Creating Shared Value – Community Partnerships
What we're doing today
Nestlé Waters North America is committed to having a social and economic impact in the communities where we have operations. We want to be a positive force in local communities, providing long-term mutual value.
Promoting Economic Vitality
Nestlé Waters North America invests in communities where we do business by creating productive jobs with good benefits, hiring local contractors, and generating tax revenue for local, state, and federal governments.
Moving Forward
Our commitment is to build strong relationships and operate in ways that benefit both the community and the company.
Be a preferred local employer providing quality jobs that contribute to local economic vitality
We strive to create a positive environment for our employees, provide competitive compensation and benefits, and engage our employees to ensure job satisfaction and long-term retention. We believe that diversity can spark innovation and drive business growth.
Operate with transparency and engage with our local communities
We have been working with internal and external stakeholders to develop a Community Siting Framework, which will help guide our siting process, identify areas where we can improve, and create a more consistent and open process to help us meet community expectations.
Help meet the needs of our local communities and those affected by disaster.
From disaster relief to employee volunteerism and community support, we have been supporting local community needs for many years. Now we are working to formalize our processes, strengthen our focus and create better systems to have greater impact.
Working Collaboratively With Communities
We have worked with internal and external stakeholders to develop a siting framework that will help us to listen and respond to community input during our spring source siting process.
Moving Forward
Our commitment is to build strong relationships and operate in ways that benefit both the community and the company.

To us, this means demonstrating integrity and accountability, working collaboratively, supporting community development projects, providing employment opportunities, and helping in times of need.
