Sustainability is a concept rising fast up the corporate agenda, as consumers and other stakeholders look to industry to address the environmental challenges of today - and the future. The Packaged Water companies need to assess how to adopt sustainable principles and goals, in the most effective way - whilst addressing profitability, performance, and, critically, perceptions of their industry. This is against a background of escalating input costs, including energy and packaging, which add further pressure to the mix.

Canadean’s new special report on Sustainability in Packaged Water sets out the key issues for the packaged water industry in this respect, and looks in detail at developments for better environmental performance, as well as innovations in sustainable packaging development. These are illustrated with practical industry examples, and backed up with separate management briefings on key themes such as groundwater and the concept of sustainability. An overview of trends in packaged water consumption, with an analysis of pack trends, comes from Canadean’s unique Wisdom database.

Providing a common vocabulary and understanding of key concepts, such as sustainability and life cycle thinking, this report represents an easily digestible and valuable reference for packaged water companies and related industries wishing to integrate sustainability principles into their businesses.
