Nestlé Right to Water and Sanitation Christian Frutiger Public Affairs, Nestlé S.A. Lisbon Consultation 4 November 2010
Nestlé Corporate Performance Model Our ambition Nestlé Model every year 5%-6% organic growth EBIT margin improvement Improving capital efficiency Market leadership Be the recognized leading NHW company Be a reference for financial performance Trusted by all stakeholders Competitive advantages Products brands R&D capabilities Global presence People, culture and values Growth drivers Nutrition, Health and Wellness (NHW) Emerging consumers (PPP) Out-of-home (OOH) Premiumisation Sustainability Compliance NCBP, Laws, Standards Operational pillars Innovation and renovation Operational efficiency Whenever, wherever, however Consumer communication Nestlé culture, values and principles
Nestlé Corporate Business Principles 1 History 1998: First edition 2002: Revision and Integration of the first 9 UNGC Principles 2004: Revision and Integration of the 10th UNGC Principle 2010: Fully revised edition published; Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights; recognition of Right to Water.
Nestlé Corporate Business Principles 2 Commitments (examples): UN Global Compact Principles, cutting across all NCBP. Fundamental ILO Conventions and ILO Tripartite Declaration for Multinational Entreprises OECD Guidelines for MNEs Nestlé Policy on Environmental Sustainability and Water Commitments And: «Where our principles and regulations are stricter than local legislation, the higher standard applies».
Water: The Nestlé Commitments Clean drinking water facilities in Mozambique in partnership with IFRC Peter Brabeck proactive in international fora
Why is water important to a food and beverage company? Agriculture - raw materials 70% of global water withdrawal 3000 l of water per kg of raw material low efficiency Processing washing, cooking 4 l of water per kg of product sold Consumer use food preparation, hygiene Bottled water Nestlé Waters uses 0.0009% of global freshwater
Creating Shared Value: Water Helping tomato farmers use 50% less water, Parma, Italy Irrigating dairy farms in Moga, India, while mapping supply chain water use with IWMI Clean water and sanitation for 50,000, especially women, in Côte d Ivoire
Responsibility to Respect Water Stress Index for Direct Operations Two main types of water stress indicators - Freshwater availability per capita: the smaller the amount of water available per person in a river basin, the higher the water stress. Focus on areas where competition around water among different sectors is strong and will exacerbate (World Resources Institute- Washington DC). - Water withdrawals to water availability: the larger the volume of water withdrawn, used and discharged back into a river, the more it is degraded and/or depleted, and the higher the water stress. The higher the water stress the stronger the competition between society s users and between society and ecosystem requirements (ETH, Institute for Environmental Engineering Zürich).

Responsibility to Respect Water Resources Review for Direct Operations The WRR program is deployed in factories with high water related challenges: - located in specific water stressed/water scarce regions and/or - use of large amount of water in their process and/or - represent a strategic interest in value creation and/or - possible recorded issues encountered in the local water resources management.
Water Resources Review 5 Pillars 1.Quantity (alignment with long term water needs at factory level, factory water use mapping, risk of groundwater management in critical environments: aquifers overexploitation, abstraction of non renewable water resources, ) 2. Quality (awareness in health/quality issues by stakeholders, evolution of groundwater properties, quality monitoring, contamination risks upstream and downstream, access right quality of water for the different factory users, ) 3. Regulatory Compliance (more restrictive and fast changing regulations worldwide, ensure availability and respect of needed drilling and water abstraction licenses, occurrence/impact of governmental/local water policies, ) 4. Site Protection (ensure active/passive security measures on water supply points and distribution systems; ensure groundwater protection practices, ) 5. Stakeholder Relations (risk for long term allocations in water com-petitive environments, i.e.: irrigation vs. domestic/industrial needs; relationships with local stakeholders on water topics, community outreach programs within Nestlé CSV: land/well owners, authorities, communities, pressure groups, ).
At the same time: Human Rights Due Diligence Process with the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR), including Water. Two year Global Partnership. Starting: WSI Mapping and WRR-type Assessments in Agricultural Supply Chain. And of course Beyond Respect: Since 2006, Global Water and Sanitation Initiative IFRC; LWF/IFAPA Water and Reconciliation since 2008, etc.
