By 2020, through robust water stewardship we'll ensure that our supply chain approach is sustainable in areas of water vulnerability.

Fresh water is the most precious natural resource in the world.

As population increases, the pressure to source water for our homes, farming and industry intensifies. Addressing water scarcity requires action at local and national levels. The challenge is to understand the true water footprint of everyday products better, and put in place measures that reduce water stress especially in areas of water vulnerability.

Our progress so far
