Developed in association with the Food and Drink Federation (FDF), the e-learning resource is designed to help improve awareness and understanding of the value, use and management of water.
The course promises to help deliver a basic knowledge of what can be done to save water and manage its use effectively and sets out “golden rules” and tips on how to transform the knowledge into action from the supply chain to the Board room and throughout operations.
Earlier this year, Nestlé announced a 36% reduction in absolute water usage since 2006 - well ahead of the Federation House Commitment target to reduce total water consumption by 20% by 2020 – which, according to Neil Stephens, managing director of Nestlé Professional “is testament to the fact that we care deeply about the water challenge, are dedicated to taking action and acknowledge that we have a leading role to play through our own operations”.
Peter Andrews at the Food at Drink Federation added: “The global water challenge poses a very real threat to the foodservice industry and collectively, we have a responsibility to preserve global freshwater availability. But not everyone knows how they can make a difference. We are very pleased that Nestlé Professional has created this resource and continue to promote our ‘Every Last Drop’ campaign.”
