Comply with the Law

Nestlé must comply with food and beverage laws in all countries where it manufactures and sells products
Must include labeling, packaging, water contaminants, and net content regulations
If local laws are stricter than Nestlé’s own standards, follow the stricter local laws
This includes Nestlé’s commitment to comply with Nestlé Corporate Business Principles and Nestlé Codes of Business Conduct

Quality Assurance and Product Safety

Everywhere in the world, Nestlé represents a promise of high quality and safe products
The Quality Policy summarizes the essential elements of this commitment, including:
- Commitment to developing, manufacturing, and providing trusted and preferred products and services
- Maintains high food safety standards in all countries of operation
- Continuously improves management systems to guarantee product quality and safety
- Inspires ownership of product quality and safety by all employees and third parties

Uncontrolled Trade

When a non-Nestlé company sells Nestlé products in other markets, it must have Nestlé's permission
If no permission is granted, the situation should be evaluated in the market’s Issue Round Table (IRT) and a business decision should be made
If the company has permission from Nestlé, both parties must ensure the products comply with local law
These permissions include contract alternatives such as:
- Import-export contract with a Nestlé market
- Contract with Nestrade or NITR
- Sales contract with a Nestlé market as a third-party distributor

Resolution for Uncontrolled Trade

If a company doesn’t have permission, Nestlé may do one of the following:
- Inform the trader and agree on a solution
- Inform the authorities
- Ask Nestrade or NITR to import the products
- Escalate the issue to the Nestlé Zone or Corporate
