Nestl is also a ounding signatory o the UN GlobalCompact CEO Water Mandate, whose reportingrequirements are refected in the structure o this report.We actively engage in the public policy debate aroundwater and advocate or better understanding o theconsequences o mistaken biouels policies. We hopethat the Rio+20 summit will deliver an unequivocalcommitment to no ood or uel. Food is or people;waste may be used or uel.
It is our rm conviction that access to adequate, saeresh water is a human right. Beyond the need or hydratioand basic hygiene, sustainable water policies shouldadequately price water to cover costs and refect its truevalue (and scarcity).
We strongly believe that or a company to be successu
in the long term, it must create value or its shareholdersand at the same time or the communities where it operateand or society at large. We call this Creating Shared ValueAnalysing our entire value chain, we have identied threeocus areas where Nestl can optimise the creation oshared value: besides water, these are nutrition and ruraldevelopment. So while water is the main theme o thisreport, you will also read about our other two priority areasas well as our progress and challenges in EnvironmentalSustainability and in Compliance; the essential oundationso Creating Shared Value. As part o this, we also reiterateour continued strong support or the UN Global Compact
and its Blueprint. Nestl is a ounding member o UN GlobaCompact LEAD.In nutrition, through our support or the UN initiative
Every Woman Every Child, Nestl committed to continuingto address todays health challenges by expanding itsglobal Healthy Kids Programme to teach children about thevalue o nutrition and physical activity. We are also creatingmore opportunities or women through income-generatingactivities and continuing to provide access to education,
At the current rate, the overuse o reshwater will severelyslow economic development. Worse, it will be the causeo massive ood shortages within the next 15 to 20 years.Exacerbating the problem will be a urther 2.3 billionpeople on the planet by 2050, adding to existing demandor ood and energy, which both critically dependon reshwater.
As the worlds leading Nutrition, Health and WellnessCompany, Nestl too, at every level, depends on reliableaccess to clean water, in order to maintain our abilityto meet our consumers needs. We thereore care deeplyabout water and remain committed to act. This year wehave reviewed the ve W.A.T.E.R. commitments we set outin our 2006 Water Report, ensuring that these continue todrive water perormance through our operations, supply
chain and with communities. We are now working on a seto perormance indicators to monitor our progress.
Water is a local issue. But the eects o local shortagesquickly become global issues in todays interlinkedeconomies. While we can have an impact through our ownoperations, a truly sustainable solution can only comerom a collaborative response rom multiple stakeholders;so we are actively promoting global dialogue on waterwhile also engaging in direct actions in our own right.
In recent years, water has moved to the top o the globalagenda. In 2008, the World Economic Forum establishedthe 2030 Water Resources Group, bringing together key
players in addressing this issue, and highlighting the criticalstatus o water availability.This group, under the leadership o the Nestl Chairman,
has elaborated a landmark report Charting Our Water Future,whose key ndings are now being transormed into concreteactions under the leadership o national governments,together with other stakeholders. This is an important rststep to bring reshwater withdrawals back into balancewith natural renewal.
A message rom our Chairman and CEO
By 2050 we will have to eed 9.3 billion people and ood production has todouble. The key is water, the scarcest natural resource on earth. At thecurrent rate o overuse, we will run out o water long beore we run out o oilThis is why we say: no ood or uel.

Creating Shared Value Summary Repor t 2011
For several years, Nestl has worked with SustainAbility,an independent think tank and strategy consultancy, toundertake a systematic prioritisation of the issues deemedmost critical and therefore material to our Company.
Based in part on a media and competitive scan,
SustainAbility identied global megatrends, assessedtheir relevance to our CSV focus areas and economic,environmental and social issues, and prioritised issues ona materiality matrix based on level of stakeholder concernand level of potential impact on Nestl. Following internal
validation of this work, key topics were discussed withexternal stakeholders in Autumn 2011 as part of our regularengagement processes (see page 40 for an overview ofour stakeholder engagement).
Megatrends
SustainAbility identied the following megatrends asparticularly important for Nestl: resource constraints,economic uncertainty, demographic shifts (includingurbanisation, ageing and the rise of middleclassconsumers), health and wellness, climate change, and
continuing technological developments.
MaterialitySustainAbilitys analysis, along with the stakeholderconvenings in New Delhi and London, identied a number
of issues that are new and/or rising in importance for Nestlcompared to previous years. The highestpriority issuesare highlighted by SustainAbility as follows:
The growing number of product recalls means productsafety continues to be a top concern for Nestl and thefood and beverage industry, with a specic focus on
allergens in India. Water, the theme of this report, and itscomplex links to food, energy and a range of other social,environmental and economic issues, continues to rise onthe agenda. While climate change mitigation remainsa central concern, stakeholder interest in climate change
adaptation is rising as the effects of climate change beginto make themselves felt, particularly in rural communities.Given rising obesity, unemployment and poverty in manyregions, the affordability and accessibility of healthfulfoods are becoming specic targets for industry initiatives
and stakeholder concern in Europe, the US and India, toname three regions. Ten years after the signing of theHarkinEngel Protocol aimed at ending child labour in theproduction of cocoa, supplier human rights remains a keyand growing area of stakeholder interest across a widerange of agricultural and other sectors. Finally, general
resource availability is taking centre stage as raw materialprices and commodity volatility reach unprecedentedlevels and supply appears to be becoming more inelastic.SustainAbilitys analysis of issues, prioritisedaccording to level of impact on Nestl and level of
stakeholder concern, is available in the materiality matrixat www.nestle.com/csv/materiality.

the human right to water and on the environmen
Despite Nestl Waters status as the worldwide leadein bottled water, we are a small water user (our globaoperations amount to only 0.0009% o global estimatreshwater withdrawals). We use water not only in theitsel but also in industrial processes, including cleaniand cooling, and depend on a reliable supply o watesucient quantity and consistent quality to ensure thlong-term success o our business. Our vision is toprovide good quality products where consumers expto nd them and to play a leading role in promotinghealthy hydration.
We are thereore deeply aware o how precious wais and are committed to responsible water managemwhich we base on three main approaches. First, wecontinuously monitor the status o each o the sourceoperate. Second, we carry out risk assessments and measures in place to saeguard sources against any prisks. The third main approach is that we optimise the
water used during production on a continuous basis. urther, Nestl Waters shares its expertise and best pin water resource management with stakeholders in tlocal communities in which we operate. We are equacommitted to educating children, the water stewardsuture, about the importance o water or the environand the role o water in healthy hydration.

Water has become the most pressing global environmental issuerepresenting a serious long-term risk or our business and society as a whNestl is determined to play a leading role in tackling the water challenge
The water crisisThough we have enough reshwater across the world as a whole,a growing, more prosperous andincreasingly urban population,combined with the impact o climatechange, is making water scarcitya serious reality in many parts othe world.
By 2030, demand or water isorecast to be 50% higher than today,and withdrawals could exceed naturalrenewal by over 60%, resulting inwater scarcity or a third o the worlds
population (source: 2030 WaterResources Group). With more thantwo thirds o all water being withdrawnby agriculture, ood security is also atstake i we are not able to solve theworlds water crisis.
Increasing supply and improvingeciency will only take us so ar.Meeting the rest o the challenge willrequire policymakers, civil society,agriculture and industry to worktogether to signicantly improve the
way we value, use and manage thisprecious resource.

We admit that there are real and signicant challenges withregard to water management in our country. In this regard,we have already begun to think creatively about dierentways o preserving and protecting this precious resource,thus making more water available or economic growth andthe creation o decent jobs.
South Arica is a water-scarce country with a low rainall about 50% o the world average and one o the lowestrun-os in the world. Rainall is also highly seasonal, witharound 80% occurring within a span o ve months. Whilethis raises many concerns regarding water availabilityand security in the country, the South Arican governmentbelieves that i we manage our resources well and usewater judiciously, there will be no imminent shortage owater. Current projections indicate that South Arica will,
in all probability, exceed the limits o our economicallyuseable land-based water resources by 2050. However, mydepartment is working on innovative measures to ensurethat there will be clean water or human consumption oruture generations.
We have no option but to change our behaviour andattitudes towards water use, as part o our ongoingendeavours to build sustainable livelihoods or the peopleo our country. Indeed, i we do not change the way we useour water resources, challenges will be experienced in ourinitiatives to make more water available or economic growthand the creation o decent jobs. Water limitations will create
constraints to meet the energy generation capacity weneed or economic growth. It will also impact negatively onthe agricultural sectors ability to create jobs and provideood security or our country. The mining and industrialsectors will also experience constraints in contributing toeconomic growth and employment creation.
We thereore have a collective responsibility toproactively protect our water resources. In this regard, thework that Nestls Mossel Bay actory in South Arica hasdone in reducing its water consumption by 50% in 2010is to be applauded. It is encouraging to note thereare companies that look internally into their processesto improve the ecient use o water, thereby encouragingother water users to do the same.
We also congratulate Nestl as the winner o the2011 Stockholm Industry Water Award or its leadership,perormance and eorts to improve water managementwithin its supply chain globally. The education o thegeneral public on water conservation continues to be highlimperative. Thus, we have begun with campaigns aimedat raising awareness about water conservation and
encouraging our communities to get involved in wagingwar against water wastage. We have also commenceda programme to desalinate sea water or domesticconsumption in severely water-stressed areas.
Collectively, these interventions contribute towardsmaking more water available to allow our country to pursuthe strategic objective o growing the economy andcreating more decent jobs. To improve the collaborationwith business, we signed a Memorandum o Agreementwith the Water Resources Group (WRG), an infuentialpublic-private global network on water, supportedby the World Economic Forum and the International
Finance Corporation. The intent is to orge a partnershipwith WRG through a public-private group, chaired by aDirector-General o my department, to oversee the activitieto address critical water issues in South Arica: waterconservation, demand management and developing moresustainable management o groundwater resources.
By Edna Molewa
Expert opinion:the view rom South Arica
In our country o about 50 million people, we ace the challenge o reshwatescarcity which is exacerbated by its growing demand, pollution o its sourcesunsustainable usage and wastage. Factors such as climate changeand population growth also lead to an increase in water consumption.

Public sector leaders and non-governmental organisationshave long dominated the debate on water policy but over thelast decade, a growing number o private sector companies(with Nestl playing a leading role) have also started toengage, on two tracks.
Track One is being dened by companies that aredeveloping technologies that can enable society to get moreproduct more ood, energy, income, employment perdrop o water. There are three broad segments. The rstcomprises companies that develop productivity-enhancingseeds and agricultural technologies. A second segmento companies is developing new technologies or treatingwater and wastewater. The third segment comprisescompanies that provide users with just-in-time and

o rainall, on soil moisture, on water and on ertilizerrequirements. Precision agriculture can produce much morecrop per drop than traditional methods can, and industriesand cities can use much less water too.
Track Two is motivated by the understanding thatgrowing concerns o water scarcity and quality can becomea threat to a companys social licence to operate. Companieshave responded in several ways. Some have made largedonations to activist groups in the hopes o buying peace;others have ocused on the water standards that they canthen meet in their plants. The most ar-sighted o thesecompanies, however with Nestl a leading example among
them recognise that while companies have to managewater and other resources eciently behind their actorygate, society (along with companies and their suppliers)needs an equitable, eciency-stimulating, and predictablelegal and regulatory environment that governs all water usesin a watershed. These companies also believe that privatebusinesses have useul and legitimate inputs to make intothe policy ormulation process.
I have seen, rst-hand, two examples where companiesare engaging on this big stage.
The rst example was in Brazil, where improving thequality o public sector perormance is, arguably, the biggesystemic challenge acing the country. Eight years ago, anewly elected Governor o one o the largest states realisedthis but did not have the people or tools to address theproblem. The Governor approached executives rom twoo Brazils most successul high-morale companies (InBevand Gerdau). Together, they laid down two basic groundrules: that they would assist only i the eort were led bythe Governor, and there would be very careul avoidance oeven the hint o a confict o interest. The companies thenprovided human and nancial resources, which the stateused to execute a hugely successul management shock
a process that is now being emulated in a dozen otherBrazilian states.
The second example is in Pakistan, where theChie Minister o the largest province is pulling togetherpublic and private expertise to address the existentialchallenges o water productivity and water security.The private eort has been led by the local private sector,with multinationals led by Nestl playing a strongsupporting role.
Nestl engages or three reasons. First, its corporatephilosophy o Creating Shared Value plays a major role,because Nestl in Lahore is not just the milk actory,
but includes the 190 000 armers who provide milk tothe actory. These armers tell Nestl that water is a majorchallenge not only or their cattle, but or their cropsand their amilies.
Second, Pakistan is an important and protablemarket or Nestl and the Company realises that itscorporate well-being is dependent on a moreprosperous and secure country.

Expert opinion:the business o water
Water insecurity looms as one o the great challenges o the 21st century,and it is one that policy makers and business leaders must ace together.

And third, while Nestl is, o course, a multinationain any place (like Pakistan) it is at least as much local ainternational. One o Pakistans most ar-sighted busileaders is a major shareholder, and Nestls sta is alexclusively Pakistani. And every Pakistani knows just vulnerable his or her country is when it comes to watAnd so Nestl like InBev and Gerdau in Brazil is puits management know-how at the service o reorminpolitical leaders, and encouraging other domestic andinternational companies to do the same.

The global context
The ever-expanding demand orwater by the worlds growing, moreprosperous and increasingly urbanisedpopulation, combined with theimpacts o climate change policiesand responses, mean that water is oincreasing strategic importance orbusiness and economic prosperity. Yetwater scarcity is a reality in many partso the world and with it, livelihoods,human health and entire ecosystemsare under threat.
In 20 years, demand or water willbe 50% higher than today and a third o
the worlds population will experiencewater scarcity, aecting the productiono staple oods, while reshwaterwithdrawals are expected to exceednatural renewal by over 60% by 2030(source: 2030 Water Resources Group).Expanding supply and improvingeciency will only ractionally reducethis gap, so policymakers, civil societyand businesses need to work togetherto dramatically improve how water isvalued and managed.
Our contribution to
public policy debate
Water has been an issue o concernand action or us since the 1930s,when we built our rst wastewatertreatment plant. Today, we remainactive and concerned, exemplied bythe engagement o Nestl Chairman
Peter Brabeck-Letmathe with the WorldEconomic Forum (WEF) over manyyears, including its Annual Meeting inDavos, Switzerland, in January 2011(see www.weorum.org).
Since 2008, we have also playeda leading role in the 2030 WaterResources Group (WEF-WRG);ormed with the International FinanceCorporation o the World Bank Group,McKinsey & Company and a consortiumo business partners. Under theleadership o Mr Brabeck-Letmathe, theWEF-WRG seeks new insights into waterscarcity, explores the opportunities and
costs o possible solutions, and ostersresults-based stakeholder dialogue.Beyond the debate, we also want to bepart o the solution with our own eortswithin the context o a cost-eective,comprehensive strategy.
Charting Our Water Future
Ater a year-long collaboration, theWEF-WRG published its landmarkreport, Charting Our Water Future, inNovember 2009. As well as providing
a clear insight into global challenges,the work also provides practical tools tohelp stakeholders compare the impact,scale, cost, trade-os and eectivenesso dierent measures and technologiesto reduce the water gap at a watershedlevel, enabling water management tobe integrated into wider economic andsocial decisions.

The water cost curve is a keytool, designed to add to stakeholderunderstanding by providing acomprehensive assessment osupply- and demand-side leversthat can bring water withdrawals inindividual watersheds back into linewith natural renewal.
India, or example, has longinvested heavily in large-scale waterinrastructure but managing its waterresources remains a key challenge.
In Charting Our Water Future, theWEF-WRG analysed 140 measuresand selected 37 that could help closeIndias projected supply/demand gapacross 19 major catchment areas. Ithe cheapest options were selectedor managing water resources,annual expenditure in 2030 would beUSD 5.9 billion.
Testing the water cost curveUltimately, solutions are needed orwatersheds, river basins and aquiersand the WEF-WRG already leads theway through several multi-stakeholderpilot projects to assist governmentsin setting priorities and developingstrategies.
In Mexico (see cost curve above),an intense eort has been madeto carry out rigorous prospectivescenarios in each o the countrys

Driving operational efciency
As part o our commitment to driveoperational eciency, we are ocusedon reducing water withdrawal andincreasing reuse, using alternative watersources such as rainwater harvesting andcontinually working to improve the watereciency o our products. We aim toreturn clean water to the environment.
Determining water management
action plans
Assessing the water-related risks acingour actories is crucial to identiyingwhere to prioritise our water management
eorts. The risk o reduced water quantityor quality physical risk is oten linkedto local competition among domestic,industrial and agricultural users.
Our actories are widespread in allcontinents and thereore share the samegeographical distribution o water stresslevel aced by our suppliers, customersand consumers. From our CombinedWater-Stress Index, which takes anaverage o two leading publicly availablewater-stress indicators (water withdrawals
to availability ratio; estimated annualrenewable water supply per personor 2025), we evaluate that 40% o ouractories are located in water-stressedregions, and 10% are situated in areaso severe water scarcity. Especially inwater stressed areas, we strive to be themost ecient water user. We conductWater Resources Reviews in these
actories rst a process through whichwe evaluate the long-term availability owater resources around our actories,and through which we engage withstakeholders rom academia, civil societyand the public sector in order to addresswater management beyond our actorygates at a watershed level to raiseawareness, identiy key issues and deviseaction plans.
The approach outlined above ensuresthat our operations not only respect thehuman right to water, but at the sametime consider collective, long-term, localwater sustainability.
We carried out Water ResourcesReviews around 11 sites in 2011 and atotal o 100 actories worldwide.
Improving water efciency
We aim to be the most ecient wateruser among ood manuacturers.We withdrew 143 million m3 o water in2011 , or 3.17 m3 per tonne o product ;this is 4% down rom 2010.

Partnerships on water impacts
in the supply chain
We are encouraging ecient watermanagement practices at a watershedlevel or example, through ourleadership o the SAI water andagriculture working group, and byimplementing and testing methodsdesigned to increase water useeciency on arms.
In India, or example, a new pilotproject led by SAI and run by theInternational Crops Research Instituteor the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT),uses a simple water impact calculator
to determine the amount o waterrequired under diering landormand irrigation conditions. Tests onrice, potatoes, tomatoes and ruit atve locations in Gujarat, Rajasthanand Andhra Pradesh revealed thatwater use could be reduced to around3040% by using the calculator,without aecting yields. ICRISATwill conduct urther tests on maizeand cotton during the monsoonperiod, and is also looking into the
easibility o armers providing datavia mobile phones.
Assessing water use in coffee
production
Growing coee, a major ingredientin many Nestl products, uses asignicant amount o water, andsometimes takes place in countries
where water is already scarce.To better understand and quantiypotential risks to key productioninputs such as water and to coeeitsel, we launched a study in 2011 inpartnership with the Swiss Agency orDevelopment and Cooperation (SDC),the International Water ManagementInstitute and EDE Consulting. Theinitiative includes: a global assessment o theconsumptive water use (waterconsumed in the production processwithout being returned) o coeeproduction at arm level;
a two-year, site-specic studyat Dak Lak in Vietnam.
In response to the rapid growtho Robusta coee productionin Vietnam, which has led todeorestation and land degradation,the study will promote the valueo water among smallholdersand recommend practical waysto optimise water use.

Nespresso AAA programme
In Colombia, one o the mostimportant coee sourcing countriesor Nespresso and the country withthe highest number o individual
AAA armers, the two main prioritieso the AAA programme are to join theeorts o the local coee authoritiesto regain the declining productivityo recent years and to address watermanagement, one o the main issues othe coee industry in the region.
At the end o 2011, 37 000 armersin Colombia have already joined theAAA Programme. Nespresso has beenworking closely with the FederacinNacional de Caeteros de Colombia
and other partners to create innovativeand ecient solutions to addresswater conservation issues. The rsto these has led to the installation o17 000 water treatment units including2700 in 20102011. The secondinitiative has been the co-nancingand implementation o a central mill inJardn, Antioquia (see page 25).
Local community partnerships
in Greece
In Greece, a Nestl Waters projectis supporting local communitiesin reducing potential threats to thequantity and quality o regional waterresources. The initiative, which beganin 2007, has involved hydrogeologicalinvestigation, assessing the
vulnerability o the local groundwaterand the identication o potentialdrilling sites in less water-scarceareas. Our engagement with localstakeholders in the planning processhas helped secure a win-win approachor the local authorities, the armersand their communities, and Nestl.
Guidelines on responsible
sourcing and water
We have recently begun introducingguidelines on the responsible use owater in agriculture. The guidelinesapply to all relevant agriculturaland orest-based raw materials andcomplement our Supplier Code andthe Responsible Sourcing Guidelines(RSGs) that we are developing andimplementing or 12 major agriculturalmaterials and packaging materials.The water guidelines contain generalrequirements on water managementin agriculture as well as specicprovisions or water-stressed areas.
We have also recently adaptedthe ten main principles o SAIs Waterand Agriculture Programme, throughwhich we engage with armerson areas such as water eciency,irrigation, pollution, drought-tolerantcrops and preventing leaks. From theseprinciples, we have introduced NestlsWater Guidelines or Suppliers oAgricultural Raw Materials to a series ocommodities through our responsiblesourcing guidelines. New materials
have also been developed to inorm,train and educate sourcing personnel,support sta and armers.

India
Partnerships and
awarenessraising
A 2010 joint study by Nestl and theInternational Water ManagementInstitute into the water intensity of miwheat and rice production in the Punja
determined that groundwater levelsare falling rapidly due to agricultural
overuse. Nestl India thereforedesigned a programme to raiseawareness among Punjab dairy farme
and another for school students, tohighlight the effects of overexploitatof groundwater and the remedialaction possible.
In 2011, we also joined aDepartment of Agriculture project to
learn about Systems of RiceIntensication (SRI): innovative paddycultivation techniques promoted byNGOs in Southern India that increaseyields using fewer seeds, pesticides a
fertilizers, and less water. The studycompared SRI and nonSRI yields for tsummer harvest and if results arepositive, we will extend the techniqueto our milk suppliers.

Due to serious civil unrest and
the displacement o thousandso people ollowing the 2010presidential elections, the IFRCsability to implement the activitiesplanned or 2011 was signicantlyrestricted, but the Nestle projectstechnical sta was temporarilyreocused to assist 31 000 peoplein 50 communities in Cte dIvoireand neighbouring Liberia with saedrinking water and hygiene-awarenesssupport. The Nestl-IFRC programme
in Cte dIvoire is part o theglobal 20102013 partnership oCHF 2.25 million on water andsanitation, ood security and the IFRCWorld Disasters Report. In 2011, wealso supported the emergency relieoperations o the IFRC and its NationalSocieties in Japan and the Horn oArica with a total o over CHF 800 000.
Meanwhile, in India, our WaterAwareness programme has been rolledout, promoting responsible water useamong children in schools near ouractories and installing 156 drinkingountains. These now provide 66 000students with clean drinking water.
