From soft drinks to beer, water is a vital resource that powers the drinks industry. Water is already high up the sustainability agenda for businesses as they look to ensure access to a safe, secure supply of water both for themselves and the communities within which they operate.
Available here as a free download, this Footprint Intelligence report, in association with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, details the measures businesses are taking to use water responsibly throughout their supply chains and explores where the sector must focus its efforts next in order to conserve this vital resource.
It considers:
- The reliance of drinks production on water, the key social and environmental issues associated with its extraction and use and the benefits that can be achieved through responsible use of water;
- Current business engagement with the issue of water sustainability and the overlap with other key sustainability issues and priorities;
- How businesses are working to reduce their water risk, use water more responsibly and help build future resilience, and where they should be focusing their future efforts.
