The Nestlé Creating Shared Value Prize is awarded by the Nestlé CSV Council every two years. The competition helps scale up or replicate business-oriented initiatives that address challenges in nutrition, water or rural development. It’s open to social and private enterprises, as well as non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

The application process for the 2018 Nestlé Creating Shared Value Prize will open in June 2017 when, once again, we will invite applications from innovative businesses and social enterprises in the areas of nutrition, water and rural development.

We have refreshed the application and screening processes for the 2018 CSV Prize. There is now a two-stage application process, with a simplified entry form available in several languages, and a faster screening process.

We will also place greater emphasis on the potential business viability of projects, and the best 10 programmes will all be invited to attend the next CSV Forum.
