In celebration of World Water Day, Keurig Dr Pepper announces its aspiration to achieve net positive water impact by 2050 and has joined the Water Resilience Coalition (WRC). This industry-driven coalition of the UN Global Compact CEO Water Mandate aims to elevate global water stress and its connection to climate change to the top of the corporate agenda and preserve the world’s freshwater resources through collective action and ambitious, quantifiable commitments.
