PROTECTING THE SOURCE, SAVING RESOURCES
Mineral Water: naturally pure
Italian mineral water is a natural resource found in unpolluted areas, often in mountainous regions. As it flows underground towards its source, the water undergoes changes in its physical and chemical composition, absorbing the minerals that give it its distinctive characteristics. Untouched and pure, its uniqueness and taste depend on the territory from which it emerges.
That’s why at S.Pellegrino, we focus huge effort on protecting our source and the surrounding environment, and using the water resources required for production in the most sustainable way. -
OUR TERROIR
S.Pellegrino mineral water emerges naturally from the springs of San Pellegrino Terme, at the foot of the Italian Alps, an area known for its healthy water since the Middle Ages. During its 30-year journey through the rock, the water acquires its unique and perfectly balanced mineral content. Rich in magnesium and sulphates, it features 14 different minerals, acquiring its distinctive "perlage" through the addition of natural carbon dioxide.
The story of S.Pellegrino mineral water began back in 1899, when the Società Anonima delle Terme di San Pellegrino started bottling it to allow people to "take the water cure" at home. Soon afterwards, it became equally renowned for its unique taste.
Appreciated by sommeliers and top chefs in particular, S.Pellegrino is now one of the world's best loved mineral waters, enhancing your moments with its gentle bubbles and perfect mineral balance. -
NATURAL PURITY
Watch the videoAs a mineral water sourced from Italy, S.Pellegrino is granted specific recognition by the Italian Ministry of Health. To qualify for this recognition, it must undergo geological, physico-chemical and microbiological tests to verify that its essential characteristics remain stable over time.
Furthermore, it must be bottled close to the source and arrive on the dining table in the same condition as when it emerged from the source, without any intervention whatsoever.
With constant care and high quality standards (about 500 tests are carried out every day) we ensure that S.Pellegrino mineral water always reaches the table with the same unique blend of mineral salts, trace elements and chemical characteristics. -
ALLIANCE FOR WATER STEWARDSHIP
We know that the long-term sustainability of our business depends on the uncontaminated purity of the environment. That's why we are proud of the Alliance for Water Stewardship certification we achieved in 2020, and committed to maintaining it over the long term.
AWS certification is the global standard for promoting the sustainable management of water resources throughout the world, guiding, recognising and awarding the achievement of best practices. -
WORKING TOWARDS ZERO WASTE
All the production and bottling processes of S.Pellegrino mineral water are committed to minimising the environmental impact of the activity on a "zero waste" basis. This means replenishing as much water abstracted as water bottled and reducing energy consumption by favouring alternative resources.
The energy performance of the S.Pellegrino water plant has shown continuous improvement over last decade.
SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING TO PRESERVE PURITY
Our mineral water emerges pure and untouched, and we are committed to delivering it to our consumers protected in the most innovative and sustainable packaging.
The S.Pellegrino product portfolio features a variety of packaging materials for different purposes, favouring recyclable materials such as PET, glass and aluminium. In order to increase the sustainable sourcing of our bottles, we are supporting the use of recycled PET (rPET) where it is technically feasible and when the feedstock is available. S.Pellegrino is committed to using 35% rPET by 2025.

A PLANT AT ONE WITH NATURE
S.Pellegrino will soon move into a new and even greener "home”. Developed from a design by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, the new flagship factory will be created by revamping the existing plant and integrating it even further with its natural surroundings.
S.Pellegrino's commitment to environmental sustainability can be seen in every aspect of the project, from the use of locally sourced building materials and the planting of 90 trees around the site to the installation of energy efficient lighting, photovoltaic panels and a rainwater recycling system to make the flagship factory a "zero water impact" facility.
