Water Stewardship Overview
Goal: Establish a water sustainable operation in which we minimize our water use and replenish the amount of water equivalent to what we use in all of our beverages to the local communities in which we operate

Water Stewardship Highlights:
- Launched a global Source Water Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) program
- Signed the CEO Water Mandate to build a more comprehensive water sustainability strategy
- Reduced our water use ratio to 1.67, an improvement of more than 3.5 percent from 2008
- Provided more than 1,300 rain barrels across North America to collect rainwater runoff and replenish local communities’ watersheds
In several of our North American and European territories we face issues of water scarcity and quality, problems that will only be exacerbated by climate change and increased demand. Many states in the U.S. anticipate water shortages in the next decade, while in Europe water quality in densely populated areas will become a significant issue in the future. Based on this information, both continents will undoubtedly experience water challenges that will directly impact industry and agriculture.
