Nestl\u00e9 Waters, the water category from Nestle, will expand its current efforts to manage water sustainably, increase its collaboration with partners and define local solutions that will help regenerate the ecosystem in wider watershed around its sites. From 2025 onwards, those areas will help nature to retain more water than Nestl\u00e9 withdraws for its Waters business.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestl\u00e9 will now use its expertise to advance the regeneration of local water cycles through the implementation of more than 100 projects around the world by 2025. These new, measurable actions will support reforestation, wetland restoration and better water infrastructure. In order to support the execution of these projects, Nestl\u00e9 will invest CHF 120 million (USD 130 million).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change, higher water consumption, growing urbanization and damaged infrastructure are some of the factors contributing to the deterioration of the natural water cycle. These trends are interfering with the predictability of precipitation and the availability of clean water. Additionally, rising temperatures and more extreme weather patterns are causing more flooding and droughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a business with a long heritage of nature protection and water stewardship, we want to go beyond protecting water sources to regenerating and restoring water cycles in the areas where we operate, said C\u00e9dric Egger, Head of Sustainability at Nestl\u00e9 Waters. \u201cWe know the water challenge is global, but it can only be tackled through local solutions. Now is the time to expand the scope of our actions. With Nestl\u00e9\u2019s presence around the world, we can learn from our many partners and contribute to solving the water challenges in the locations near our operations<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new initiative builds on the company\u2019s 2017 commitment to certify all of its Waters sites by the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestl\u00e9\u2019s work will be tailored to individual locations, needs and issues and will take a broader approach, going beyond its own operations. Nestl\u00e9 will work with local water users, communities, partners and global experts to identify, develop and progress projects specific to those challenges. As a founding member of the 2030 Water Resources Group (2030 WRG), Nestl\u00e9 has a history of collaborating with leaders and 10 experts from the public, private and civil society sectors to design solutions for sustainable water management. The company will apply its experience and learnings from the 2030 WRG as well as from its many other partnerships in the implementation of its more than 100 water conservation projects. Among those to be completed by 2025 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Vittel \u2013 Wetland reforestation and creation in Vosges, France<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Buxton \u2013 Land conservation (protecting land from development) and natural flood management interventions in Derbyshire UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Nestl\u00e9 Pure Life \u2013 Support for farmers to use drip irrigation in Sheikhupura, Pakistan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Nestl\u00e9 Pure Life \u2013 Restoration and building infrastructure around canal systems and the delivery of water treatment, filtration and pipeline infrastructure, together with local stakeholders, for the municipal water supply for local communities in Benha, Egypt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All projects will be measurable, using the World Resource Institute\u2019s Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting (VWBA) methodology. This methodology provides consistency in analyzing water management activities and helps to ensure that such activities address current and future shared water challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using this methodology, a newly created external panel reviews the relevance and sustainability of the projects versus the local challenges and opportunities. We will report on our progress on a regular basis. Nestl\u00e9 Waters will ensure a constant and transparent communication on the evolution of each area in which it operates, both from the perspective of exploitation activities and projects implemented to regenerate local water cycles.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
