The Nestlé needs YOUth initiative was launched in 2013 to help address the needs of young people to access economic opportunities and empower them with the skills needed to start their careers and grow as professionals. Investing in the education, empowerment and well-being of young people, in an inclusive way, is essential for building a skilled workforce, nurturing future leaders, and ensuring the continuity of progress and prosperity for the generations to come. In just 11 years, since the launch of the Initiative, we have helped 10 million young people access economic opportunities worldwide. We are a company that’s deeply committed to creating shared value – for society, for youth, and for the environment. Therefore, we're working to restore young people's faith in farming as a viable career by promoting professionalism and regenerative agriculture. As more young people move to cities, we’re motivated to help farming be recognized once again as a space for growth, and to inspire youth to see it as a meaningful and impactful career choice. At Nestlé, we harness entrepreneurship by identifying and nurturing the business talent of young individuals. These innovators are essential in reaching new markets and addressing future business challenges. Our commitment to empowering youth is exemplified through the Nestlé Youth Entrepreneurship Platform (YEP), which provides opportunities to acquire new skills, explore innovative ideas, and grow their businesses. We aim to equip young people with the knowledge and mindset needed to turn their ideas into successful ventures, particularly in regenerative agriculture, plant-based products, sustainable packaging, and nutrition.
