sugar," he added.
The disclosure includes the list of direct (tier 1) suppliers, upstream locations and country of origins as well as total volume sourced for each commodity. Nestlé refers to this plan as the first disclosure of its kind in the industry.
