VEVEY, Switzerland - Monday, October 27th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nominations for the 2016 Nestlé Creating Shared Value Prize are now being accepted.
The closing date is 28 February 2015.
Winners
will win up to CHF 500,000 - an investment that could make a
significant difference in helping to scale up or replicate
business-oriented initiatives addressing challenges in nutrition, water
or rural development.
About the Prize
The Nestlé CSV Prize is
awarded every second year. Its overall aim is to reward the best
examples of Creating Shared Value (CSV) initiatives worldwide and to
encourage others to adopt this approach. CSV runs deep throughout
Nestlé’s global operations and is based on the belief that for a company
to be successful in the long term and create value for its
shareholders, it must also create value for society.
In selecting the
winner, the Creating Shared Value Council will be looking for an entry
that is innovative, applies environmentally sustainable practices, has
demonstrated results on a small scale and can be viably scaled-up to
help improve people’s lives.
