In Singapore we support Seven Clean Seas, and take part in their Ocean Impact projects on the island of Batam. The organisation builds scalable solutions for plastic pollution. Seven Clean Seas formally employ collectors, previously from the informal waste sector, offering them stable employment and respectful conditions. The teams clean coastal communities, coastlines and rivers, recycling the plastic and using it for new, innovative products like tiles and bricks.
Welcome to local tap water with a difference. Forget plastic and water shipped from the other side of the world. Water that’s kind on the planet and big on pleasure. Water with meaning, water with style. Water that changes the world drop by drop, with financial support poured into environmental protection. Water as unique as you are.
PROTECTING OUR MOST PRECIOUS
RESOURCE: WATER
In each country we support fantastic local projects by donating 1% of our revenue to “1% for the planet”.
We provide financial support for water-related projects by pouring 1% of our revenue into each project. Our teams contribute and provide help, working in the projects. An eco-friendly philosophy that lies at the very core of everything that we do.
In Denmark, we support Race for Oceans, which aims to shine a light on Life Below Water (UN Sustainable Development Goal #14) including the growing problem of plastic pollution. The project creates greater synergies between sports, beach clean-ups, and knowledge. For example, In 2019 the first Race for Oceans relay was run – a 10-day sports event along 456 km of coastline.
In Sweden, we collaborate with the fantastic Initiativ Utö, working to restore the marine environment in the Baltic Sea.
In Switzerland, the “Rivière de Biodiversité” project run by One Nature Foundation is restoring a local river in Lully, helping Nature to reassert its rights over humans.
In our quest to strike a balance between profit and purpose, we are now proudly B Corp certified. The BCORP certification is a designation that a business is meeting high environmental standards. Committed to preserving the planet by reducing carbon, plastic, and waste, we support water initiatives and uphold high standards for employee well-being.

BE WTR INSPIRATORS
MIKE HECKER
Founder
“I believe it’s on us to be the change we want to see in the world. Cutting back on single- use plastic is the smallest biggest change people can start making. And if you’re getting 100% pure, great-tasting water back in return, then what’s not to love?”
“I’m a mountain guy at heart, and seeing the devastating effects of climate change first-hand really hit home. I’m proud to be part of a game-changing brand that’s as much a way of life as it is a product.”
