Nestle has tapped into the water supply in developing markets like Pakistan. As a result the water table is lowered (and quality of water drops) so people in the area cannot get access to clean water from local wells, and are forced to purchase Nestle "pure life" water at an insane markup. Scroll down to page 25 and look for: "9. Human Rights Concerns about Nestlé’s ‘Pure Life’" http://www.alliancesud.ch/en/policy/climate/downloads/nestle-pakistan.pdf http://www.alliancesud.ch/en/policy/climate/downloads/nestle... Nestle is not the sole water extractor that is causing this issue, but their business model (extract local water, bottle, mark-up, sell) is unconscionable in _this_ context. They aren't adding value, they are simply taking advantage of a developing country's weak regulatory framework. Their business model (for this particular product) would not be immoral in an environment where access to local water was abundant.
