This investment by Nestlé further demonstrates ZonesCorp’s
ability to attract leading global
brands to our Industrial Cities.”
The new factory responds to increasing demand for high quality
bottled water brands in the region. It will be built to the highest standards in environmental
sustainability, making it one of
the most water- and energy-efficient bottling facilities, in line with
commitments made in the first
Nestlé in Society report for the
Middle East, published in 2015,
in which the company vowed to
“Work to achieve water efficiency
and sustainability across our op-
erations,” and “Improve resource
efficiency in our operations.”
We will ensure that our factory is
water efficient and that it benefits
the local communities. In the Middle East, our 15 water factories
have improved the water efficiency
of their bottling activities by 40%
in the last four years, resulting in
water savings of 1.8 million m3.
In addition to its production investments in the country, Nestlé
is also committed to “Promote
healthy hydration as part of a
healthy lifestyle,” as published in
the Nestlé in Society report for
the Middle East. Nestlé Waters
collaborates with international
NGO Project WET to raise awareness among children about water conservation, with initiatives
so far reaching nearly 22,000
active participants among students and teachers in schools
across the UAE since 2010.
