Case Study: Nestlé saves $4 million in trade association dues with FiscalNote’s Core Platform

How Nestlé Saved $4 Million in Trade Association Dues Using the FiscalNote Core Platform

Nestlé, a $28 billion global food and beverage company, faced growing complexity in government affairs: teams lacked a centralized stakeholder-management system, had limited visibility into one another’s work, and struggled to demonstrate the value of their efforts to the broader organization. Relying on emails, meetings and external trade associations made it hard to align corporate messaging, respond to emerging consumer-driven issues, and provide transparent positions on policy matters.

By implementing the FiscalNote Core Platform, Nestlé centralized issue tracking, improved collaboration and real-time visibility across its global team, and added tools like District Footprint Mapping and legislative monitoring. The platform enabled Nestlé to represent itself more effectively, discontinue contracts with 57 trade associations, and save $4 million in dues—savings that funded team growth and provided data-driven proof of the government affairs team’s value to executives.
