BIZ BUZZ: Nestle wants you to #ChooseGood

Nestle Philippines marked Earth Day this year in a special way, by launching its #ChooseGood campaign.

Chair and CEO Kais Marzouki described it as the company’s way of “demonstrating how our people, products and programs are driving positive change.”

It is the latest demonstration of what Marzouki described as the Nestle Philippines’ “passion to make a real difference – for Filipinos and our planet.”

“Leading our ESG (environmental, social and governance) efforts isn’t just a job; what started out as a corporate responsibility has become a personal mission that gives my work so much meaning,” Marzouki shared.

Nestle Philippines demonstrates this promise through, among others, manufacturing products using renewable electricity, reducing use of virgin plastic, and collecting the equivalent amount of plastic waste that is put out in the market.

Nestle has also fully transitioned to 100-percent renewable electricity in manufacturing. The journey now is to transition distribution centers and supply chain transport to renewable energy – a critical move toward achieving Net Zero by 2050.
