  1. Partnerships for Peace: Nestlé S. A. in the Developing Nations

  2. “The most dangerous place in the world”: India and Pakistan • There are few places in the world where the destruction of nuclear warfare is a real possibility. • Pakistan is one of them.

  3. Earthquakes add to the danger • The country is naturally mountainous, isolated, prone to earthquakes. • Here, a mountain of earthquake relief that Nestlé sent in 2003-4

  4. Aid to the poor continues • The poor will always be with us, and suffer especially in natural disasters. • Nestlé continues to supply food aid for poor children.

  5. But Partnerships are sustainable • In Scripture, Charity never fails. • But in the corporate world, charity doesn’t take us very far. • In Nestlé’s partnerships, there is every reason for the corporation, under any new leadership, to continue working with the farmers in whom they invested. • Both sides win, and situations of conflict caused by economic uncertainty can be resolved.

  6. Help through Partnership • Nestle started a dairy operation in the Punjab, giving the farmers a consistent, reliable way to make a living. • In a genuine innovation, it trained women as agricultural extension workers.

  7. Sustainable Technology • A new village well can save lives by providing clean water, • And thousands of hours of labor a week, which fell mostly to the women, carrying water.

  8. Nestlé and the Colombia farmers

  9. From the ravages of civil war … • Colombia has been racked by conflict for many years. • Rebel armies fought government soldiers; there were atrocities on both sides. • When a truce prevailed, the next question was, how shall we employ the demobilized militias—so this doesn’t happen again?

  10. … to Sustainable Agriculture • The militia veterans had to be given good work. • Farming was what they knew. • Usual crop: coca. • Nestlé’s idea: dairy farming. • Caqueta as model.

  11. Partnership for peace • Nestlé set the farmers up in business. • Now the farmers have a good living, • And Nestlé buys abundant high quality milk, • And the nation has peace. • This is a true partnership, not charity. "Thank goodness Nestlé established and extended its presence in the region. My testimony is one of gratitude and an invitation to motivate and encourage the involvement of families in (milk) farming; with all the additional security, development and well-being that job creation brings with it". MonsJorge Alberto Ossa, Obispo de Florencia Caquetá Colombia

  12. What is Sustainable Agriculture? • Agriculture is sustainable if its outputs are greater than its inputs, in economic and ecological terms: • It must make a living for those who live on it; • It must not damage or degrade the natural capital of the region; • It must not abuse or degrade the people who live on its product.

  13. The Triple Bottom Line • To be sustainable, agriculture must be ethically defensible, economically viable, and environmentally invisible—leaving no permanent footprint on the earth. • This idea was pioneered (in this form) by John Elkington, in Cannibals with Forks.

  14. Across the Ocean to Nigeria

  15. Helping Nigerian farmers • Sometimes all it takes is some simple machine, • Like this small thresher, to be used with many crops, • Saving hours of backbreaking labor.

  16. Nigeria is not a “poor” country • It has enormous wealth in the form of oil; • It has a small but plucky middle class; • And it has a history of terrible conflict, wars among the tribes for historic reasons (ancient hatreds) and for economic reasons (competition for the oil wealth). • Is there anything that the developed nations—or private parties in the developed nations—can do to help Nigeria live in peace?

  17. "The Academy" and "The Station" • The story of just such an effort. • Partnership with Search for Common Ground, an NGO working for peace. • Reality TV where cross section of society addresses conflict situations on screen • Shared value for Nestlé (brand awareness/penetration) • ...and Society (positive role modeling) • Recognized two years running by Clinton Global Initiative
