Community
BlueTriton Brands is committed to being a Good Neighbor in over 120 local communities. We are devoted to helping families everywhere find easy access to healthy hydration solutions.
Disaster Relief
In October 2015, we began donating bottled water to the residents of Flint, and in January 2016, we collaborated with a broader coalition to meet the water needs of more than 10,000 public school students in the city.
Since we began providing approximately 100,000 bottles of water per week to three Flint Help Centers in May 2018, we have worked closely with the state, Mayor Weaver, non-governmental organizations and the Flint community to understand how we can best help meet their needs.
From May 2018 through the April 2020, we have donated over 10 million bottles of water to the Help Centers.
Closed Loop Partners
We are a New York based investment firm comprised of venture capital, growth equity, private equity and project finance as well as an innovation center focused on building the circular economy.
We have built an ecosystem that connects entrepreneurs, industry experts, global consumer goods companies, retailers, financial institutions and municipalities. Our investments align capitalism with positive social and environmental impact by reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions via materials innovation, advanced recycling technologies, supply chain optimization and landfill diversion.
Keep America Beautiful
A leading national nonprofit, Keep America Beautiful inspires and educates people to take action every day to improve and beautify their community environment. We envision a country in which every community is a clean, green, and beautiful place to live.
Established in 1953, Keep America Beautiful provides the expertise, programs and resources to help people End Littering, Improve Recycling, and Beautify America’s Communities.
The organization is driven by the work and passion of more than 600 community-based Keep America Beautiful affiliates, millions of volunteers, and the support of corporate partners, municipalities, elected officials, and individuals.
Youth Activities
We want to help children lead healthier lives. That is why we support programs focused on physical activity and healthy lifestyles among school-age children. Through education, fitness challenges, donations, and volunteer support, our alliances with organizations like Boys and Girls Clubs of America help inspire youth to achieve short-term fitness goals and prepare them for active futures.
Water Education
We are dedicated to helping our future generations of water users learn about the importance of water and how to conserve and care for it. Our commitment to helping children learn about water is exemplified in our long-term partnership with Project Water Education for Teachers (Project WET), which helps teach 250,000 children across the country about water-related issues.
Brookie Buddies
This unique curriculum teaches students about their local watershed ecosystem and how water quality affects Maine’s aquatic life. Between January and May, the students raise brook trout from the egg stage to fingerlings in large aquariums, and then release the fish into a local, state-approved body of water.
Trout in the Classroom
Pennsylvania Trout In the Classroom (TIC) is an interdisciplinary program in which students learn about coldwater conservation while raising brook trout from eggs to fingerlings in a classroom aquarium. TIC has applications in environment and ecology, science, mathematics, social studies, language and fine arts, and physical education.
Commitment to Community
We know that building strong, trusted relationships requires that we keep our promises – and when we trust one another, we can accomplish tremendous things together.
California
California is more than a place to work – it’s home. With a 120+ year history of local brands and operations, we are proud of the presence we have in California and our ongoing commitment to its people, its economy and, of course, its water.
In all the locations where we live and work, we are guided by our Community First principle, which states that we strive to operate in a manner that does not compromise the well-being of a local community. It’s our responsibility and privilege to give back to our local communities and we work hard to be a good neighbor.
We are proud to support local California communities.
Maine
Our Poland Spring® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water, has a rich, 175-year history in Maine. We work hard each day to honor that heritage through everything we do – from producing quality beverages, to helping manage Maine’s natural water resources responsibly and sustainably, to supporting Maine’s workforce and economy.
We are proud of our operations in Maine and of the many ways we positively affect the local communities, environment and economy where we live and work.
Pennsylvania
We first became part of the Keystone community more than 20 years ago and today, we employ approximately 600 Pennsylvanians between our two bottling facilities in Lehigh County.
Water is our business, but also our passion. We are committed to providing safe, clean drinking water for communities across North America, caring for water sources we rely on, as well as the land around them.
Over the past two decades, we have developed, managed and protected seven spring sites in Pennsylvania to bring high quality Deer Park® 100% Natural Spring Water to grocery shelves throughout the mid-Atlantic.
Texas
We work hard to be a good neighbor, which to us means putting community first. In Texas, we support, through water and financial donations and volunteer efforts, a variety of events and initiatives that our neighbors care about and that align with our company values. We work closely with local residents and organizations to help us understand their needs and concerns in an effort to enable our operations to positively benefit the community at large.
For decades, we have funded important projects in the state including educational programs, environmental cleanups, stewardship and sustainability initiatives, and disaster relief.
Florida
We have worked to be a good neighbor in Florida for decades. Our commitment goes beyond just caring about the water. We support communities across the state through job creation, water education, donations, disaster relief, partnerships, and employee volunteerism.
We employ more than 900 people in the state of Florida. At our three water bottling factories in Zephyrhills, Madison and High Springs, our employees make bottled water for three of our brands, including Zephyrhills® Brand Natural Spring Water and Deer Park® Brand Natural Spring Water.
We source water for these brands from five different locations in Florida: Crystal Springs in Crystal Springs (Pasco County), Cypress Springs in Vernon (Washington County), Blue Springs in Lee (Madison County), Ginnie Springs in High Springs (Gilchrist County), and White Springs in White Springs (Liberty County). These springs are all listed on the product labels of the products that are produced in Florida.
Colorado
In Denver, where our bottling factory is located, we give back to the local community by regularly donating bottled water to local schools, emergency services and other civic and charitable organizations, including substantial contributions to the Food Bank of the Rockies. Additionally, factory team members contribute volunteer time for a number of non-profits and organizations in the city including Denver Rescue Mission, Denver Walk: Multiple Sclerosis, and Denver-area schools. Most recently, we donated more than 20,000 of our special blue bottles to support hand sanitizer production at a local distillery in Boulder.
Michigan
At BlueTriton Brands, we believe that access to safe, clean drinking water is a fundamental human right. Across North America, we care for and help protect the water sources on which we rely, as well as the land around them. We are dedicated to making healthy, made-in-Michigan products, while supporting our communities and caring for the state’s most precious natural resource for years to come.
