Tap water flows out of a faucet in New York June 14, 2009. As environmental worries cut into sales from traditionally lucrative bottled water, beverage companies such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestle and SABMiller are becoming more attuned to the risks of negative consumer environmental perceptions. Water is becoming scarcer, raising a fear that so-far manageable price increases could spike and leading drink companies to take action to maintain access to water and fight their image as water hogs.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a pressing global issue - the scarcity of water and its impact on beverage companies. Taken in New York on June 14,2009, it showcases tap water flowing out of a faucet. The image serves as a reminder that environmental concerns have started to affect sales of bottled water, prompting major players like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestle, and SABMiller to address negative consumer perceptions regarding their environmental practices. As fears grow about dwindling water resources, these beverage giants are taking proactive measures to secure access to this vital commodity while combating their reputation as "water hogs". The photograph symbolizes the urgent need for action by drink companies in order to maintain sustainability and prevent potentially drastic price increases in the future. By capturing this moment in time when corporations began acknowledging their role in preserving our planet's most precious resource, Reuters photographer Eric Thayer highlights an important shift towards corporate responsibility. This image not only documents an event but also serves as a visual representation of how businesses can adapt and evolve to meet changing societal expectations.
