working for a
better planet
We’ve been changing lives with safe, clean water for two decades. But we’ve also had a big eye on our planet.
everything we do, we do with the planet in mind
As a team and a business we always strive to do the best we can for our planet and it is a process of constant improvement.
certified B Corp
As one of the founding B Corporations in the UK, we’re proud to use business as a force for good. We uphold the highest ethical standards across all areas of our business, having been assessed across five core dimensions: governance, employee welfare, community impact, environmental stewardship, and customer satisfaction.
Our current score is 105.3, comfortably exceeding the 80 points required to certify and we are the highest scoring business in UK soft drinks. But we’re constantly striving to better ourselves and we’re anticipating a lift with our latest recertification. Watch this space!
UN Global
Compact
We are a signatory to the UN Global Compact, a network of companies around the world, working to align their operations with universal principles on the environment, human rights, labour and anti-corruption.
Keeping us accountable on our mission through annual reporting, the UNGC also supports our alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with SDG 6 – ‘to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’ – being at the heart of our work.
carbon
Carbon footprint, carbon neutral, carbon credits and off-setting. So much jargon, but our aim is single-minded. We are committed to being transparent on our journey to reduce our carbon footprint.
We certified as a carbon neutral company and off-set our impact annually from 2010. In 2018, after a detailed third party audit across our product range, we began off-setting the impact of our products as well, all the way from their creation to disposal. This is sometimes referred to as Scope 3.
Since 2024, we have been working with the Science Based Targets Initiative to accelerate decarbonation of our operations and this remains our focus.
reforestation
in Malawi
We also support a reforestation programme in Malawi.
We have stopped buying carbon credits to focus our budgets more intensely on carbon reduction, but we have also invested in a reforestation programme in the Blantyre district of Malawi. It’s an area we are familiar with and we’ve funded a water pump repair programme there for many years.
do one good thing,
choose One.
The positive social and environmental impacts of the forestry project are vast. Not only does it boost biodiversity and provide communities with improved livelihoods – through cultivating a variety of fruit trees and compost generating trees from seed – but the programme also protects mature forests from destruction, through mapping, bylaws and education.
The identified forests are conservatively estimated to sequester over 10 million tonnes of carbon every year.
