At Nestlé, we are deeply concerned at the impact of the coronavirus crisis on people around the world. We have been monitoring the situation closely as it has developed. The World Health Organization’s recommendations and government actions have guided us in taking bold decisions and actions to assist those in need. From the start of this pandemic, we have been working hard to keep our employees, business partners and the communities where we operate safe.

As COVID-19 has spread, we have scaled-up our safety and health recommendations and instructions to our employees globally. This includes guidance on basic hygiene precautions applied at home and at work, disinfection measures, a total ban on international business travel, limiting faceto-face meetings, asking our employees who traveled to affected areas to stay at home for 14 days before returning to work and encouraging our employees to work from home wherever and whenever possible.
