Reading one of my classmate’s blog last night, I saw a very interesting one mentioned that Nestlé Water Canada did not pay for water resource in BC. However, another Nestlé factory in Ontario is charged of $3.71 per million liters of water, which does not make huge difference. In fact, although it is not required for them to measure and report their water withdrawals to the government, Nestlé voluntarily reports the data to the District of Hope. Additionally, Nestlé actually shows social responsibility in company’s behavior.

My fundamental idea is inspired by to Calvin’s blog “Kellogg Wants Suppliers to Report Carbon Emissions”. I strongly agree that social responsibility and business ethics of companies are highly regarded these days, and Nestlé is doing a good job creating its image. Firstly, Nestlé has topped a list of global companies in efforts to disclose and cut carbon emissions. According to José Lopez, who is Nestlé Executive Vice President and Head of Operations, Nestlé has halved greenhouse gas emissions from factories per ton of product since 2001. Also, Nespresso evaluate their sustainability carefully, and it supports coffee farmers to adopt sustainable practices, thereby reducing the environmental impact.
