Spadel Sustainability Actions

B Corp certification

As a BCorp certified company, we’re transparently sharing our choices and our actions. Spadel is the first family-owned mineral water group in the world to obtain BCorp certification for all its brands. This certification is granted to companies that meet the highest standards in terms of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

Carbon neutrality at sites

All of our production sites achieved carbon neutrality for scopes 1 and 2 since 2016. Now Wattwiller is the first of our brands to achieve it across scope 3, meaning it includes our suppliers’ carbon footprint as well. We are also one of ten European food and beverage companies to have their Science Based Targets approved.

Water stewardship certification

Certified leader on sustainable water management (100% of our sites (5) certified platinum by Alliance for Water Stewardship.) 1.45 litres of water used per litre of beverage (WUR). Spadel wants to be a certified leader in sustainable water management. We apply the leading Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) standard.

Biodiversity initiatives

Protecting and Restoring Biodiversity. From the BeeOdiversity initiative that has seen us place beehives in all our water collection areas, to planting wildflowers near our Carola spring as part of a special scenic project, improving local biodiversity is integral to protecting our natural sources. Another initiative in 2019 was the reintroduction of 25 black grouse from Sweden to the Belgian Hautes Fagnes, working together with WWF and Paira Daiza.

Local partnerships and supply

Local Partnerships. Strategic partnerships, such as those with Goodplanet in Belgium or IVN Natuureducatie in the Netherlands are key to our overall sustainability strategy. We have set ourselves the goal to be a 'Great Place to Work' and are proud to have achieved this certification in France. 92% of our entire supply chain can be found within a 500km radius of our Belgian production site.

CSR reporting

Our yearly CSR report follows the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) reporting standard. Following the GRI reporting framework, we report on an annual basis on the progress of our KPI’s and actions.
