As the leading nutrition, health and wellness company, we are committed to enhancing people`s lives, everywhere, every day. We strive to make our brands tastier and healthier choices that help consumers care for themselves and their families, thus earning their trust and recommendations to others. Delivering on this commitment enables us to create long-term sustainable value for our consumers and customers, for our communities, for our shareholders and for our employees. We believe that leadership is about behaviour, and we recognise that trust is earned over a long period of time by consistently delivering on our promises. Nestlé believes that it is only possible to create long-term sustainable value for our shareholders if our behaviour, strategies and operations also create value for the communities where we operate, for our business partners, our employees and of course, for our consumers. We call this `creating shared value`. Nestlé can trace its origins back to 1866, when the first European condensed milk factory was opened in Cham, Switzerland, by the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. One year later, Henri Nestlé, a trained pharmacist, launched one of the world`s first prepared infant cereals `Farine lactée` in Vevey, Switzerland. Today, with our headquarters still based in the Swiss town of Vevey, we had sales of CHF 91.6 bn. in 2014. We employ over 330,000 people and have factories or operations in almost every country in the world.
The Home Chef team is a unique mix of chefs, creators, entrepreneurs, and trailblazers. By combining our diverse backgrounds, distinct talents, and consistent willingness to support one another, we`re building new ways to navigate the booming meal kit industry. Our team runs on a spirit of autonomy, trust, and inclusion that allows for quick decisions and inventive thinking. Our organic growth is supported by our employee`s constant eagerness to suggest and try new things. It`s the same energy, combined with our customer-first mentality, that landed us Built in Chicago`s Startup of the Year Moxie award. We`re growing quickly, across all departments, locations, and levels. Our extraordinary management team is simultaneously humble and inspiring, taking cues from our CEO who recently was honored as EY`s Entrepreneur of the Year. We encourage our employees to go as far as their ambitions take them while we equally strive to create a fun work environment. We know that fun at work doesn`t always mean a ping pong table - it can mean collaboration, communication, and creating new ideas and projects with your colleagues. If you`re ready to be part of the action, we`re ready to connect with you. There are no limits to where we can go together.
