As an asset-light company, we use very little water and generate minimal waste in our direct operations. Recognizing that water and waste impacts may be material within our supply chain, however, we’re working to better understand these issues at our co-manufacturing facilities.

Co-manufacturer Water and Waste

Most of our supplier’s dairy protein processing facilities are in low to medium water stress regions, and a significant percentage of the dairy farms we source from are pasture-based and located in low water stress regions.

We regularly conduct sustainability surveys of our North American co-manufacturers. As part of these surveys, we ask suppliers to use the WRI Aquaduct tool to assess whether the facilities used in the production of BellRing products are in high or very high water stress regions.

We have also surveyed our co-manufacturers regarding their waste reduction strategies, and learned that the majority of them work to reduce waste sent to landfills by diverting waste for recycling and animal feed.
