Business Case

• Water is
• The main ingredient in all of our beverages
• Essential to our manufacturing processes
• A life-sustaining resource for the communities
  and ecosystems that make our business possible
• A key component of many of our ingredients,
  including sugar

Water is not just important to our businesses.
It is critical to the communities we serve. We
cannot have a sustainable business unless the
communities we serve are sustainable
themselves. E. Neville Isdell

Watershed Partnerships Can Replenish Water Sources

• North America system has over 50 active watershed
  projects

Example Flint River Basin partnership with The
Nature Conservancy

• Funded by the TCCC Foundation
• Variable rate irrigation
• Reducing farm water use by 17
• Project saves hundreds of millions of liters per
  year

12
Replenish Conserving Freshwater Resources

• US Southeast Rivers and Streams
• Facing highest extinction rates in North America
  due to degraded water quality from population
  growth, poorly planned development, agriculture,
  mining and forestry operations
• Goal To harmonize urban growth with the
  protection of the basin by increasing sustainable
  water policies and practices

Assess Source Vulnerability Assessment Process

• SVA Process Includes
• Hydrology/Hydrogeology
• Land use
• Pollution sources
• Competing users
• Regional Water Supply Plans
• Climatic Effects
• i.e., drought susceptibility
• Water Rights, Permits and Policies
• Social/Community Issues
• Plant Water Resource Management Team
• Output Source Protection Plan
