World Health Organisation Code Statements

Nestlé has publicly stated its support for the International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes and subsequent relevant WHO Resolutions, which aim:

1. To protect and promote breast-feeding.

2. To ensure the proper use of breast-milk substitutes when these are needed. The Code recognises the importance of breast-feeding while acknowledging that there is a legitimate market for breast-milk substitutes when breast-feeding is not possible.

Nestlé acknowledges that, independently of any other measures taken by Governments to implement the Code, Nestlé is responsible for monitoring their marketing practices according to the principles and objectives of the Code. Furthermore we ensure that our conduct at every level conforms to the Nestlé Policy and Instructions in this regard.
