Topical focus: Nestlé Malaysia – global Halal hub

Man cooking Halal food in traditional kioskNestlé's Halal food policy was introduced in 1992, and Nestlé Malaysia serves as the Company's global Centre for Halal Excellence. All aspects of Nestlé Malaysia's  operations  – from sourcing to distribution – comply to Halal guidelines, and all suppliers are audited. The scale and importance of Halal food can be judged from a Canadian government report, published in 2007, which says that Muslims are expected to account for 30% of the world's population by 2025. The best current estimate of the Halal food market is USD 500 billion a year. Non traditional Muslim Markets are turning to Nestlé Malaysia for expertise as  Muslim populations grow in countries such as Britain, France and Germany, and this growth is also fuelled by the expanding Muslim travel market . Nestlé currently has 75 factories which have been Halal certified, and Nestlé Malaysia offers its experience and expertise not only to these operations, but also as a mentor to  small and medium enterprises in the local food industry. In 2007, Nestlé Malaysia received a prestigious award ('Best Corporate Social Responsibility Project' from  the Halal Journal) in recognition of its efforts in this sector, a  well-deserved accolade for their Halal commitment which was borne out of respect for Muslim employees and consumers, and today a global  growth opportunity.
