Environmental conservation is not one of the three stated priority areas of the FIJI Water Foundation, but in our Foundation work, as in our business, we are constantly mindful of methods and activities which will protect Fiji’s precious environment. We encourage grant applicants to incorporate green strategies and priorities in education, health, and water projects and continue to support recycling infrastructure and green education in schools and communities around us



Similarly, the livelihood of our company relies on the health and well-being of our source aquifer and its surrounding environment. That’s why FIJI Water has undertaken a major initiative in partnership with Conservation International (CI), a leading conservation organization for the protection and preservation of the Sovi Basin rainforest in Fiji. The Sovi Basin, located on Viti Levu, covers over 50,000 acres and is the largest remaining lowland rainforest in the South Pacific.

Our contribution will provide funding to endow the Sovi Basin Trust Fund (SBTF). CI's Global Conservation Fund will also donate funding towards the SBTF. The SBTF will make annual disbursements that not only offset the cash value of the otherwise available logging payments to local land owners in the Sovi Basin, but also pay for land leases and create jobs.
