Measuring
and publishing carbon emissions is essentially the first step for
any business looking to reduce its environmental impact. Here at
Aqua Pacific we are currently undertaking a comprehensive Environmental
Impact study for all areas of production and distribution.
Our aim is to become carbon efficient by late 2009 by substantially
reducing our product emissions, increasing our use of renewable
energy and offsetting our emissions.
We
intend to work with international conservation trusts within our
distribution areas, and we plan to address concerns over
packaging by introducing new "Greener" bottles, we
will cut the plastic used by 30
percent. We are also reducing our carton packaging by 50 percent.
Water is Nature's life support, we at Aqua Pacific only extract
water from our aquifer well within a sustainable level, to help
protect this vital natural resource for generations to come. Therefore
we are constantly monitoring our Aquifer for sustainable levels.
We are also lobbying for increased recycling programs in our key
distribution areas, and are working closely with different international
organisations.
Aqua
Pacific is actively supporting the local community by providing
clean drinking water in areas that have issues with safe drinking
water. This is often an issue of sanitation, and we often provide
clean drinking water to areas hit by disasters such as tropical
cyclones.
