Charity water: Bottled water for a good cause
The Zurich Duty Free water sold in the duty-free shops operated by Dufry at Zurich Airport also serves a good cause. For every bottle of water sold, 50 centimes are donated to a charitable organisation.
From September 2019 to May 2021, the sale of bottled water in the Zurich Duty Free Stores supported the Children's Hospital (Kispi) Zurich. The revenue from the collection campaign was presented in form of a cheque worth CHF 167’676 by Isabell Joos (Manager Retail Airside, Flughafne Zürich AG, Isabel Zarza, (Dufry COO Central & North Europe, Russia and Africa), Michael Bruderer (Dufry Operations General Manager Zurich Airport, and Lorenz Asch (Dufry Country Commercial Category Manager), Renzo Radice (Global Head Corporate Communication and Public Affairs, Dufry International AG), to Oliver Sack (Managing Director of the Eleonora Foundation) and Eva Lindemann (Fundraiser of the Eleonora Foundation).
Cooperation with Dufry AG
The "Charity Water" project was launched in 2014 as a joint project of Flughafen Zürich AG and Dufry. Since then, Zurich Duty Free mineral water has been sold in the Zurich Duty Free Stores at Zurich Airport for a good cause. For every bottle of mineral water sold at the price of CHF 2.50, which is obtained from the Adello spring in Adelboden, 50 centimes are donated to a charitable organisation. After Schweizer Berghilfe, Kinder-Spitex Kanton Zürich, Smiling Gecko and Pro Juventute, Kinderspital Zürich is the fifth organisation jointly supported by Flughafen Zürich AG and Dufry .
