-- Organic growth reached 9.3%, with broad-based contributions
across geographies and categories. Pricing was 9.8%, reflecting
significant cost inflation. Real internal growth (RIG) was
-0.5%.
-- Full-year 2023 outlook confirmed : we expect organic sales

constant currency is expected to increase between 6% and 10%.
Mark Schneider, Nestlé CEO, commented: "Nestlé delivered strong
organic growth in the first quarter, as our teams worked diligently
to protect volume and ensure resilient mix. Portfolio optimization
efforts and responsible pricing helped to offset the ongoing
pressures from two years of cost inflation.
We continued our portfolio management journey with the creation
of a joint venture dedicated to the frozen pizza business in
Europe. The new partnership provides the best platform to develop
the full potential of this business.
Following a strong start to the year, we confirm our full-year
2023 outlook and remain focused on creating value for all
stakeholders".

Business as a force for good: Material progress on plastic
packaging
Nestlé is reducing plastic usage through less packaging, better
packaging and better systems. The company passed peak virgin
plastic consumption and peak greenhouse gas emissions in 2019,
while the business continued to grow.
Global estimates show that over 180 million tonnes of plastics
are used for packaging in a year*. In 2022, Nestlé used 0.9 million
tonnes of plastics for packaging, representing 0.5% of the plastic
packaging globally.
Nestlé strives to use only the minimum amount of plastic
packaging necessary to ensure food safety. The company is
accelerating the development and scaling of next-generation
packaging solutions. These include delivery models like reuse and
refill with 20 pilots in 12 countries, recyclable paper in products
like Quality Street and KitKat, as well as compostable packaging
such as coffee pods. It is also continuously reducing packaging by
volume and weight.
Nestlé has reduced its use of virgin plastic in packaging by
10.5% since 2018 and is on track to reduce virgin plastic usage by
one third by 2025. For example, the company phased out the use of
4.5 billion plastic straws per year and replaced them with paper
straws globally.
In 2022, the company cut the weight of its total product
packaging by 200 000 tonnes while reducing the number of pieces by
14 billion. This reduction in total packaging weight combined with
packaging redesign led to greenhouse gas reductions of
280 000 tonnes in 2022.
At year-end 2022, 81.9% of the company's plastic packaging was
designed for recycling. By 2025, Nestlé aims to reach over 95%.
Ultimately, it aims for 100% reusable or recyclable packaging and a
waste-free future.
The company takes its responsibility to advance the circular
economy seriously and is determined to keep effecting change
through a collaborative approach. Nestlé is collaborating with
supply chain partners, civil society and government stakeholders to
act on infrastructure as well as the UN Treaty on Plastics
Pollution.

Outlook
Full-year 2023 outlook confirmed : we expect organic sales
growth between 6% and 8% and underlying trading operating profit
margin between 17.0% and 17.5%. Underlying earnings per share in
constant currency is expected to increase between 6% and 10%.
