Nestlé Purina PetCare Company and its parent company, Nestlé S.A., are frequently recognized by local, national, and international organizations for our positive work environment, focus on our associates, and career opportunities. Here is a sampling of some of the awards that we are proud to have received:

In 2008, Nestlé Purina was honored as one of the Best Places to Work in St. Louis by the St. Louis Business Journal based on the company's unique culture which encourages employees to bring their dogs to work. In addition, associates enjoy an on-site fitness center, company store, medical center, and daycare programming for children.

"In 2008, Nestle Purina was named a finalist for the St. Louis Business Journal's "Heroes of the Planet Award" for their Sustainable Operations.

In 2007, Nestlé Purina was voted among the Top 50 Businesses Shaping the Future of St. Louis by the St. Louis RCGA. This award is presented to companies based on their significant dedication to the St. Louis business community as well as the positive contribution they make to enhance the local area. Nestlé Purina is committed to the St. Louis area with its downtown headquarters providing employment for approximately 2,000 residents in the metropolitan area. Nestlé Purina also supports local organizations by contributing $1 million annually.

In August 2008, Nestlé Purina's positive work environment and unique culture where associates are welcome to bring their pets to work were highlighted in AAIM's Connection Magazine. According to AAIM, "Bringing 'man's best friend' to work isn't the only perk available to employees. Add these to the list of work/life benefits: flex-time, business casual dress, on-site fitness center, a company store with Nestlé products at discounted prices, shipping and mailing center, a credit union, mothers' lounge, cafeteria and an on-site daycare."
