Abstract
To celebrate World Water Day (22 March) ISS UK has announced a new milestone of raising over £190,000 by selling One Water drinks at its customer sites around the country.

Together, One Water and ISS UK have improved the lives of over 12,000 people through clean water and sanitation projects in Africa. Profits from the sale of One Water are donated to the foundation, which has been supporting communities to prevent Covid-19 transmission through good hygiene practices. 

Duncan Goose, founder of the One Water brand, said: "ISS has always been a champion of our work, so it’s been especially rewarding to see the foundation funding Covid-19 based water and hygiene programmes in Africa this year."

ISS has also been working with One Water to reduce the carbon and single-use plastics footprint of the drinks products sold on customer sites. One Water is planning to launch a new range of ‘eco’ water options, including refillable 100% recycled aluminium bottles.

Ali Hulley, head of retail and marketing ISS Food Services, added: "The market for on-the-go water is enormous and we have a responsibility to evolve if we are to tackle serious environmental challenges. 

“Until now, consumers have been faced with a severe lack of convenient alternatives as well as confusion over what and how packs can be recycled.  Whilst there is no perfect packaging solution, we’re pleased to be offering new options and new choices for our customers who are the first to adopt these formats.”
