4 Optimising Our<br />
envirOnmental<br />
perfOrmance<br />
At <strong>Nestlé</strong> <strong>Waters</strong>, we place a great deal of importance on environmental<br />
responsibility, establishing the continuous optimisation of our environmental<br />
performance as a corporate priority.<br />
The environment is a complex issue, involving many overlapping global<br />
challenges: access to water in sufficient quantity and quality; climate<br />
change; depletion of non-renewable resources; waste management; and<br />
biodiversity. We believe that clarity, transparency, honesty, and delivering on<br />
our commitments is critical. This includes not setting environmental goals that<br />
are unattainable or too far in the future to allow for regular assessment. We<br />
are firmly committed to avoiding any methodological shortcuts or statements<br />
that would mislead external audiences. Instead, we prioritise environmental<br />
efficiency and clear communication and feel it is a competitive advantage<br />
that should not be compromised.<br />
This section provides detailed information about the environmental impacts<br />
of our bottled water business. It describes how we monitor these impacts at<br />
every stage of the product life-cycle. We will discuss in detail where we have<br />
focused our efforts between 2005 and 2010, as well as other contributing<br />
factors that have led to a continuous reduction of our environmental impact.<br />
This section also highlights our current priorities and future challenges. Our<br />
ultimate goal is to be recognised as best-in-class in sustainability within the<br />
beverage industry.<br />
