NATURAL MINERAL AND SPRING WATER PRODUCERS CREATE EMPLOYMENT IN RURAL AREAS AND ADD SOCIO-ECONOMIC VALUE TO HELP COMMUNITIES FLOURISH


We are proud to be a part of countless communities dotted all across Europe and have built up meaningful partnerships over the last decades. The natural mineral and spring water industry creates employment opportunities in rural areas and adds socio-economic value.

To illustrate the depth and breadth of the sector’s presence, our interactive map showcases the geographical distribution of natural mineral and spring water sites across Europe. From Alpine valleys to coastal plains, the map demonstrates the integral role of our sector in European life, supporting local economies and safeguarding natural resources.

We collaborate with local farmers, NGOs and public authorities to help maintain the environment, protect natural mineral and spring water sources and to bolster biodiversity.

The sector has a longstanding commitment to supporting communities in distress. In an emergency, natural disaster or where municipal supply is cut or contaminated, producers regularly donate bottled water.

For example, our sector worked around the clock to ensure that everybody can continue to access natural mineral and spring waters during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many of our members showed solidarity by donating hundreds of thousands of bottles of natural mineral water to hospitals and the most vulnerable members in our society.

Together, we are helping communities flourish — sustainably and responsibly.
