Bottled water companies are becoming involved in community water sustainability programs to alleviate water scarcity. These programs not only improve brand reputation but also develop links with local communities by encouraging sustainable water management and ensuring long-term access to safe drinking water.

The ambitious project, undertaken by Bisleri, aimed to strengthen the local community's resilience and alleviate the risk of water scarcity. 

Moreover, the market is shifting toward sustainability, with corporations investing in new water extraction and production processes. These include the use of renewable energy and atmospheric water production, which are intended to reduce environmental impact and promote environmentally friendly activities. For instance, in July 2022, Source, an Arizona-based company, announced its plan to launch Sky Wtr, a new line of canned drinking water created using cutting-edge hydropanel technology, promoting sustainable water sourcing. Furthermore, bottled water firms in the Asia Pacific region are focused on sustainability and environmentally friendly methods. For example, Danone's Evian brand has introduced 100% recycled plastic bottles in places such as Japan to appeal to ecologically sensitive customers. Additionally, the premium and functional bottled water segments have revenue potential due to increased health awareness. In China, companies such as Nongfu Spring have grown in popularity due to their high-quality natural mineral water produced from specific places, which appeals to health-conscious consumers. Premium bottled water consumption in the region is also being driven by a rising middle class and increased urbanization, driving firms to innovate packaging and vary their product offerings to satisfy local tastes and environmental norms.
