The Earth is the ultimate source of taste and we are strongly committed to safeguarding its precious gifts. We are dedicated to protecting the source of taste by looking after our territories, managing our resources sustainably and respecting the environment, and we are committed to using 50% recycled PET (rPET) by 2025. That is why in our plants we pursue the efficient and sustainable management of water and other resources.
Our unique Italian source
S.Pellegrino natural mineral water emerges from sources in the Italian Alps. It is bottled directly at the source as required by law.
Selecting the finest fruits
The ingredients used in our Italian Sparkling Drinks are selected with extreme care, to offer a range of refined taste experiences with only the finest fruits, herbs and spices. Our drinks are produced exclusively in Italy, and all the sun-ripened oranges, lemons and chinotto we use are grown in Southern Italy. Pruning and harvesting are carried out by hand using traditional methods, to safeguard the health of the plant and the quality of the product.
Preserving our terroir
S.Pellegrino mineral water emerges from its spring at the foot of the Italian Alps, an area well-known for its water since the Middle Ages. During its 30-year journey through the rock to get there, the water acquires the perfectly balanced mineral content that provides our water with its unique taste. To safeguard this unmistakable taste, we are dedicated to preserving the integrity of the source and its territory.
Caring for our farms
Caring about the ingredients used in our Italian Sparkling Drinks starts with paying the utmost attention to their provenance, and working closely with the farms where the fruit is grown. Over the years, we have established long-lasting strong relationships with our suppliers. Our experts visit all of them several times a month to guarantee the highest standards and ensure that every drop of every drink is full of the natural goodness that makes the Sanpellegrino taste truly unmistakable.
Working towards zero waste
All our production and bottling processes are aimed at minimising the environmental impact of our activity on a "zero waste" basis. Between 2018 and 2023, the Sanpellegrino Terme plant saved over 194 million litres of water, and most of the fruit plantations in our supply chain use a drip irrigation system to minimise waste. Since 2011, 100% of our purchased electricity has come from renewable energy sources.
Certifying the highest standards
Since 2021, the S.Pellegrino site in San Pellegrino Terme (near Bergamo, Italy) has been Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) certified.
AWS is the internationally recognized standard for the sustainable management of water as a shared resource. It focuses on maintaining good water quality, ensuring the quantity of water extracted is sustainable, protecting critical areas in the water basin, and improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene.
AWS is a benchmark for continuously improving the way we look after the natural resources that are so precious to us.
Preserving purity with sustainable packaging
We are committed to protecting our mineral water, always taking into consideration innovation and sustainability in our packaging. Our product portfolio features a variety of different packaging materials, favouring recyclable materials such as plastic PET, glass and aluminium. What's more, Sanpellegrino is committed to using 50% recycled PET (rPET) material by 2025.
Building a plant at one with nature
The home of S.Pellegrino natural mineral water will soon become even more eco-friendly, as our plant in Val Brembana is being radically renovated. Designed by the award-winning Bjarke Ingels Group, it embraces the concept of Hedonistic Sustainability: sustainable architecture integrated with its natural surroundings, which increases well-being and pleasure for society.
Leaving a lighter footprint
S.Pellegrino and Italian Sparkling Drinks travel the world, and we constantly seek to minimise the impact of their transportation on the environment. By choosing transport by train and boat wherever possible, optimising transfer of loads and, at the other end, using innovative and eco-friendly means of transport fuelled by Liquified Natural Gas, we are committed to more sustainable logistics.
