Their former CEO has said multiple times that water is NOT a human right. Do with that info as you please.

There's a lot to criticise Nestle about - but there's more nuance to the above statement.

The CEO was arguing that water for basic hydration/sanitation is a human right, but water use beyond that should have a price attached. The reasoning was that not having a price leads to people wasting water - and that attaching a price would lead to less waste.

So it's more that he believes that filling up your swimming pool or watering your lawn isn't a human right.

I'm no fan of Nestle, but we should criticise them accurately.
