On this webinar, we sit down with Andy Battjes, Director of Global Environmental Sustainability at Brown-Forman to delve into the critical aspect of achieving water balance through circular economy practices.
Andy will share how data-driven insights and innovative technologies enabled Brown Forman to recycle and reuse water within production processes.
We highlighted a case study featuring Brown-Forman's facility in Mexico and uncovered the opportunities for water circularity, discussing both water stewardship journeys and the technology-driven solutions that help sites optimize their water usage.
Discover how this approach can transform regulatory threats into security and contribute to your net positive goals!
