Obama Chooses Fiji Water

Thursday July 2, 2009

Fiji Water’s popularity is set to grow even further after US President Barack Obama was photographed drinking the artesian water.

The pristine water is drawn from a 40m-deep groundwater well, known as an aquifer, in the highlands North of Suva.

Despite its pure image, Fiji Water’s environmental footprint has come under scrutiny resulting in the company launching a “Fiji Green” Campaign.

In the US, Fiji Water is the second most imported bottled water after Evian.
