About the Nestlé Prize in Creating Shared Value
Do you know of a project that will improve access to nutrition, improve rural development or have a significant impact on water management or access to clean water?
Help develop it for others by nominating it for the Nestle Prize in Creating Shared Value, a substantial investment can help bring this innovation to others around the world.
The Nestlé Prize in Creating Shared Value will be awarded for the first time in April 2010 to encourage and reward innovative approaches to the problems of nutrition, water, and rural development. Nestlé believes that developing countries face under-investment in key social sectors, and that rewarding truly significant and innovative efforts to meet the global challenges creates shared value for us all. Nestlé will commit to the Prize winner an investment of up to CHF 500,000 for a specified period of time, to assist in the development and scale-up of the innovation.
The Nestlé Prize in Creating Shared Value will recognize local efforts to practice the Creating Shared Value principle and will be awarded to an individual, NGO, or a business, which has demonstrated innovative techniques for improving access to and management of water, improving the lives of farmers and rural communities, or delivers high nutritional value to populations suffering from nutritional deficits.
Spread the word and nominate worthy projects from 1st July 2009 to 31 October 2009 on www.nestle.com/CSV/CSVatNestle/CsvPrize.
