Nisa retailers raise £100k for global clean water initiative in less than four months

Nisa’s independent retail partners have raised over £600,000 for a charity that helps to fund clean water projects, with £100,000 being raised in less than four months.

The landmark moment came less than four months after Nisa partners reached a huge milestone of £500,000, which was donated to the charity back in March 2021.

Nisa became part of the Co-op group in 2018 and since partners have raised a total of

£626,809 for The One Foundation, contributing to the global initiative investing in clean water, sanitation and hygiene around the world.

For every litre of any still, sparkling or flavoured Co-op own brand water sold, 3p goes to the One Foundation.

For Nisa partners, this means that each time they order Co-op water to stock in their stores, they are supporting the initiative.

Danielle Slyvester, wholesale category controller at Nisa said: “It is wonderful that by doing something as simple as stocking Co-op water in their stores, our partners can make such a valuable contribution to a brilliant charity.

“And to reach another milestone donation total within just four months of hitting the half a million mark is just fantastic.”

Working in partnership with The One Foundation, Co-op has spent the last 12 years

investing in clean water, sanitation and hygiene projects around the world. They are also pioneering partners for Water Unite, and now, every bottle of Co-op water purchased helps to support clean water projects and changes live around the world.

To date, Co-op water sales have raised more than £10 million for clean water projects and have assisted The One Foundation in many projects while providing support to programmes in Fairtrade cocoa, sugar, tea and flower growing communities worldwide.
