Aquablu

““Aquablu en Fosbury passen bij elkaar omdat ze beide premium zijn, en we zijn eigenlijk altijd op zoek naar manieren om een gezonde plek voor mensen te zijn,””

““Die Leute kamen zu uns und meinten: ‚Oh mein Gott, das ist so gut. Das ist nicht normal. Das ist nicht gewöhnlich. Das hat das gewisse Etwas.‘””

““Wir haben es einfach mal ausprobiert und plötzlich ging es total ab. Ich glaube, schon nach einer Woche mussten wir die Geschmacksrichtungen nachfüllen,””

“„Aquablu und Fosbury passen einfach zusammen, weil beide Premium sind, und wir sind eigentlich immer auf der Suche nach Möglichkeiten, ein gesunder Ort für die Menschen zu sein“”

“When you only say things, different people interpret them differently. You can bring it to the CFO or the management board and present it, and maybe they get more motivated and they understand you better.”

“Make a mind map or a big vision board. Put in all the high priorities, and use categories, because 'we need this' and 'we want this' are two different things,”

“They want to motivate colleagues to drink more water, and it's also a social gathering,”

“They'd always said, 'I'm jealous, we don't have it in Utrecht,'”

“If you do it yourself, buying bottles at the supermarket, I have to go and buy it, so it costs me my working time, and I could be focusing on other things. If you arrange everything through one supplier, they arrange everything for us. So they said yes, we're willing to invest in that.”

“They made a budget explicitly for that office and booked it separately, so we know exactly what the new office cost.”

“I asked them, 'do you have a budget, something I can keep in mind when I order things?' And they said, 'just go and talk to Aquablu, see what it is and how much it costs.'”

“First I make a proposal, with information and also why this is a good office. I write down the highlights, the good things it can give us, and also the things we were missing,”

“If something breaks the company comes and fixes it. So it’s one cost, but eventually it pays off. I can always call and someone comes and fixes it for us. If you buy it instead, you have to fix it yourself, or you have costs later on.”

“With one system, you don't have a colleague who has to go and buy it every week. Now we have it, I arrange everything, from the installation to making sure there are enough flavors and that everything is properly cleaned,”

“So I thought it worked both ways: easier for me with finance, and more efficient.”

“They told me the new program means one invoice. You can order the way you're used to, but it all comes in on one invoice. And for our current lease plan, the pricing was more convenient on the new one too.”

““Nobody around here drinks soft drinks anymore””

““The number of different drinks options available really set the REFILL+ apart from the competition.””

““Aquablu really shows your employees that you care about their well-being—and about the environment.””

““We wanted the workplace to be fun again—a place where you meet colleagues, play a game, have a chat at the coffee machine… or now, the Aquablu machine.””

““The whole concept was not welcoming. It wasn’t inspiring to go to the office.””

““I always drink two or three coffees at home because the coffee at the office is… not that great.””

“"Would we do it again? Absolutely. The process was smooth, the impact is real, and the benefits touch every part of the business. I’d recommend Aquablu to any hotel looking to improve sustainability and guest experience in one move."”

““More and more, guests recognize the impact of eliminating plastic bottles. The new generation expects it. In five years, these systems will be standard in many hotels.””

“"If all 9,000 Marriott hotels worldwide stopped using plastic bottles, the impact would be massive. We knew we had to be leading this change."”
