Chapter 1: About our Code 

While we always strive to use good judgment, there can be situations in which the right thing to do is not clear. 
 

When faced with a difficult decision or unusual request, the following questions can help guide you in determining the right way – the Nestlé way – to behave:

1. Is my decision consistent with the law?
2. Is my decision consistent with Nestlé’s values, Corporate Business Principles and company policies?
3. Would I be comfortable explaining my decision to a colleague, family or friend?
4. Am I confident that my decision will not have a negative impact on Nestlé?
5. Do I have the authority to make this decision?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no” or “I’m unsure”, it’s probably not the right thing to do. Stop and seek guidance from your people manager, Human Resources or local Legal & Compliance team.
