Fresh water is a
vital yet limited resource. For our
sustainable skincare products, we at
NIVEA are working to minimize water consumption in our production processes. We have committed to specific and measurable targets: by 2025, we plan to have reduced our water consumption by 25 percent per manufactured product versus the 2018 baseline. To achieve this target, we will imple
ment water recycling options and reuse wastewater wherever possible.
As the availability of
fresh water is dependent on location, we conduct annual water risk analyses for all our production sites. In these analyses, we look closely at the regional availability of
freshwater, the respective water quality, and the
fresh water require
ments of the communities neighboring our production sites. These are all important factors in the production of sustainable
skincare.
