Diageo:
"The BigSplash initiative has helped us raise awareness across our company of water efficiency issues and as a result we can now better manage our water usage. By communicating environmental awareness to our employees, we have made cost savings of 15 per cent. I would highly encourage other Scottish businesses to start working to reduce their water use as a priority-the business benefits are ready for the taking."
Robert Badger, one of Diageo's Environmental Managers

"With £27,000 of potential savings on the table, the BigSplash initiative is not only helping us improve water efficiency but is leading to significant financial savings. Following an onsite water visit, we are now poised to begin a process of measurement, monitoring and staff training which will offer insight into particular areas where water savings, and indeed cost savings, can be made."
Thomas Morton, Plant Engineer, National Semiconductor
Mahle Engine Systems UK Ltd:
"An onsite water visit has allowed us to regulate how much water we consume and exactly where we can reduce usage.

It's a win-win situation, with benefits to our bottom line, environmental policy and importantly, the environment."
Gavin Murray, Lean Deployment Manager at MAHLE Engine Systems UK Ltd
