🎉 Reflecting on an incredible 5-year journey with Zereau Drinks | KRNWTR+ 🌍💧
Five years ago, I embarked on a mission with founder Tom Niekamp to revolutionize the way we consume water—championing local over single-use packaging that burdens our planet. Today, I'm looking back at 5 milestones with gratitude:
1️⃣ Team Growth: From just Tom and ★ Roderick Burger l MSc l MA(ed) juggling side jobs, to a passionate team of 20 eager beavers. Together, we've tirelessly worked to disrupt the unsustainable beverage industry. 🚀
2️⃣ Revenue Growth: Achieving a 6-fold increase in revenues, translating our vision into tangible impact. 💼📈
3️⃣ Market Recognition: From opening the Amsterdam Stock Exchange with a bang 📊🔔, various TV, newspaper and radio appearances to being celebrated as a changemaker with the Food100 award. 🏆
4️⃣ Partnerships and Clients: Collaborating with amazing clients and partners like Peakz Padel, Vermaat, Almere City FC, PwC, KPMG, Meta/Facebook, Van Gogh Museum, Artis, Shell, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Landal GreenParks, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., ISS A/S Facilicom Group, PEC Zwolle even The Coca-Cola Company's Dutch head office and many more, to promote sustainable drinking. 🌱🤝
5️⃣ Community Support: None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support from our colleagues, partners, committed shareholders, clients, crowd funders, bankers, and everyone who believed in our mission. Your encouragement & support has been the backbone of our success. ❤️
As I transition, my commitment to Social Enterprise KRNWTR+ remains unshaken. I'll continue to support our cause as a very dedicated shareholder. But the question lingers—WHAT'S NEXT??
Having provided "shelter" and quenched thirst with the best tasting cold drinks, the journey continues to unfold and am brewing on something new. Stay tuned! 🌟
Huge thanks to everyone who's been part of this journey. Here's to more innovation, impact and sustainability in the years to come. 🌏💦
