Company to implement AWS Standard in all facilities by 2025
Nestlé Waters North America (NWNA), Stamford, Conn., announced that its Allentown, Pa., factories received certification under the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard. Created and supported by environmental conservation groups, development organizations and industry leaders, the AWS Standard is the first comprehensive global benchmark for responsible water stewardship across social, environmental, and economic criteria, the company says. This achievement was confirmed through audits conducted by SCS Global Services (SCS), a leading international third-party certification body, and sole certifier to the AWS standard in North America.
NWNA has committed to implementing the AWS Standard at all of its factories around the world by 2025. With the Allentown AWS certification, the company has so far certified 11 Nestlé Waters factories, including seven in North America, it says.
