Environmental Protection
Over the past two decades, our exploration of water sources and the surrounding forests has deepened our reverence for nature.
To preserve the natural ecosystems around these water sources, we uphold a strict “environment-first” principle in all our operations. We work in harmony with our surroundings—recognizing that we are merely humble guests.
From factory design to construction, every step is guided by our commitment to environmental integration. We strive to minimize our ecological footprint - respecting nature rather than disrupting it—protecting it rather than exploiting it.
Social Responsibility
At Nongfu Spring, we believe that natural drinking water is more than just our product — it’s our way of giving back. From responding to natural disasters to supporting long-term welfare programs, our actions reflect a lasting commitment to care, gratitude, and the well-being of our communities.
