Mesa partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation with the help of the local non-profit organization, Arizona Sustainability Alliance to help plant nearly 40 trees and shrubs at Sunridge Park in Phoenix in March 2024. Team Members from Mesa and Phoenix volunteered in the effort, aiming to address heat disparity and improve tree equity to benefit the community.
Sunridge Park, a public park in southwest Phoenix, was chosen for its potential to equitably distribute trees throughout the neighborhood. The team planted a mix of native and non-native trees and shrubs, all of which are desert-adapted and drought tolerant. This partnership and tree planting highlights our commitment to beautifying neighborhoods, bringing in fresh air, reducing carbon emissions and increasing canopy cover.
Mesa Team Members worked hand in hand to create a greener space for their community.
Some of the local organizations our Team Members regularly donate their time and resources to include:
- A New Leaf
- City of Mesa
- House of Refuge
- Heroes Run Mesa
- Save the Family
Our Focus on Sustainability
Niagara is committed to responsible resource usage and integrating sustainability into every aspect of our business. Niagara not only supports environmental initiatives, but innovation and leadership in their product, packaging, manufacturing, while promoting consumer awareness and action on sustainability issues. Here’s how Niagara is prioritizing sustainability:
- Water Stewardship: A standard Niagara facility uses less water to produce its products than it takes to keep three golf courses green. Niagara pays volumetric fees for the water it uses and millions in taxes and fees to municipal systems that enable them to maintain and improve their infrastructure.
- Packaging Efficiency: Niagara leads the industry with the lightest bottles and film used for packaging, significantly reducing plastic use, and further optimizes packaging by eliminating unnecessary corrugate components.
- Lowest Environmental Impact: Niagara PET water bottles have the lowest environmental impact across most impact categories when compared to other common beverage and water packaging types.
- Recycling Infrastructure and Education: Niagara supports The Recycling Partnership, which has rolled out 1.7 million recycling carts and the International Bottled Water Association’s “Put it in the Bin” recycling education campaign.

Our team’s mission is to promote and advance the strategic goals of the company through relationship building and engagement with public policy makers, government officials and community leaders.
