Nestlé in society: Creating Shared Value Nutrition, health and wellness Rural development Water Environmental sustainability Human rights and compliance Our people Water for emergencies When a natural disaster occurs or when water sources and distribution systems are temporarily unavailable, providing access to safe drinking water becomes a health priority and bottled water can play a vital role. We have a long history of helping local communities after natural disasters such as hurricanes and big storms, trucking in bottled water using our own milk tankers for deliveries or providing ready-to-use water-filling stations at our factories. A strong earthquake hit Nepal at the end of April 2015, followed by many powerful aftershocks. The earthquakes caused extensive damage to buildings, and thousands of deaths and injuries were reported in neighbouring Pakistan, India and Bangladesh; • Nestlé is one of four companies agreeing to donate up to 6.5 million bottles of water to meet the needs of more than 10 000 schoolchildren in crisis-hit Flint, Michigan. Tap water in the US town became contaminated with lead during the construction of a pipeline under a nearby lake; and • In Texas, record rainfall caused major flooding in May 2015. Nestlé Waters North America provided 152 000 bottles of water via the American Red Cross. Helping consumers use less water Through product packaging and brand websites, we provide consumers with meaningful and accurate environmental information about how simple changes in behaviour can reduce water use when preparing our products. On the UK Nescafé website, for example, we provide consumers with top tips for responsible consumption, such as preparing the right quantity of coffee to avoid waste and using refill packs to minimise the need for glass jars. The site also offers advice for saving energy and water, including only boiling as much water as is needed, and completely filling the dishwasher before using it. Our own employees are consumers too, and the internal campaign ‘I’m doing it’ encourages our staff around the world to recycle water bottles. Read about recycling, reducing waste and sustainable consumption in the Environmental Sustainability section. We also support healthy hydration by donating bottled water to those in need during heatwaves: • Nestlé Waters Canada donated 300 000 bottles of water to Engage and Change’s 2015 Project Water initiative, to be distributed among those living on the streets of Toronto at risk from dehydration during the summer months. Since 2006, we have donated more than 2.1 million bottles of water to the organisation; • In Pakistan, the summer heatwave in Sindh caused more than 1000 fatalities and around 40 000 people are estimated to have suffered from heatstroke. In June 2015, Nestlé Pakistan donated 80 000 litres of water, to be distributed across Karachi by the National Disaster Management Authority; and • During the heatwave in France during the summer of 2015, a consignment of 30 000 bottles of water was donated to the Samusocial on behalf of the French Federation of Bottled Waters, of which Nestlé Waters is the president.

Nestlé in society: Creating Shared Value Nutrition, health and wellness Rural development Water Environmental sustainability Human rights and compliance Our people Environmental sustainability Environmental sustainability means protecting the future by making the right choices in a world where water is increasingly scarce, natural resources are constrained and biodiversity is declining, and where climate change may exacerbate these challenges. Our goal is that Nestlé’s products are to be not only tastier and healthier but also better for the environment along their value chain. In this chapter, we outline how we are striving to protect the future of the world around us, by using sustainably managed and renewable resources, operating as efficiently as we can and working towards our goal of zero waste. 1st We retained our industryleading position in the ‘environmental dimension’ of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index Series, with a score of 99 out of 100. 58 284 tonnes Amount of packaging material avoided. 42.7% Reduction in direct GHG emissions per tonne of product versus 2005. CHF 289 million Invested in replacing synthetic refrigerants with natural alternatives in our industrial refrigeration systems.
