"A key element of Nestlé’s Corporate Business Principles is that our business should not sacrifice long-term development for short term profit. Socially responsible and sustainable business practices are not an add-on: they are an essential component of our long-term strategy.
- Industry, and in particular a company whose main product is water, needs to ensure that its water supplies are constant and of good quality, thus sustainable management of the resources we operate is at the very core of our business. It would be self-defeating and bad business to deplete a water source in which significant funds have been invested.
- In addition to Nestlé's corporate group-wide quality requirements, which in many countries are above the standard required by law, we do of course also always comply with local law and regulations. In countries where markets are developing, regulatory frameworks are not always clear-cut and, operating a business can be a challenge."
