Janet Voûte, global head of public affairs at Nestlé, said: \u201cHigh-level commitment to transparency is very important to the quality of the report you end up with. Transparency helps us address problems, and there\u2019s no doubt it contributes to better interactions with external stakeholders,\u201d she said, explaining that Nestlé regularly holds forums and face-to-face meetings with key stakeholder groups, including non-governmental organisations.<\/p>\n
