Our impact partners
How we implement nature based solutions
Working Together to Maximise Impact
In 2021 Belu made the decision to move away from opaque carbon offsetting initiatives and instead chose to redirect funding to invest in nature-based solutions in and around the UK, starting with our mineral water source in Montgomeryshire, Wales.
Belu follows PAS 808 principles and best practices to foster stakeholder alignment across our partners and the Belu Collective as a whole. As a purpose-driven organisation, it’s at the heart of everything we do and embedded within our policies and processes.
Our impact partnerships are integral to how we are changing the way the world sees water and showing that there is a better way to do business. We have joined forces with a handful of businesses and invested in nature based projects across the UK we believe will benefit waterways, wildlife and improve the health and wellbeing of local communities.
Our impact partnerships support and align with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals 6, 12, 13, 14 and 17.
We are always keen to connect with likeminded organisations with similar values.

We invest in WaterAid’s work across 28 countries so that they can work where the need is greatest, to bring clean water to everyone, everywhere within a generation.
Since our collaboration began in 2011, Belu has committed to giving 100% net profits to WaterAid. These funds are entirely unrestricted so WaterAid can choose where to use them. That means the most urgent and important projects can be prioritised and it’s one of the things that makes our partnership so special.
The partnership aims to support The Rivers Trust in protecting, promoting and enhancing freshwater ecosystems for both people and wildlife.
We supported a rejuvenation project along the Montgomery Canal near our source to clear weed and introduce ‘leaky dams’ to filter out debris and create new habitats.
This partnership aims to conserve London’s rivers and canals, to improve public knowledge and appreciation of their heritage, ecology and amenity value, and how they might be protected from pollution and improved to benefit people and wildlife.
Belu has supported the restoration and clearance of the River Ravensbourne and Glass Mill Pond in South London, boosting biodiversity and wellbeing.
The partnership aims to support WRAP in accelerating the transition to a sustainable, resource-efficient economy by embedding Circular Living in every boardroom and home, and creating a thriving world where resources are used sustainably for the benefit of the climate, nature, and people.
We supported a project in the South East, with an emphasis on the River Medway, to prevent chemical run off
from farms, develop water resilience maps and mapping polytunnels.
The partnership aims to support Blue Marine in protecting and restoring life in the ocean. Their mission is see at least 30% of the ocean protected by 2030.
We’re supporting this by funding broader marine protection through the Sussex Kelp Recovery project.
Communigrow is a sustainable food education charity. They teach people how to grow chemical free food, using the therapeutic benefits of gardening to bring about positive change to physical and mental wellbeing.

Canal & River Trust Leaky Dams (2023)
