Closing Date: February 28, 2015.
We created the Nestlé Creating
Shared Value Prize to help business-oriented initiatives that address
challenges in nutrition, water, or rural development, to scale-up or be
replicated. Through the prize, we reward initiatives that reflect the spirit of
Creating Shared Value, an approach any organisation can take to create economic
returns by developing solutions to societal problems.
We look for innovative projects,
programmes or businesses that have already been tested as a pilot or small
scale, have demonstrated high social and environmental impact, and need support
to become commercially viable.
We invest financial and
technical resources in the winning initiatives, with the objective of helping
them be brought to scale and to achieve financial sustainability. The winners
share a total of CHF 500,000 in prize money (approx. USD 540,000).
There are three categories of
funding:
1.
Rural Development: sustainable agriculture,
development of local value chains and extension services etc.
2. Water: improving access to clean water;
protection and conservation of
water resources: water, sanitation and hygiene etc.
3. Nutrition: improving access to food; food
fortification and technology; nutrition education programmes
etc.
