Responsible AI Summit Main Conference Day 1 - Tuesday 23 September

2:00 PM Presentation – From Food to Fork: How Nestlé Is Building Global AI Governance in a Non-Tech-Native Enterprise

Nestlé is the world’s largest food and beverage company, with 300,000 employees, a digital ecosystem spanning 185 countries, and an AI portfolio powering everything from demand forecasting to food safety. But how does a non-tech-native organisation govern AI responsibly on a global scale? In this session, Laura will share how Nestlé’s hybrid governance model—balancing global oversight with local flexibility—enables responsible, enterprise-wide AI adoption without losing sight of cultural nuance, operational complexity, or ethical risk. This talk will delve into:

Building governance on existing digital foundations: culture, quality, legal alignment, and values
Applying a hybrid model: global policy with local adaptation across 185 countries
Embedding people, process, and tool-based controls into every stage of AI deployment
