The Path to Zero-Waste
Successful companies understand the importance of creating value for a broad spectrum of stakeholders: customers, employees, and society as a whole. But when environmental challenges are ever more pressing, how can established companies undertake increasingly ambitious sustainability goals while remaining competitive in the marketplace?
In this Issues in Depth call, Nestle Waters North America’s EVP of Corporate Affairs, Heidi Paul, will explore how her company is evolving their approach to sustainability from one which focused only within the four walls of their operations, to policy advocacy and building coalitions around common goals that support a zero-waste mindset. NWNA is looking at zero-waste to go beyond its own operations and apply to end-of-use consumer packaging. Heidi will share how NWNA has focused on the end-of-life of their bottles, and how people will need to work together, across silos, to make zero-waste a viable possibility.
Heidi Paul is the Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs and serves on the executive board of Nestlé Waters North America. Since 2002, she has been responsible for all aspects of Corporate Citizenship including environmental and community responsibility, corporate communications, government relations and consumer affairs for the company’s 15 bottled water brands and bottled tea products.
Heidi also participates on the Nestle global Water Task Force and leads the Nestle U.S. Creating Shared Value team.
As Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Heidi has led an evolving program to demonstrate the company’s commitments through three award-winning, corporate social responsibility reports.
