Artistic rendering of site. For further information, please visit www.nestle-waters.ca Application Process STEP 1 Each stage of this siting project is transparent to the community. This includes the public notice period and the opportunity for all interested stakeholders to provide their comments. All permit application materials are publicly available by contacting Ontario Ministry We are required to file of Environment. a permit-to-take-water application with Ontario Ministry of Environment in order to undertake an aquifer test to verify whether or not the water on the Middlebrook site meets Nestlé Waters’ strict quality and quantity requirements. The Ministry posts that application on its Environmental Registry for 30 days for comment by all stakeholders and, once it has received all commentary, Ministry staff then review all materials related to the application and determine whether or not the application will be approved – and under what conditions it will be approved. STEP 2 STEP 3 We perform the aquifer test, according to the requirements of the permit. If we determine that the water is of a satisfactory quality and quantity and we wish to have the source approved we are required to file a permit-to-take-water application with Ontario Ministry of Environment, accompanied by independently researched hydrological, biological studies and a corporate business plan. STEP 4 STEP The Ministry posts that material on its Environmental Registry for 30 days for comment. Ministry staff then review all materials related to the application and determine whether or not the application will be approved – and under what conditions it will be approved. 5 Approximate Timeline JULY 2015 JUNE 2016 For further information, please visit www.nestle-waters.ca Being a Good Neighbour There are many local charities and causes in Wellington County that count on Nestlé Waters Canada for support such as: We believe corporate responsibility is more than just good business – it’s a bond we share with the communities in which we live and serve. Being a good neighbour comes in various forms including support of local community programs and emergency support. Helping to beautify and protect our local surroundings The Friends of Mill Creek What it is: Friends of Mill Creek is a volunteer, community-based organization that supports landowners in rehabilitating Mill Creek by undertaking fisheries and stream works, including stream bank reconstruction, stream bed re-grading, tree planting, culvert replacement and farm fencing repair. Our role: Since 2003, we have donated $121,350 through a fund administered by the Grand River Conservation Foundation to help carry out critical fisheries and stream rehabilitation work. Green Legacy Programme What it is: The Green Legacy Programme was created to plant 150,000 trees in celebration of the County of Wellington’s 150th anniversary. That idea has grown to more than 1.7 million trees planted across the County by community partners, making it the largest municipal tree planting program in North America. Our role: We’ve planted 4,000 trees on our Puslinch property in 2014 and plan to plant again this year. The Company has planted 14,000 trees on its Puslinch and Hillsburgh properties since 2012. Adopt-A-Road Programme What it is: The County of Wellington coordinates an Adopt-A-Road programme for county roadside clean-up. The programme is a public service initiative for volunteers to enhance the communities where they live by picking up litter along road right-of-ways. Our role: Under the programme, we have adopted a section of road allowance along Wellington Road 34 between the Hanlon Expressway and the Wellington/Halton County Line and have kept it clean since 2008. Nestlé Waters employees undertake a spring and fall clean-up drive each year, taking to the roads and picking up debris.

For further information, please visit www.nestle-waters.ca Our Commitment to Water Sustainability As a beverage industry, we are entirely dependent upon secure supplies of water in sufficient quantity and consistent quality. To ensure this, we actively manage our water resources. We understand that water is a renewable resource, but needs to be monitored carefully to ensure that it’s available not just today, but for the future. MONITORING: EDUCATION: We manage our water resources We take our responsibility as stewards seriously. That’s why we’re actively involved with conservation and education efforts, both on the local and national level such as: using extensive scientific research as well as government input overseen by our hydrogeologist. This careful management starts with how we select our sources, and continues through on-going monitoring of our sources and the surrounding environment. Regular interpretation of data is critical and allows us to implement immediate action including temporarily reducing or stopping bottled water production. Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) – a global education programme that promotes water awareness among millions of children and their teachers. Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning – a non-profit organization providing outdoor education, recreation and ecological awareness in the Fraser Valley watershed in British Columbia. Friends of Mill Creek Stewardship Rangers – a coalition of provincial agencies, non-governmental organizations, corporations and individuals who work with landowners and other partners to develop, promote and implement projects that will maintain and enhance Mill Creek as a healthy cold water ecosystem by hiring students during the summer to complete the work and participate in lectures and demonstrations from professionals in the natural resources field. For further information, please visit www.nestle-waters.ca Public Spaces Recycling A Proven Solution to Combat Canada’s Away-from-Home Recycling Challenge The beverage industry, in partnership with governments, created Public Spaces Recycling to capture the “last mile” of recyclables – items typically captured through curbside recycling programs that are abandoned by consumers in parks, recreational facilities, transit stops, public schools and gas stations. Examples of Public Spaces Recycling supported by Nestlé Waters Canada include: Richmond – BC’s First Public Spaces Recycling Program The amount of recyclables headed to landfill was reduced by 79%. Encorp Pacific made Public Spaces Recycling as a permanent component of its deposit program in 2013. Calgary – Alberta’s First Public Spaces Recycling Program The program diverted 89% of beverage containers from landfills. ABCRC made Public Spaces Recycling a permanent component of its deposit program in 2014. Manitoba – North America’s First Permanent Public Spaces Initiative When the Manitoba program was unveiled, the province had about a 43% diversion rate for beverage containers – the lowest in Canada. After just four years, thanks to Public Spaces Recycling, it is 64%. A pilot Public Spaces Recycling program in Portage La Prairie experienced a 95% diversion rate in parks, arenas and streetscapes. The hybrid recycling system, or “Manitoba model,” is being monitored for possible adoption by American and European governments. For further information, please visit www.nestle-waters.ca Public Spaces Recycling The Canadian beverage industry aims to have every one of its containers recycled, regardless of where they are consumed. Erin – Public Spaces Recycling Infrastructure $8,500 worth of public spaces recycling infrastructure donated. Guelph/Eramosa Facility – Royal Distributing Athletic Performance Centre, Marden Park $22,000 worth of Public Spaces Recycling infrastructure donated. Puslinch - Aberfoyle Public School $20,000 worth of Public Spaces Recycling infrastructure donated. Puslinch – Optimist Recreation Centre $16,000 worth of Public Spaces Recycling infrastructure donated. Sarnia – Ontario’s First Public Spaces Recycling Program The program diverted up to 84% of beverage containers from the waste stream. Halifax – Canada’s First Public Spaces Recycling Program to Feature Organics Collection The program achieved a recovery rate of 95% for beverage containers and 90% for all recyclable containers. Quebec – Canada’s First Public Spaces Recycling Program Quebec is achieving recycling diversion rates of up to 97% in its municipal away-from-home recycling programs. The Canadian Beverage Industry is currently seeking approval for the Government of Ontario to establish Public Spaces Recycling across the province as a permanent complement to the Blue Box Program.

After For further information, please visit www.nestle-waters.ca Our Commitment Pledge The following commitments will be our driving force during the evaluation of the Middlebrook site and beyond: Consult and engage with the community throughout the entire siting process. Conduct due diligence at Middlebrook including comprehensive hydrogeological studies to ensure the long-term sustainability of the site. C onsider the views of the community, stakeholders, local government and the regulatory agencies working with us on this proposed acquisition. P rovide high levels of protection for the well and neighbouring wells. A ctively manage the water supply and resulting traffic to ensure that our operations will not materially impact the local environment. Provide support to the Township of Centre Wellington community by being a responsible neighbour. For further information, please visit www.nestle-waters.ca Our Proposal The evaluation relates to confirmation that the groundwater meets its quality and quantity requirements and, further, that a new permit to take water may be issued to Nestlé Waters Canada by Ontario Ministry of Environment. Nestlé Waters Canada is currently evaluating the Middlebrook Water Co. source for potential acquisition to supplement its main production well in Aberfoyle. Like all of our water sources, we are committed to managing the Middlebrook water source sustainably so it’s ALWAYS there. We always follow a thorough due diligence process when exploring a new water source. Our evaluation at Middlebrook includes comprehensive hydrogeological studies to ensure the long-term sustainability of the site, as well as traffic management and air and noise studies to show how our operations will work with the local community. The current permit allows the present owner to draw water at an average rate of 300 gallons per minute (GPM). We are not seeking a permit that allows a draw that is more than the current permit. For further information, please visit www.nestle-waters.ca
