Nestlé Community Environment Program
The Nestlé Community Environment Program (NCEP) has been running since 2003. NCEP aims to identify and facilitate projects which enhance the local environment in which our facilities operate.
Nestlé Oceania sites liaise with local authorities as well as community and environment groups to find suitable projects, and Nestlé employees and members of the local community directly participate in many of them. Each Oceania site contributes AUD25,000 each year to a local environmental project. On top of the financial contribution our people actively participate directly in the projects and dedicate their time, energy and expertise.
Since 2003, we’ve contributed over AUD2 million to local communities through NCEP. 2008 saw over 16 projects implemented across a diverse range of environmental issues, including regeneration and treeplanting, environmental learning, erosion management and carbon sequestration projects. The total contribution across Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Papua New Guinea was some AUD 425,000.
