Posted by GTE on

As part of Mey Diageo’s “Global Water Stewardship Strategy” we have successfully implemented our first ever Water Replenishment project in Alaşehir, Manisa Region.

Together with EWA Kurumsal Danışmanlık we partnered with local municipalities and a local irrigation cooperative for the installation of a new, more efficient drip irrigation system – improving infrastructure and conserving water.

We expect this system to use around 50% less water than the previous flood-based system. And the technique has already enabled us to save over 15,100 cubic meters of water during 2022.
