THE PROCUREMENT INTERVIEW
Sourcing with purpose At Nestlé, known as the‘ Good Food, Good Life Company’, procurement extends far beyond traditional buying activities. The function plays a central role in championing the company’ s belief that food and beverage has the power to enhance quality of life for everyone, today and for generations to come.
“ This is why we source with purpose – leveraging our global scale to procure efficiently, responsibly and with excellence,” continues Jacob.“ We deliver with impact, ensuring every ingredient, material, service and supplier relationship contributes to creating Good Food and a Good Life, for individuals and pets, for communities and for the planet.”
Nestlé’ s procurement strategy is built around four priority pillars: Exceptional People, Sustainable Sourcing, Resilient Supply and Competitive Cost. Two strategic accelerators support these foundations: State-of-the-art Systems and Tools, and Supplier-driven Innovation.
The procurement function combines expertise across supplier-facing and business-facing activities.
“ This integrated model – fully aligned with the Group’ s Operations approach – ensures we consistently deliver on our strategy,” Jacob explains.
