NBC, Quality Foods Africa Champion Water Stewardship

Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC), a member of Coca-Cola HBC (CCHBC) and the bottling partner of The Coca-Cola Company and Quality Foods Africa, operator of Dodo Pizza, Krispy Kreme, Scoop’d Ice Cream and Burger Nation, has reinforced its commitment to water stewardship and environmental sustainability across Nigeria in commemoration of World Water Day 2025.

World Water Day, observed annually on March 22, is a United Nations initiative to spotlight the importance of freshwater and advocate for sustainable water management. The 2025 theme, “Glacier Preservation,” underscores glaciers’ critical role in sustaining life and maintaining the global water cycle.

According to Corporate Affairs and Sustainability director at NBC, Oluwasoromidayo George,  the company marked the occasion with initiatives across several states, engaging communities, environmental advocates, and stakeholders to promote water conservation.

“Water is life—it sustains people, communities, and ecosystems. As the main ingredient in our products, we take our responsibility seriously by using it efficiently, treating it responsibly, and ensuring safe water returns to the communities we serve. Our World Water Day initiatives reflect this unwavering commitment,” George stated.
