Through its partnership with ethical bottled water company, Life Water and associate charity drop4drop, Compass Group UK & Ireland has successfully completed 44 clean drinking water projects by donating wells to communities in India and Uganda.
Altogether, the company has now provided clean drinking water to 66,531 people.
Dennis Hogan, managing director for Compass Group UK & Ireland, said: “It’s quite a milestone for Compass, which employs over 60,000 people, to be providing a similar number of people in Uganda and India with clean drinking water.
"We are extremely proud of this achievement as we have helped to make an extraordinary difference to communities in need through our partnership with Life Water.”
Earlier this year, Compass Group UK & Ireland signed a three-year contract with Life Water to be the primary bottled supplier across its organisation and through every bottle it sells, at least 1,000 litres of clean drinking water is provided to a community in need.
To date, more than 9million bottles of water have been sold.
Charlotte Fennell, national accounts and marketing manager at Life Water, said: “We are very happy that Compass Group UK & Ireland decided to partner with us for their water supply.
“Each month, Compass Group UK & Ireland continue to fund more projects, and I think it’s amazing to see how a simple purchasing decision can have such a long lasting positive impact on the lives of many.”
