Respect for the Origin In Every Detail

Our Approach
Sustainability means that something can exist forever. It consumes what grows back and selects what is wise to use. To serve you the purity of Scandinavian nature, we want to cause minimum impact with choices that sustain our work and business, respects nature, and cause no harm in the making.
Join us for a journey of 10000 years that finishes with you.
The water flows into our bottles by machinery operated with over 1000 solar panels producing 265 kw of clean energy.
The Water
From more than 100 meters (330 feet) underneath the surface, the water flows into our modern facility in Urajärvi.

Restricted by the law and our vision of the purest enjoyment, minimum interference occurs in the filtering process that contains no artificial or added ingredients.
Mineral water
Spring water
According to a UNESCO study, Finland, with over 168 000 lakes and 35 rivers exceeding 100 kilometers, has the best ground water in the world. Finland offers a truly sustainable source for clean water.
