Join For Water
Sopra Steria Benelux is committed to the right to water, convinced that it represents one of the key challenges facing humanity over the coming decades. Everyone has a role to play to preserve the environment.

FACT 1: 2.1 billion people globally lack safe water at home
Our action: financial sponsorship to promote education and sustainable water use in countries in need
Together with Join For Water, the only NGO in Belgium that focuses solely on water, Sopra Steria Benelux raises awareness amongst its stakeholders about the challenges people in Uganda face. Contaminated water and poor sanitation are the leading causes of disease and high infant mortality rates in the country. With our support, Join For Water has the ability to make a positive impact in the lives of thousands of Ugandans by providing clean drinking water and sanitation.
FACT 2: More than 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year.
Our action: improve the use of water resources within our own facilities. By using this reusable bottle, you will be saving 1,460 plastic bottles per year
Plastic pollution has reached unprecedented levels and it has become one of the most pressing issues in today’s world. Sopra Steria Benelux is committed to reduce single-use plastic waste by creating awareness regarding its impact and hopefully inspire people in a positive way to promote long lasting change.
In order to go further and embody these two objectives, Sopra Steria Benelux pledges to donate 1 euro to Join For Water for each bottle distributed.
