Our Global Impact
Our Global Impact
Our goal is to donate $5 Million back to the environment by 2030, and to divert 200 Million bottles from landfills and back into a truly recycled world.
Sustainability is not just about having recyclable packaging. At Proud Source Water, sustainability extends into all facets of our brand. Sustainability is the centerpiece of all operations. It defines how we support our communities, conserve our spring sources and create positive impact for our planet. Our goal is to donate $5 Million back to the environment by 2030, and to divert 200 Million single use plastic bottles from landfills and our precious waterways.
BOTTLED AT THE SOURCE
Our plants are designed to be low energy and eventually net zero facilities. In Idaho, the plant is located approximately 500ft below the spring. We use a gravity-fed system to bottle our spring water at the source for an energy efficient, sustainable operation. In Florida, our facility is solar powered and completely off the grid. We aspire to net zero energy usage in all facilitate by the end of 2021.
LOCAL IMPACT
As a brand, we started with our local community and how we could create positive impact. From job creation to local community support, impact has become a priority. In addition local impact, we have chosen key partners like 1% for the Planet, The Surfrider Foundation, 5 Gyres, and many other partners to extend our efforts in global impact. We’re proud to prioritize people and planet.
CONSERVE & PROTECT
A key pillar in our brand journey is to conserve and protect our natural sources of water. We pledge to never take more than 5% of the daily output of our sources of water. Additionally, we have a Zero Waste policy with our water. In the water industry, other methods of bottling water can waste up to 75% of the water supply. We believe in zero waste.
B-CORP CERTIFIED
As a certified B-Corp, we aspire to create positive social and environmental change in the world. Securing B-Corp certification was a major milestone in our brand’s journey it validated our intention around people and planet. We were certified in July of 2019 with a score of 80.7
ALUMINUM PACKAGING
Aluminum is our choice for our bottle and cap because it is infinitely recyclable. This means aluminum will never lose its material strength as it is recycled for years and years. 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today. Additionally, Aluminum is recycled in every US State making it the most recycled material in the USA. We ensure our bottles are BPA free to ensure safe drinking quality.
LOCAL SOURCING
America has some of the most premium sources of spring water within its borders. Each source is wonderful and unique with geological features to distinguish the quality of water. At Proud Source we want to celebrate our natural resources and tell the origin story for each source. This is what makes us proud.
