The Dr. Pepper Snapple Group continues to invest millions of dollars into the Texas watersheds from which its bottling plants draw water. While its preservation efforts support the brand\u2019s bottom line \u2014 no water means no product \u2014 they also support the environment by preserving the kind of valuable American prairie land that has been disappearing. The sustainable business funds have been put toward reseeding, maintaining water quality and other restoration initiatives geared toward re-establishing an eco-system that was once widespread.<\/p>\n
Ketel One Vodka<\/h3>\n
Ketel One Vodka, which falls under the Diageo umbrella, has committed to massively cutting water use in its production. Ketel One and Diageo have pledged to safely recycle 100 percent of wastewater and reduce water usage by 50 percent by increasing efficiency and replenishing water-stressed areas by the year 2020. Additionally, Diageo is active in the philanthropy space, working to provide sanitation services and safe drinking water to those in need as part of its conservation efforts.\u00a0These initiatives are important<\/a>\u00a0because one-third of Diageo\u2019s operations take place in water-stressed areas of the word.\u00a0Ketel One<\/a>\u00a0is a prime example of the sustainability efforts Diageo implements.<\/p>\nPepsiCo<\/h3>\n
PepsiCo now treats water as a limited resource, aiming for efficiency in all water usage and investing in the kinds of emerging\u00a0technology\u00a0that enable new feats of conservation. The company has not only met but exceeded stated water-use efficiency goals and has developed its own technologies like the Treated Water Efficiency\u00a0Tool, which allows beverage plants to optimize their water treatment systems. Overall, PepsiCo employs an integrated sustainable business approach to treating and conserving water in all its plants and that appears to be\u00a0paying off.<\/p>\n
The Coca-Cola Company<\/h3>\n
The\u00a0Coca-Cola Company\u00a0<\/strong>made big strides in conservation and stewardship when it partnered with the World Wildlife Foundation in an ongoing collaboration that will last until at least 2020. Together they\u2019re addressing the resource challenges that impact freshwater by undertaking direct conservation efforts involving 11 key freshwater basins, addressing and improving environmental performance across the company, and even becoming involved in policy matters surrounding water.<\/p>\nMillerCoors<\/h3>\n
MillerCoors has created a three-part water stewardship strategy compromised of efficient water use in the company\u2019s breweries, a watershed restoration that puts as much water back into the ecosystem as is used in production and supply chain resiliency that addresses the water issues surrounding grain farming. One unique component of MillerCoors\u2019 approach is its flexibility. Individual breweries create their own environmental action plans that are then shared with breweries across the company to build proven best practices.<\/p>\n
The companies meeting their water stewardship goals are those that take a multi-pronged approach to sustainable business and\u00a0<\/strong>conservation. It\u2019s not just about\u00a0efficiency\u00a0in production or preserving water supplies. Instead, the brands with the best track records of effective stewardship look at how water is consumed, used and put back into the ecosystem after use. Water itself is treated as a limited and shared resource that has to be handled with great care at every stage of the production and distribution processes.<\/p>\nWith a large portion of the U.S. in a\u00a0severe drought<\/a>\u00a0and the ongoing crisis situations involving water access worldwide, these types of\u00a0water-saving practices\u00a0are more important than ever before. No one company or industry can save the world\u2019s water but corporate\u00a0brands working in concert may just help usher in an era of sustainable business – and\u00a0cleaner water for all.<\/p>\nQuest Resource Management Group \u2014 a subsidiary of Quest Resource Holding Corporation\u00a0(NASDAQ: QRHC)<\/a> \u2014 creates sustainable business solutions<\/a> specifically tailored to the needs of each individual client.
