Our Water Stewardship Strategy
Given the critical significance of water to our business, we are preparing to operate in an increasingly water-scarce environment and have committed to a water-sustainable operation by 2020. In 2009, we spent $1.15 million on initiatives that will help us work toward this goal in three key ways:
- REDUCING the amount of water we use to produce our beverages
- RECYCLING the water we use in our operations, returning all wastewater to the environment to a level that supports aquatic life
- REPLENISHING the water used in our finished beverages in the communities where we operate
In early 2010, we conducted a water roundtable with key stakeholders and subject matter experts to gain their feedback on our strategy. From this roundtable we gained valuable insights on our water stewardship and replenishment work, while also learning how water risk should inform our future strategy (see “Case Study”). We will also assess the potential to replenish water in our supply chain.
