The Philippines faces an alarming water problem that we should focus on, and it keeps growing towards crisis dimensions as our population increases. Fresh water is essential to life, but it is a limited resource composing only three percent of all the water on the planet. And it is diminishing.
One of Nestlé PH’s key areas in caring for water is protecting shared water sources like watersheds through their tree-growing activities. Factories. In 2022, Nestlé PH reduced water usage at its factories by using high-efficiency equipment designs; improving production processes and the condensation recovery rate; and employing effluent recycling and process clean water recovery, and recycling systems. Effluent recycling, in particular, involves treating factory wastewater to make it clean and reusable for other purposes.
Watersheds. In watershed rehabilitation, Nestlé PH continues to support the conservation of the Ipo Watershed, a vital link in the Angat-Umiray-Ipo Watershed that supplies 98 percent of Metro Manila’s water. Since the start of the project in 2016, 175 hectares of denuded land have already been reforested, with 64,050 trees grown in the watershed.
