We protect the

environment


We have measured our environmental impact and are proud that our bottled waters have a lower carbon footprint compared to other packaged beverages.

Measuring and monitoring our impact enables us to identify the best actions to take to continually reduce our footprint and progress toward carbon neutrality.

The areas we focus on are:

  • Production, packaging and transporting our products from source to store
  • Energy and water usage – water used in cleaning and rinsing operations and energy used at our bottling facilities
  • Packaging ratios - the amount of packaging we use in relation to the total weight of the product content

The pie chart below illustrates the aspects of production that contribute to the carbon footprint of our products. Besides each section are the initiatives and strategies we are working on to reduce these impacts.

Environmental impact reduction is a core priority for us

What does carbon footprint mean?

A carbon foot print is defined by the Carbon Trust as 'the total set of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organisation, event or product’.

Our Carbon footprint is measured based on the entire lifecycle of our products from the raw materials to your enjoyment in the fridge.
