Dear Nestlé Supplier,
At Nestlé, we pride ourselves in delivering best in class products to our consumers. To enable us to achieve this, we collaborate closely with our Valued Suppliers.
In today’s fast changing ecosystem, we understand the paramount importance of being compliant on the key parameters that affect our Supply Chains. As a result of this, we are launching our “Know Your Supplier” (KYS) program in partnership with Beroe Holdings Inc., whose primary lines of business include procurement intelligence and supplier compliance solutions. This program will increase transparency within our Supply Chain and streamline our Supplier due-diligence processes through digitalization. The benefits to our suppliers will be a fast, transparent and sharable platform to conduct and monitor their compliance and financial assessments.
The KYS compliance program allows both you and Nestlé to assess exposure on the following key elements to enable higher levels of confidence in the decision-making process.
Participation in the KYS program is a mandatory requirement for Nestlé suppliers to maintain their approved supplier status.
Participation on the portal will require suppliers to pay an annual fee of 299 USD. The KYS program aims initially to assess parent vendors only, nevertheless, Nestlé might extend the invitation to child companies if deemed relevant
Please note that your participation will be subject to the terms set out via the Beroe platform and is independent of the relationship and contractual obligations that you have/may have with Nestlé.
Please do not hesitate to contact compliance.support@beroe-inc.com with any further questions.

Beroe Inc. and all its entities and subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, and “our”) collects certain information in connection with providing the services we offer through our websites (our “Services”). This Privacy Policy covers the information we collect, receive, use, and disclose in connection with our Services, including through all sub domains located at https://beroeinc.com/ (the "Portal") and https://www.beroeinc.com/ (together our “Websites”). Your privacy is important to us and this Privacy Policy, and the other documents referred to in this Privacy Policy, lays out our policies and procedures surrounding the collection and handling of information, including personal information (“PII”). If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, do not use our Websites or otherwise engage with our Services.
We collect, use, share, store or otherwise process PII when we have an appropriate purpose or legal basis. For example, we may process PII as necessary to provide Services subject to our Terms of Service, when necessary to comply with legal obligations, or for purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests (such as providing products or services, improving our Services, fixing bugs, performing analysis and analytics, communicating with you, preventing fraud, enforcing legal claims, and for security purposes) where doing so is consistent with your rights, and appropriate to the context.
In addition to the User Content (as defined in Section of the Portal Terms of Service), we may use your name, e-mail address, company details and other personally identifiable information ("PII") for both marketing and product improvement initiatives.
We may collect and process PII about those that use and visit our Websites and Services (“Users”). For example, we may collect
We also collect information Users provide regarding other individuals and businesses. For example, we collect User Content (as defined in our Terms of Service) when you use the Portal. This information may relate to Users’ experiences with their suppliers and other companies with whom they do business, and may include PII of others, such as the names and business contact details for our Users’ points of contact with a particular supplier or other business. In other cases, we collect similar information through one of our service providers or through a publicly accessible source.
We also collect PII, typically email addresses, from our service providers. We utilize this information to contact business representatives who may be interested in our products and services.
We may use the User Content that you provide to provide services to others. We will use your email address and other PII we may collect from you in the future (collectively, "Your PII") solely to communicate with you. Users may affirmatively opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us by sending an email to unsubscribe@beroe-inc.com. We may also use Your PII to enforce our Terms of Service.
We also use cookies to collect information about Users and their activity on the Websites. We use this information to remember Users on our Websites and to enhance Users' experience on our Websites. For example, when Users return to the Websites, cookies identify those Users and allow the Websites to provide certain user-specific information. We may use information regarding the pages of the Portal that Users are viewing to suggest additional reports or Beroe services that may be of interest, or we may use information from Google Analytics to determine whether Users are already in our database of subscribers. We do not allow third parties to track your activities across other sites and over time.
We may use the information we collect, including PII, for various purposes such as:
We may share information we collect, including PII, with third-parties such as:
We use reasonable security measures to protect PII from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification and disclosure, including appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Unfortunately, even with these measures, we cannot guarantee the security of PII. By using the Websites, you acknowledge and agree that we make no such guarantee, and that you use the Websites at your own risk.
You may choose not to provide the PII we request. However, not providing the information we request may restrict your ability to use certain features or functionality of the Websites. For example, Users cannot register for an account through the Portal if they do not provide us with their name and email address.
We may seek prior consent for certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time by contacting us at ask@beroe-inc.com. Any withdrawal of consent is only effective on a going-forward basis, and will not impact processing we undertook while relying on a valid consent.
Users that create an account may access and change their PII using the "Change" or "Edit" function by accessing their profile https://live.beroeinc.com/#/myProfile. If you have questions regarding our use or collection of PII, please contact us at: ask@beroe-inc.com.
If you receive communications from us, you may subsequently opt-out of receiving those communications using the mechanism provided in the communication. Users may affirmatively opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us by sending an email to unsubscribe@beroe-inc.com.
You may change your browser settings or take other steps to block, manage, or delete cookies. Not all of our websites and online services currently respond to browser “do not track” signals, so you will need to use your browser settings to effectively manage cookies. In some cases, blocking or disabling cookies may cause our websites, games, and applications not to work as intended and some features may not be available.
If you are located in the EU, or a place where EU law applies, you may have additional rights to request access to, correction of, erasure of, or the transfer of your PII, as well as the right to object to or restrict the processing of your PII. You may exercise these rights, if applicable, by contacting us at ask@beroe-inc.com . We will retain your PII for as long as we reasonably need to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. For example, if you register for our Services and create an account, we will store your information for as long as needed to maintain your account, provide the services you request, enforce any applicable terms that govern your use of the services, and maintain appropriate records to reflect our delivery of services to you. Individuals located in the EU, or a place where EU member state law applies, also may have the right to lodge a complaint with an EU or member state supervisory authority.
We may store and process information, including through third-party or affiliate hosting services, in the United States, European Economic Area, or any other international jurisdiction. As a result, we may transfer the PII described in this Privacy Policy for the purposes and to the parties described in this Privacy Policy to locations that may be outside of the jurisdiction where you are located. The laws in those jurisdictions may be different than the data protection laws in the jurisdiction in which you reside. Some of these jurisdictions may not have been deemed adequate by the European Commission to provide a comparable level of protection to that of the jurisdiction in which you are located. However, we will treat PII as subject to, and protect it in accordance with, this Privacy Policy. If we transfer PII from the EU to any other party located outside the EU, we will ask for your consent or rely on a legal framework that provides appropriate safeguards, which may include standard contractual clauses or some other framework deemed adequate by the European Commission.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of this Privacy Policy at any time without further notice. If we do this, we will post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the new effective date (i.e., the LAST UPDATED date). You agree that you will check for new versions of this Privacy Policy. By continuing to access and/or use the Websites or Services following the posting of a new Privacy Policy version, you agree to be bound by the then-current version. If you do not agree to the terms of the new version of the Privacy Policy, you agree to stop using the Websites or Services.

This Cookies Policy applies to our public-facing ‘BEROE Inc.’ websites and other online services.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored by the browser on your computer or mobile device. The cookie can be read by the company that placed it there so that the browser in use on that device can be recognized. Cookies may provide “aggregate data”, that is, data that counts how many visitors engage in certain actions. They can be read as unique but not identify you as an individual or, particularly in case of registration cookies, cookies can be associated with data that does identify you.
Strictly necessary cookies are those which are essential for our sites to work in the way you have requested. Although many of our sites are open, that is, do not require registration, we may use strictly necessary cookies to control access to some of our community sites, whitepapers or online events such as webinars and to maintain your session during a single visit. These cookies will need to reset on your browser each time you register or log in to a gated area. If you block these cookies entirely, you may not be able to access gated areas. We may also offer you the choice of a persistent cookie to recognize you as you return to one of our gated sites. If you choose not to use this “remember me” function, you will simply need to log in each time you return.
Performance cookies, often called analytics cookies, collect data from visitors to our sites on a unique but anonymous basis. The results are reported to us as aggregate numbers and trends. BEROE allows third parties to set performance cookies. We rely on the reports to understand our audiences generally and improve how our websites work.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), which in turn uses performance cookies. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case IP-anonymisation is activated on our website, your IP address will be truncated within the area of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the whole IP address be first transferred to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On our websites the IPaddress is encoded (i.e. anonymised) before beeing sent to Google servers.
Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of our website to (a) evaluate your use of our website; (b) compile reports on website activity for website operators; and (c) provide website operators with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address that your browser conveys within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. You can also opt-out from being tracked by Google Analytics by downloading and installing Google Analytics’ Opt-out Browser Add-On for your current web browser:http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
We may use site performance cookies to remember your preferences for operational settings on our websites so that you do not have to re-set the preferences every time you visit. For example, the cookie may recognize optimum video streaming speeds or volume settings, or the order in which you look at comments to a posting on one of our forums. These cookies do not identify you as an individual and we don’t associate the resulting information with a cookie that does.
If you use social media or other third party credentials to log in to our sites, that third party organization may set a cookie that allows that organization to recognize you. The third party organization may use that cookie for its own purposes. The organization may also show you ads and content from us when you visit its websites or use its applications. Also, if you use a social media-sharing button or widget on one of our sites, the social network that created the button will record your action for its own purposes. Please look to each social media organization’s privacy and data protection policy to understand (a) its use of cookies; (b) how it tracks you from our sites; and (c) how to control such cookies and buttons.
We use tracking and targeting cookies or ask other companies to do so on our behalf to send you emails and show you online advertising that meets your business and professional interests. If you have registered for our websites or submitted information through an online form on one of our websites, we may tailor our emails to you to reflect the interests you have shown during your visits.
We ask third party advertising platforms and technology companies to show you our ads after you leave our sites. This is known as ‘retargeting technology’. This technology allows us to make our website services more interesting for you. Retargeting cookies are used to record anonymized movement patterns on a website. These patterns are used to tailor banner advertisements to your interests. The data used for retargeting is completely anonymous and is only used for statistical analysis. No personal data is stored and the use of retargeting technology is subject to the applicable statutory data protection regulations.
We also work with companies to reach people who have not visited our sites. These companies do not identify you as an individual but instead rely on a variety of other data to show you advertisements, for example, behavior across websites, information about individual devices and, in some cases, IP addresses.
All modern browsers allow you to turn off cookies or stop accepting cookies. You can usually find the settings to do so in the “options” or “preferences” menu of the browser on your device or you can use the “Help” option for more details. Please remember that turning off some cookies may result in our sites not working as intended.
