Water

Water is essential to life - for drinking, washing and farming - it is important that we understand the impact of the water we use and discharge, and minimise our water intake

Our pledges made in 2008

  • Achieve zero water intake at our Walkers Crisps manufacturing sites within 10 years.
  • Reduce water use at British site by a further 45% per kg of production within 3 years.
  • Invest in research to identify the most environmentally sensitive ways of irrigating our agricultural raw materials.
  • Carry out research to identify operations that risk contributing to water shortages.

For full details of these and all our pledges, read or download our Environmental Sustainability Report, published in 2008.
