The Region of Waterloo is proud to recognize Carlsberg Canada with the annual Water Efficiency Excellence Award. The award was presented at the Regional Council meeting on October 22, 2025.

"We commend Carlsberg on their efforts to reduce their water consumption," said Regional Chair Karen Redman. "When large volume water users take steps to reduce their water use, it benefits the whole community and serves as a great example of how these investments lead to wins for everyone."

The award recognizes Carlsberg Canada's work with the Region's WET (Water Efficient Technology) Program to complete major water efficiency upgrades in 2024, including installing sub-meters at Carlsberg's production facility in Kitchener. This project gave Carlsberg Canada the data they needed to find significant water savings and reduce their year-over-year water use by 100,000 cubic metres, which is enough water to supply over 450 homes for one year.

The Region's WET Program provides resources and funding to help local organizations reduce water use. Water conservation ensures there is enough clean drinking water for our growing population.
