By GlobalData“We came into the water category with a goal to set a higher standard and do better for the planet.
“In order to achieve this specific milestone, we conducted a rigorous internal audit to fully understand our carbon footprint.
“This information allowed us to take the necessary steps to reduce our carbon footprint and will help inform us as we continue to make positive changes.”
Founded in 2009, Boxed Water claims to be the first company to offer sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic water bottles and aluminium cans.
The company said the CarbonNeutral certification highlights its commitment to environmental sustainability.
It has also achieved 1% For The Planet status and partnered with the National Forest Foundation and Ocean Blue Project.
Koenen added: “We want the real ethos of ‘better planet’ to be reflected in every facet of what we do; not in just the product we offer, but in our people, our partners and how Boxed Water is created and delivered.
“We set that bar for ourselves and so do our consumers.”
