EVIAN'S UNIQUE AND PURE NATURAL MINERAL WATER

A 15-YEAR JOURNEY THROUGH THE FRENCH ALPS

evian water starts as rain and snow and infiltrates through the ground of our impluvium before slowly traveling through layers of glacial rocks, where it becomes naturally filtered and enriched with electrolytes and minerals. Nature gives our water everything it needs - we don’t add things for taste or enhance with extras.


SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY

Alongside partners, evian is taking long-term actions to preserve and protect nature, focusing on three pillars: source protection, packaging and recycling, and climate journey.

SOURCE PROTECTION

evian is very protective of its water and the environment that provides it, and never takes more than nature can provide.

To help us preserve our source and promote sustainable agricultural practices in the Évian-les-Bains area, we co-founded the Association for the Protection of the evian Mineral Water Impluvium (aka APIEME) with 13 other municipalities over 25 years ago.

PACKAGING AND RECYCLING

In 2018, evian pledged to become a circular brand by 2025 and make all of its plastic bottles* from 100% recycled materials (rPET) by 2025. Aligned with Danone’s aim to accelerate the transition from a linear to a circular economy of sustainable packaging, the brand is acting to provide evian natural mineral water as responsibly as possible. 

 

Being the first Danone water brand to introduce rPET in 2008, evian keeps sustainability at the forefront to drive its innovations. After launching evian (re)new in 2019 – a collapsible bubble dispenser that contains 66% less plastic than a typical 1.5L water bottle** – the brand made significant steps forward in 2020. 

 

In July, evian introduced its first label-free, 100% recyclable and 100% recycled bottle***. 

 

The brand also expanded its 100% rPET* range in September with new ‘Bottle made from bottles’ in France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

HISTORY AND HERITAGE

The French Alps made evian water naturally hydrating, the world made evian water culturally iconic.

1789 wasn’t just any year, it was the most important year in evian water history: the year our natural mineral water source was found by a local French nobleman, the Marquis de Lessert, in the town of Évian-les-Bains.
