In response to water scarcity and a desire to stimulate similar innovation across its businesses, Nestlé S.A., which is headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland, and has operations in 197 countries with 339,000 employees, has expanded its dairy factory in Jalisco, Mexico, transforming it into the company’s first “zero water” manufacturing site in the world, meaning that the plant will not use any local freshwater resources for its operations—including plant cleaning. Over the last 60 years, water availability per person has declined drastically in Mexico due to population growth. Operating in a water-stressed area, it made sense to introduce technology that saves 1.6 million liters of groundwater per day, which is important for the continued well-being of local populations.
