BRITA X BELU partnership
Long standing BRITA partner and reseller BELU is a drinks business and a social enterprise that brings tailored filtration solutions to workplaces, minimising plastic waste, reducing carbon footprint and championing a circular economy. BELU invests 100% of their profits in people and planet, which includes giving £5.5m since 2011 to WaterAid, to bring clean water to communities worldwide.
BRITA working in partnership with BELU means responsible sourcing, lower carbon emissions and help for businesses towards ESG roadmap delivery.
Luke Tullo, Operations Lead at BELU says: "BRITA offers excellent quality systems, dispensing hot water alongside still and/or sparkling. Additionally they have a strong service and customer care team and are able to manage large scale installs and maintenance programmes in workspaces, which often have challenging access requirements."
Why the BRITA Extra C-Tap was the right choice for Zurich offices?
For corporate office spaces, the Extra C-Tap is the recommended water dispenser given its reliability and reduced environmental impact and waste.
With it's premium sleek design, safety features and ease of use, the Extra C-tap delivers high performance cold and hot water dispensing.
Bringing smart features like night-mode, portion control and ThermalGateTM, this tap can be seamlessly integrated within office kitchens and communal spaces, positively impacting staff hydration and wellbeing in busy office environments.
Switching to BRITA filtration enables companies to eradicate the need for single-use plastic bottles throughout the business, meaning less waste, lower carbon footprint and reduced logistical and storage challenges.
Louise Sheppard, UK Head of Workplace Services and Social Sustainability at Zurich Insurance Company
Sustainability is vitally important to us. We don’t sell single-use plastic water bottles in our locations and have not done so for many years. Plus, we actively encourage and support our employees to think sustainably wherever possible. Our BRITA filtration taps and BELU social enterprise model, provide our people and guests with hot, chilled, and ambient water at the touch of a button, which means we have also been able to move away from our hot drink vending machines units to a less-waste, more sustainable approach.

Wellbeing initiatives are not always straightforward to manage and implement. In the world of hybrid working – are office drinks on a Friday still relevant, or are employees looking for something more?
