Macedonian Water: Crystal water that sparks life for man and Earth

Macedonia’s Waters sparkle from the hot springs Valerachi – Gardinia, on the proud peaks of Mount Paiko, which has to its west, Kaimaktsalan and to the east, the valley of Axios. From Mount Paiko, famous for the forest with its chestnut trees and lush slopes, springs the crystal clear waters of Macedonia that have reached every Greek table, while conquering every corner of the world. Close to the sources, Kilkis, the company has created a state-of-the-art factory, in which strict quality standards and international protocols are respected, as well as management standards, in full compliance with European and national legislation. However, the well – known company has one more reason to be proud. This is because this year he obtained the Carbon Neutral certification, as the 1st bottled water factory with a zero carbon footprint – a distinction that is, admittedly, a milestone in the long and successful course of Paiko Nero Macedonia. This certification, which differentiates Paiko on the domestic market and proves in practice the company’s commitment to keep the environment clean, as much as its own water, is not at all random. As is not accidental, its success in international markets, with its presence in 25 countries on the five continents. In this way, Paiko Nera Macedonia builds the conditions that all its activities, not only not burden the health of our planet, but, on the contrary, contribute to the imperative need for a sustainable environment that will renew the “contract” of the next generations for a better future. The aim of the company is to disseminate a higher water bottled and packaged with last generation systems. Thus, Paiko Nera Macedonia comes to consumers pure and crystal, just as nature offers. Already, since their founding, the Macedonian Waters have invested in the vision to highlight this place with the great historical significance and unique natural wealth. Carbon Neutral certification confirms the fact that, the carbon footprint of a company, a product, a service or an event has been measured in accordance with the ClimatePartner Protocol, and that, depending on the rate of burden caused by their specific activities, the “responsible” have funded a certified project for the environment. Thus the Carbon Neutral sign for the water plant of Macedonia was conquered through the recording of the level of its pollutants, their reduction (e.g. by photovoltaic parks, reduction of transport pollutants of products, etc.), but also through its participation in actions that reduce the company’s environmental footprint. Especially for the release of unavoidable pollutants, these were offset by financing projects that reduce or even remove global emissions of pollutants. This is the practical evidence of the firm’s robust environmental protection strategy. It is also noteworthy that the purity and purity of the company’s waters have been documented by studies by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Greek Geological and Mineral Research Authority on their physical and chemical composition, thus being considered by the most quality waters in Greece. And it’s just these waters, with the balanced cruelty, pH 8, the low sodium content and their naturality, that reach our table as Paiko Nera Macedonia. Also, Paiko Nera Macedonia considers, as an integral part of its upward course, its human resources. As stated in its website: “We keep up with technological developments, we use last generation equipment and above all we trust our people: a highly skilled scientific and labour force, which originates mainly from the wider region. Through important initiatives, we constantly upgrade our technological infrastructure, aiming to ensure the smooth, sustainable development of the region, as well as to protect our staff.” At the same time, the initiatives of Paiko Nera Macedonia include recycling and waste management systems, measures to ensure excellent working conditions, while the company’s operation is in line with the latest technological developments. Also, the company is actively active in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility, both for man and the environment. In this direction, it supports its people and contributes to local development through evolving investment programmes, while promoting local sports events, social actions, non-profit initiatives and local cultural events.
