John,

Costco has a massive contract with bottled water giant BlueTriton, which
makes its money by pumping water out of communities suffering from drought
and water scarcity.

The wholesaler is known for its ethical business practices and commitment
to sustainability, but there is nothing ethical or sustainable about this
partnership with BlueTriton. That is why Costco’s execs need to hear from
you.

Costco has shown time and again that it responds to customers raising
issues like this. If enough people like you speak out, we can get them to
uphold their values and dump BlueTriton.

[ [link removed] ]Sign here to ask Costco to remove BlueTriton bottled spring water from
its shelves.

Just last year Costco publicly announced its new Climate Action Plan,
which identified water as “a precious and limited resource that cannot be
wasted.” And yet the company is working with a supplier that sources its
water from drought-stricken areas, national parks, and communities who are
worried about running out of water.

In fact, six communities across North America are actively fighting to
stop BlueTriton from taking away their local water supply. In California,
where people have been suffering through an historic drought, extreme
weather, and water usage restrictions, BlueTriton has been draining away
24 times more water than it’s legally allowed to.

If Costco truly wants to fulfill its Sustainability Commitment, it cannot
continue to work with suppliers like BlueTriton that do harm to
communities and delicate ecosystems.

[ [link removed] ]Act now to demand that Costco dumps suppliers that contribute to water
scarcity.

Part of Costco’s Sustainability Commitment is to continuously seek ways to
improve, and it has a history of living up to that commitment. In 2019,
the company stopped selling Roundup and all other glyphosate products
after consumers grew concerned about the chemical’s safety. And in 2020,
Costco started the process of sourcing exclusively cage-free eggs in
response to a campaign by animal welfare activists. Together we can put
enough pressure on Costco to stop selling BlueTriton bottled water, and
any other product that contributes to water scarcity.
