World Environment Day

In April 2018, Nestlé set a bold ambition to make 100% of our packaging either recyclable or reusable by 2025.

As part of that pledge, we are committed to playing an active role in the development of well-functioning collection, sorting and recycling schemes across all the countries where we operate through collaborating with other stakeholders.

A lot of the hard work is already taking place in our markets around the world.

Xylem Watermark & Project 24: Repok Bunut, Indonesia

As with many other communities in the east of Lombok, Repuk Bunut Village struggles to access clean water. For the more than 1,250 residents in this village, only 14 wells are actively used to meet the daily water needs. The water is dirty and harmful when consumed. Unfortunately, there is no other choice but to use the contaminated water, which can lead to illnesses that greatly affect the education of local students.

Access to clean water and water hygiene education are both necessary to provide these chidlren with a better, healthier life. The AquaTower provided to this community by Xylem Watermark and Planet Water Foundation during Project 24 will help to bring that needed change.

The Wendy's Way: Supporting National Foster Care Month

When some people think of May, their minds are immediately drawn to Cinco de Mayo, or a timely Star Wars joke on May Fourth. However, while we love a good fiesta and we’re no “wookies” when it comes to making a pun – see what we did there? – we think the most important thing about May is that it’s National Foster Care Month: a month where we focus even more than usual on driving positive change within the foster care system through activities that support the adoption journey.
