Your water, your way: 7 simple solutions for ESG goals

In today’s evolving business landscape, environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are key elements of corporate strategy, with water management practices becoming increasingly important. From textiles to food and beverage, hospitality to electric utilities, every industry requires water in some way — yet traditional solutions are often complex, costly and outdated.

Recognizing the diverse needs that water fulfils, our full suite of total water solutions is engineered for maximum versatility and flexibility. With A1RWATER^TM, you can mix and match our bottled water delivery, water generators/dispensers, custom bottling systems and/or water farm offerings to create the right solution for your needs. With custom taste profiles, branding, sustainable bottles and cans and more, it’s easy to make water that’s uniquely, perfectly yours.

To provide inspiration, we’ve highlighted seven common ESG goals paired with suggested approaches to solve them with atmospheric water generation technology:

1. If you need to eliminate single-use plastic within your organisation to meet regulatory requirements… 

Pair an atmospheric water generator/dispenser with circular bottled water delivery 

With growing environmental concerns, eliminating single-use plastic has become crucial for many organisations. Not only does this goal reduce waste, it also aligns with stringent regulatory requirements aimed at promoting sustainability. 

An onsite atmospheric water generator and dispenser offers a constant supply of fresh, pure water, whether inside an office, lobby or restaurant or outdoors at a pool, school campus, public space or event venue. Individuals can refill reusable containers again and again, eliminating the need for purchasing plastic water bottles just to discard them after one use.

Augmenting this with circular bottled water delivery — refilling, washing and reusing reusable glass bottles or recycling aluminium cans — provides another convenient, and sustainable, alternative to plastic. A circular delivery system ensures empty bottles are collected, sterilised and refilled, creating a seamless, environmentally-friendly solution. 

2. If you’re looking to enhance your customer experience and create visibility around your ESG efforts… 

Create your own branded atmospheric water experience

Today’s consumers are increasingly aware of environmental issues. Enhancing the customer experience while highlighting ESG efforts builds brand loyalty while attracting eco-conscious customers.

With A1RWATER, you can customise our A1Rfleet of atmospheric water generators in different colours or designs, creating meaningful brand touchpoints throughout your establishment. A branded machine poolside creates a memorable guest interaction, while white-labelled beverages in a food establishment (such as custom can designs) make a statement about your commitment to innovative products and environmental stewardship.

3. If you are looking for water security to safeguard against contamination, droughts and other disruptions…

Build your own decentralised water solution with a bottling facility or water farm

Dependence on municipal water supplies can pose risks, from water shortages to rising costs. Building a decentralised solution ensures greater control and reliability in your water supply, safeguarding against disruptions, particularly for industries that require large-scale production. 

Bottling facilities and water farms offer that scalable solution, capable of generating upwards of 100,000 litres per day in areas with 20-43ºC (63-104ºF) temperatures and 25-100% relative humidity. Built with banks of industrial atmospheric water generators, they provide autonomy and security by creating the right quality and quantity of water where and when it is needed.

4. If you want to promote employee well-being…

Provide accessible hydration and employee engagement opportunities in the workplace

Workplace well-being has emerged as an important ESG concern, with employees’ health a crucial factor in productivity, satisfaction, retention and long-term success.

Create a healthier workplace by installing AWG dispensers in key areas such as breakrooms, cafeterias and gyms. This ensures employees have constant access to fresh, mineralised water, encouraging better hydration habits and supporting overall well-being. This also allows you to educate your teams and provide visibility on your ESG initiatives in real-time, reinforcing your role as a socially responsible employer. 

5. If you need to support remote or off-grid locations, or are interested in integrating with renewable energy sources…

Choose atmospheric water generators or water farms that utilise solar, wind or hydrogen fuel cells

Remote and off-grid locations often face challenges in securing a reliable water supply. Traditional water sources or transportation may not be feasible, necessitating innovative solutions to meet water needs in these areas. For disaster relief or humanitarian efforts, having a clean, dependable and immediate water source is crucial for providing aid and maintaining public health.

Off-grid atmospheric water farms and portable AWG units can generate significant volumes of water daily, ensuring that even the most isolated operations have access to the water they need. Integrating these systems with renewable energy sources like solar, wind or hydrogen enhances sustainability and reduces their overall environmental impact.

6. If you want to develop a sustainability strategy for large-scale events… 

Offer hydration stations alongside bottled AIRwater for attendees and participants

Large-scale events such as festivals, conferences and sports tournaments require substantial water supplies, often leading to significant waste and logistical challenges. 

Support large-scale water needs by installing portable AWG units across your venues and offer bottled atmospheric water in reusable, white-labelled bottles or recyclable cans. This creates premium hydration experiences for event attendees, showcasing new and innovative products that reduce plastic waste, meet important ESG targets and serve as a visual reminder of the event’s environmental focus.

7. If you’re looking to streamline operations or reduce water storage needs…

Create your own water source exactly where you need it

With a gallon of water weighing 3.8 kg, water storage and logistics can pose significant challenges, especially at scale. Storing and transporting large quantities of water requires extensive space and resources, driving up operational costs and complicating supply chains, particularly in industries with high water demands. Reducing these costs while maintaining a reliable water supply is a key strategic objective for many companies.

Customisable bottling facilities and water farms offer a practical solution by generating water directly at the point of need, at the quantity needed at a given time. This onsite generation simplifies water storage as water is used and replenished, and cuts transportation costs, CO2 emissions and dependency on increasingly volatile traditional sources.
