Ethos Water is a subsidiary of the Starbucks Corporation that specializes in producing and distributing bottled water. It was founded in 2002 by Peter Thum with the aim of providing clean drinking water to communities in need around the world.

History

Ethos Water was established in 2002 by Peter Thum after he witnessed the lack of access to clean drinking water in developing countries during his travels. Motivated to make a difference, Thum created Ethos Water with the mission of helping to alleviate the global water crisis.

In 2005, Ethos Water caught the attention of Starbucks Corporation, which recognized the company's commitment to social responsibility. Starbucks acquired Ethos Water and integrated it into its portfolio of brands. This partnership allowed Ethos Water to expand its reach and impact, leveraging Starbucks' global presence and distribution network.

Products

Ethos Water primarily offers bottled water, sourced from natural springs and purified through a rigorous filtration process. The company ensures that its water meets the highest quality standards, providing consumers with a refreshing and reliable hydration option.

Social Impact

Ethos Water is dedicated to making a positive social impact by addressing the global water crisis. A portion of the proceeds from every bottle of Ethos Water sold goes towards funding water, sanitation, and hygiene programs in developing countries. These initiatives aim to provide sustainable access to clean drinking water for communities in need.

Through its partnership with non-profit organizations, Ethos Water has supported various projects, including the construction of wells, water purification systems, and sanitation facilities. These efforts have helped improve the lives of countless individuals by reducing waterborne diseases and enhancing overall community well-being.
