We support the Mogi+çgua project, created by Instituto Trata Brasil and the Municipal Agriculture Department of Mogi das Cruzes (SP), which works to install portable sewage treatment plants in rural properties in the municipality. The technology used in the program was developed by one of the startups of the Braskem Labs program and helps to reduce sewage and generate water to irrigate plants and wash floors. This is one of our joint actions with the Customer chain and has the potential to benefit around 70% of the rural population. The first collection demonstrated that the project has already reached the expected treatment efficiency in relation to organic matter, and the treated effluent was considered suitable for discharge into a seepage pit. The compact sanitary sewage system called Gota, originating from Braskem Labs, has been approved in 4 collection campaigns for the sewage pilot project for rural areas in Mogi das Cruzes (SP). Braskem continues in alignment with its sustainable development policy, seeking to consolidate its position as a provider of solutions in basic sanitation, in joint actions with its customer chain with the potential to benefit almost 70% of the rural population, representing close to 23 million Brazilians who do not have access to sanitary sewage.

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.
