Carlsberg Group in India today announced a new partnership with Water.org to
improve access to safe water and sanitation in communities across the Ganges River Basin, including the
states of Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The collaboration reinforces Carlsberg’s commitment
to responsible water stewardship by investing in sustainable, measurable solutions that empower local
communities.
Water.org helps tackle India’s water and sanitation crisis by making access affordable. Through its WaterCredit
solution, launched in India in 2004, the organization partners with microfinance institutions, banks, and
government programs to provide small, affordable loans for water and sanitation improvements to families in
need. This approach has enabled more than 30 million people to get access to safe water or sanitation.
Water.org continues to scale its impact by developing financial solutions at both household and community
levels, supporting India’s goal of providing tap water for all.
Through this initiative, Carlsberg Group and Water.org will enable access to 247 million liters of water in the
Ganges River Basin, helping people in areas that need safe water the most. The partnership aims to provide
safe water or sanitation solutions to more than 112,000 people by March 2028. In addition to providing access
to safer water, the partnership will engage communities in awareness efforts to drive long-term behavior
change and local impact.
The partnership is an important step towards Carlsberg Group’s target of replenishing 100% of the water
consumed at its breweries and beverage production sites in high water risk areas by 2030.
"At Carlsberg India, we understand that water is not just a resource — it’s a lifeline for communities," said
Nilesh Patel, Managing Director, Carlsberg India. "Our partnership with Water.org reflects our commitment
to sustainable water management and community well-being. By supporting access to safe water, we’re
helping families build healthier lives, strengthen their resilience, and secure a better future. Investing in water
is, ultimately, an investment in people, in sustainability, and in long-term progress."
"This collaboration with Carlsberg helps scale the impact of our proven solution. One that’s empowered
millions of people to finance their own safe water and sanitation solutions," said Gary White, CEO and Co-
founder, Water.org. "As part of an important network of partners, Carlsberg is helping accelerate that
momentum in India, where access to safe water or sanitation can change everything for families in need:
improving health, regaining time, and building bright futures."
Water access drives measurable improvements in health, household resilience, and gender equity. This
partnership will help create lasting impact across the Ganges River Basin, ensuring that local communities can
thrive, even in the face of climate challenges.
