FAQ
For individuals
Why should I buy Contribute Water?
Contribute Water is not just a drinking water but also a concept where part of the revenue for every bottle sold will help people in Africa. For us, the concept represents a “triple-win –situation” for; YOU, Contribute and the people in Africa.
You – will contribute to something good whilst quench your thirst - no extra payment or effort on your part.
We - will be able to donate more money to Africa and inform the society about the situation in Africa
Africa – will be provided with clean water and sanitation that save and improve lives for many people
What we are introducing is an innovative, responsible and modern way of consuming water. You do not only give money to charity projects in Africa, you also take care of the environment through our climate compensation.
How much do you contribute to charity?
We contribute with a certain percentage of the wholesale price. It might not sound like a lot for one individual bottle but every little helps. The ocean is made up of drops… we believe that it´s better to do something than to do nothing! - See our donation policy here.
How do you guarantee that the money goes to charity?
We have partnered up with a UK based company called Pump Aid. They have during the last few years built over 8000 pumps and helped more than 1.1 million people in Africa. In our company “transparency” is the key word. We will make sure that the money donated for every bottle sold will go directly to the projects in Africa and not to e.g. administrative expenses. Pump Aid will provide us with reports and case-analysis’s on a regular basis that you will be able to take part of. We will also share this information on our facebook page and twitter so that you can take part of what we, together have accomplished.
You are saying that you climate compensate, what does that mean?
We want to take care of the carbon footprint that the production and transportation of plastic bottled may cause. Therefore we are partnered with a company called tree-nation, based in Spain. What we do is that we pay them a specific sum for every bottle we produce so that tree-nation can plant trees in Africa and South-America, by doing so, we compensate for every bottle produced and transported. For us it is important to take care of the environment as well. By climate compensating the end-consumer will have an additional incentive to buy our water which is beneficial for both of us. See our "Tree-Planting" Certificate here.
How do you guarantee that your water is safe for human consumption?
It is very important for us to make sure that our water is safe for human consumption. Therefore we make sure that our supplier have the certificates needed to ensure this. Our supplier G&V are part of the ISO 9001:2008 standards. Click here to see the certificate.
For businesses
How will Contribute ”increase our CSR” and how will the consumer know?
We will issue a certificate stating that your company is selling Contribute Water which you can place so that your consumers/stakeholders can see that your company is socially responsible. Consumers will know that Contribute Water is connected to doing something good. Contribute will also list all our partners on our website and facebook page.
How will consumers know that your water is different from other brands?
We will provide you with different promotional materials. For example we have a display stand and folders that we would like you to put on the counter and/or on a few tables. We will also provide you with coasters as soon as we have those ready. This will inform the consumers about our concept and vision and also increase your company’s good-will.
