In honor of World Water Day on March 22nd, the water company is reflecting on new and continued partnerships while remaining focused on protecting water resources
STAMFORD, Conn., March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At BlueTriton Brands, our whole world is water. For us, every day is a day to celebrate water. We are always working to protect drinking water to make sure it’s safe and available through water stewardship, monitoring, and investing in water infrastructure. As we honor World Water Day on March 22nd, a United Nations led initiative that focuses on the importance of freshwater, BlueTriton is proud to recognize our new and continued partnerships that are dedicated to keeping water sources sustainable.
“As we reflect on the last year, BlueTriton continued to build upon our shared passion for water with our employees and our partners,” said Ed Ferguson, Chief Sustainability Officer at BlueTriton Brands. “We would like to take this moment to celebrate our newly forged water-benefit partnerships and to recognize the collective efforts of our employees and community partners to protect the future of water!”
Earlier this year, BlueTriton joined forces with World Resources Institute (WRI), becoming a member of their Aqueduct Alliance, a space for leading companies, governments, and foundations to gain strategic guidance and industry insight on water stewardship. During the partnership, BlueTriton will refine its long-term vision for water stewardship and provide WRI with important data to assist in research and analysis on reducing long-term water risk.
BlueTriton is committed to investing in our communities, which is why in early 2023, we responded to water access challenges by donating $400,000 to support human rights nonprofit DigDeep. In addition, we pledged an additional $1.1 million over the next two years, to bring clean running water for the first time to families living in under-resourced communities along the Texas-Mexico border.
BlueTriton Brands has a long history of helping communities in their times of need. Our partnership continues with the American Red Cross and other nonprofit organizations to donate millions of gallons of water every year in response to natural disasters, public water safety crises, and other emergencies. Over the last year, BlueTriton has donated more than 20 million bottles of water to support various nonprofit and charity organizations, emergency response teams, and disaster recovery efforts including our response to the Maui wildfires.
“As a water company, our mission is to ensure people everywhere have access to healthy hydration,” said Joey Bergstein, President and CEO at BlueTriton Brands. “Safe, sustainably sourced drinking water is essential to a healthy future. This is part of our ongoing legacy of water stewardship to provide high-quality water for generations to come.”
