1 Water: Quality, Quantity, and the Need for Innovative Technologies GUIRR Meeting June 30, 2010 Kevin Mathews Director Health and Environmental Affairs Nestle Waters North America
2 WATER is the Oil of the 21st Century Oil prices have fallen from their recent peaks, but concerns about the availability of freshwater show no sign of abating. Global water consumption is doubling every 20 years at an unsustainable rate of growth Water, unlike oil, has no substitute. For businesses, water is not discretionary. Without it, industry and the global economy falter.
3 WHO World Population Estimates 2030 Estimate 8.2 Billion 2010 Estimate 6.8 Billion
4 Already today: Regions where water withdrawals exceed natural supply Source: UN, Water a shared responsibility, New York 2006
5 WORLD POPULATION DENSITY CENTERS China and India account for 40% of World s Population
6 Water at the right time, In the right form, In the right place: Availability in monsoon regions Monsoon Monthly rainfall; Mangalore, India SMS and the Mineral Water Interest Group Berne 1 June 2010 PBL/Ob/tv # 6 Nestlé SA
7 At the right time, In the right form, In the right place: Water Scarcity 2030 SMS and the Mineral Water Interest Group Berne 1 June 2010 PBL/Ob/tv # 7 Nestlé SA
8 Nestlé is the world s largest food and beverage company Nestlé ~ 1.5% 480 factories in 86 Countries around the world The 20 largest food companies account for less than 9% of the world market
9 Enhance quality of life by bringing nutrition to all consumers everywhere 10,000 different products Around 1 billion products sold every day
10 Nestlé Perspective on the Water Issue Total world-wide freshwater withdrawal: billion liters (Domestic 10%,Industry 20%,Agriculture 70%, Nestlé 0.004%, Nestlé Waters %) We are a comparatively small user of water And are committed to continually reducing our impact While contributing to overall better water management as the most effective solution to the water crisis
11 The Nestlé Commitment to Water Sustainability On July 5, 2007, Nestlé Chairman and five other world business leaders launched The CEO Water Mandate U.N. Global Compact project designed to help companies better manage water use in their direct operations and throughout their supply chains Companies pledge to make progress in six areas: Direct operations Supply Chain and Watershed management Collective action Public policy Community engagement Transparency. Additionally, they agree to address water shortages and sanitation: Set water-use targets Assist suppliers with water-efficiency practices Partner with governments, policy makers and community groups
12 CEO Mandate Framework June 2010 CEO Water Mandate Framework launched at the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit in New York.
13 Managing Water Resources for Long-Term Sustainability Monitoring Our Sources Long-term monitoring diagram of a typical spring site Data collected manually and electronically, to manage spring resources Balance over the long-term water withdrawal and natural recharge through rain and snowmelt.
14 Reducing NWNA Supply Chain Footprint LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification program developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. Factories designed to conserve water, reduce waste and wastewater, GHG emissions to lessen environmental impact 7 factories are LEED certified today.more tomorrow.
15 Nestlé Progress in Environmental Sustainability: Water Since 1998, Nestlé has increased its food production volume by 76%. Over the same time period we have reduced our water withdrawal by 28%. Target is to reduce annual consumption per ton of product by 2%-3% over the next five years
16 Tracking our Footprint Life Cycle Sustainability Nestle Waters Global Initiative: Global Environmental Footprint (GEF) Assessment Tool
17 Nestle Waters Global Environmental Footprint Tool Life Cycle Assessment Cradle to Grave Multi-material Considers the whole supply chain From raw material and primary energy provision to end-of-life disposal of the product Impacts Water resources Primary energy Greenhouse gases emission, etc. Assessment Results Liters of water consumption per liter of product raw materials & primary energy resin & other packaging production NWNA distribution bottle disposal
18 Life Cycle Water Consumption Per 1000 Liters of 0.5L Eco-shape Bottled Spring Water 1864 Liters 1348 Liters Internal Operations 516 Liters Supply Chain 1000 Water Bottled 348 Industrial Losses 249 Primary Packaging Production 365 Secondary / Tertiary Packaging Production 83 Transport End of Life 120 Resin Pellets 43 PET Bottles 86 Caps & Labels 350 Film & Corrugates 15 Film & Pallets 2 Packaging 81 Finished Products Packaging recycling landfill / incineration
19 Water for Agriculture From Water Shortage to Food Shortage An Issue of strategic importance for Nestlé and beyond Solutions to overcome water shortage are possible and urgent: No one-dimensional approach
20 Water for food farming: One liter per calorie Worldwide average: 3,000 litres of freshwater withdrawn to grow the daily food per person Other consumer goods with embedded water from agricultural production: textiles from natural fibres, leather, furniture, paper, etc. Quelle: Peter H. Gleick, in: Water International, 21 (1996) 83-92; and Ismael Serageldin in www/the-world-around-water.net
21 The Meat Coefficient: Water required = 10 times the need for plant-based calories and proteins Animals transform only 5-15% of plant calories into meat. As a result: water requirement for average diet: Tunisia 2,964 l/person/day (share of meat in diet : 27%) Source: A. Zehnder, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology ETHZ 1999 California 5,908 l/person/day (meat: 64%)
22 Changing Diet: China s Meat Consumption (in grams per capita per day) Comparison Spain 320 g USA 342 g NZL 389 g Source: FAO online database; calculations A. Le Vernoy, SciencePo Paris 2007
23 Huge potential for water savings: Theoretical versus actual freshwater withdrawals for food farming For example: growing a balanced daily meal, 2,500 Kcal/per capita, 20% meat: Actual withdrawal of freshwater liters theoretically necessary to grow this amount of food Potential in a water-efficient manner for savings 1900 liters of freshwater 40%-70% Source: Zehnder, ETHZ and
