WhiteWave is focused on geographic diversity of our land with a focus on well water/ groundwater access. In the long term, WhiteWave continues to focus in the long term on conservation andland diversity. In addition, WhiteWave is a charter sponsor of Change the Course (CTC), a water sustainability campaign created by Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF), National Geographic and Participant Media, that works to conserve freshwater, preserve the ecological health of the Colorado River and engage and educate local citizens about how they can reduce their water footprints daily. WhiteWave has chosen to support CTC because of the strategic importance of water in Colorado to WhiteWave and to a host of other users. We also look for ways to reduce water use in our own operations particularly plants, while still meeting the expectations of customers and regulators. For example, we have to wash equipment between batches for allergen management but have investigated using recycled water.
