Project Overview

We partnered with industry and research peers to launch the Groundwater Modelling Decision Support Initiative (GMDSI) in October 2019. The GMDSI is an industry-funded project designed to improve the contribution of groundwater modelling in supporting environmental management and decision-making (see the Groundwater Modelling Support Initiative (GMDSI) case study). The GMDSI reflects our recognition of the value that deep knowledge brings to addressing water challenges.

Project Narrative

Water is a shared resource, so protecting it must be a shared responsibility. We pursue joint actions to safeguard vulnerable water sources, developing a wide pool of collective knowledge. Demonstrating our commitment In 2008, a consortium of leaders came together to establish the 2030 Water Resources Group (2030 WRG). NestlŽ has been a member of this consortium from the start, and a dedicated supporter ever since. The 2030 WRG has a simple purpose: to build strong partnerships in pursuit of more sustainable water management. To date, we have added 14 countries to the 2030 WRG. We must also be diligent about improving our own water stewardship _ which is why we have implemented the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard in 41 locations. Our bottled water factory in Ontario, California, exemplifies what dedication can achieve, receiving platinum-level AWS certification, the highest accolade possible.
