Nestlé CEO wishes he could bottle even more water in drought-stricken California

[IDemo]

Nestlé’s chief executive officer said he would not consider moving his company’s bottling operations out of California – which continues to struggle through a historic drought.

The corporate official said Nestlé would not follow Starbucks and stop drawing water from wells in the state – where personal use has been limited – and move elsewhere, reported KPCC-FM.

“Absolutely not,” said CEO Tim Brown. “In fact, if I could increase it, I would.”

Brown said the company’s water bottling operations serve a growing consumer demand – and he’s not willing to give up Nestlé’s market share.

5. What a stupid thing to say.

Kind of like how Barilla's CEO told gay customers who were unhappy with his homophobic remarks, "love it or leave it."

7. Compared to agricultural and industrial use, bottled water is a drop in an ocean. Nestle is no saint

but there are far larger abusers....focusing on just Nestle is what the corporate media want.
