Nestle Seeks Winner for CSV Prize
Nestle has recently begun accepting nominees for its 2014 Prize in Creating Shared Value (CSV). This biennial award is designed to encourage innovative ideas that make a positive impact in the areas of water, nutrition or rural development by an individual, non-governmental organization (NGO), or small business. The winner will receive an investment of up to CHF 500,000 (538,000 USD as of 1/21/13) for a specified period of time to assist in the development and scale-up of the innovation. Nominees must have proven the innovation on a small-scale, ensure it is applicable on a broader scale, and demonstrate a high promise of improving rural development, nutrition, access to clean water, or having a significant impact on water management.
Do you run an innovative program, an inclusive business or a social enterprise in the area of nutrition, water or rural development? Get the chance to scale up your impact by nominating your initiative for the Nestl Prize in Creating Shared Value. Or for more information, visit http://www.nestle.com/csv/nestle/nestleprize.
