Nestlé CEO on the need for International Standards.
On the subject of International Standards, a global company like ours has a common strategic objective. Just as we have to have common values and a common culture, we need common standards as well.
International Standards provide a framework for the world. Tastes may differ, but health requirements and minimum standards are the same the world over. International Standards, therefore, help to shape our company so that we can be a global player with globally recognized terms of reference. But they serve only to frame our work, the “ paintings ” inside those frames are locally made.
ISO has a specific role to play as a truly global, multi-stakeholder, expert-driven, consensus-based standardization organization : it enables us to work efficiently. If that were not the case, if the interpretation of certain dimensions were really local and not relevant and not the same, we would be totally inefficient as a society and as a company in that society.
