愛的鳥巢-由關懷起家
19世紀中期，雀巢公司創立人Mr. Henri Nestlé 有感於當時嬰兒的高死亡率，乃致力於嬰兒食品的研究發展。
1867年他成功地發明了一種劃時代，革命性的嬰兒奶麥食品，幫助解決缺乏母親哺餵的問題。一年後 ，Mr. Henri Nestlé 決定以鳥巢圖案(Nestlé) 做為雀巢 (Nestlé) 的商標，雀巢也一直秉持著Mr. Henri Nestlé 對人本的關懷與努力的精神，在食品的開發與行銷上，繼續將這份關懷無遠弗屆地傳遞到世界每個角落。雀巢期望，無論任何國家任何地區，人們只要看到母鳥餵小鳥的雀巢商標，就會聯想感受到它所代表的安全、責任、溫暖、母愛、自然及家庭等精神與意義。
