Thankyou Water is an Australian social enterprise that puts the profits from its bottled water toward funding projects that seek to provide safe drinking water to those who don't have access to it. Based in Victoria, the bottled water brand sells at a wholesale rate to distributors due to the thin profit margins of the industry.
Thankyou Water has a view to tapping into the $600 million dollar bottled water industry in Australia in order to fight the world water crisis. 100% of Thankyou Water's profits is sent by the brand at the end of each quarter to its project partners, who carry out the work. TY Water monitors the projects they support regularly, and reports the results on the projects page of its website.
