OUR AGRIVAIR GARRIGUE PROGRAM​

Launched in July 2025, this program helps drive actions on water resources and biodiversity preservation around the PERRIER^® spring in the Gard region, where the brand has been established for over 160 years. ​ ​

Backed by a €25 million investment over five years, Agrivair Garrigue is based on a collaborative approach involving local stakeholders (local authorities, public and private partners, the farming community and non-profit organisations). ​ ​

This programme builds on the actions carried out for many years by Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages and its partners, including: ​ ​

The deployment of agroecological measures to support local biodiversity around the PERRIER^® source: more than 10,000 trees and shrubs planted since 2020, and more than 500 bird nesting boxes and bat shelters installed and monitored with the Centre Ornithologique du Gard since 2023. ​ ​

The protection of natural areas: 112 hectares of garrigue and traditional agroecosystems — including meadows, grasslands, olive groves and orchards — protected through the region's first forestry-related "Obligation Réelle Environnementale" contract with the Conservatoire d’Espaces Naturels d’Occitanie, signed in 2021*. ​ ​

The implementation of environmental awareness initiatives: installation of a first environmental educational trail in Vestric in 2025.​ ​

^*This contract, signed in 2021, ensures the protection of 112 hectares of forests, garrigue and traditional agroecosystems for 10 years through biodiversity contribution obligations, such as the ban on phytosanitary products in forest and garrigue areas. ​ ​
