Sustainability
The water we choose can make a positive impact for our planet and our communities.
It’s no secret that environmental degradation is taking a huge toll on our natural resources and the communities that rely on them.
Flow is committed to being a part of the solution by using our brand to make the world a better place. Reducing our environmental impact has been central to Flow’s mission since Day 1. From water stewardship and renewable packaging, to our B Corp Certification, climate protection and giving back to communities, everything Flow does is designed to create a positive ripple through future generations.

Our commitments for a brighter future.
Making a positive impact for our planet and our communities is a fundamental part of who we are. We believe that business can be a force for good and back up our words with action.
Protecting the source.
Water is a precious natural resource that needs to be protected. Our naturally alkaline water comes from artesian springs that have existed for generations. Nature has given Flow healthy essential minerals and electrolytes so we use minimal processing to keep them intact. Through water stewardship: effective land management, efficient production, and minimum sustainable usage, we are ensuring our springs will exist for generations to come.
A more sustainable package.
Water that’s kinder to your body deserves packaging that’s kinder to the planet. Made from mostly renewable, plant-based materials, our eco-friendly packaging is 68-75% renewable and 100% recyclable. And we aren’t stopping there. Our ultimate goal is to have packages made from 100% renewable materials.
Certified B Corp.
Flow has been a Certified B Corp since 2017. B Corp certification is only given to companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental accountability and use business as a force for good. In 2021,Flowscored 114.5 on its B Corp recertification, which was one of the highest scores in our category and a 30-point improvement over our previous assessment. We’re proud to be part of this growing global movement.
Climate protection + carbon footprint reduction.
As a sustainable brand, we work hard to identify, mitigate, and ultimately eliminate our climate impacts. Our renewable, plant-based packs are the best choice for a low carbon impact.
Supporting the circular economy.
A circular economy aims to ensure raw materials can continue to be reused for new products multiple times. Everything we make is designed to be recycled and upcycled with ease.

We also hold our suppliers to high standards of ethical sourcing in their supply chains.
