 third-party inspection agency, such as the National Sanitation Foundation. These inspections audit quality and testing records, review all areas of plant operations and the bottling process, and check compliance with relevant national
standards, good manufacturing practices, and any other regulations set by the IBWA. If we fail to meet the standards set by the IBWA and the Water Quality Association, there could be an adverse impact on our reputation, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

In addition, increasing concern over climate change is expected to continue to
result in additional, and potentially conflicting, legal or regulatory requirements, which are designed to reduce or mitigate the effects of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions on the environment, to discourage the use of plastic
materials, to limit or impose additional costs on commercial water use due to local water scarcity concerns, or to expand disclosure of certain sustainability metrics by international, federal, state, or local governmental authorities in
jurisdictions in which we and/or our suppliers or business partners operate. For example, we may be subject to various disclosure requirements (such as greenhouse gas metrics, climate risks, use of offsets and emissions reduction claims) from the
State of California, such as Senate Bill 253 (The Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act) requiring U.S. entities with annual revenues greater than $1 billion doing business in California to publicly report their greenhouse gas emissions
beginning, and Senate Bill 261 (The Climate-Related Financial Risk Act) requiring U.S. entities with annual revenues over $500 million to bi-annually disclose climate-related financial risks and their mitigation strategies, among others. We also may
be subject to the SEC’s climate disclosure rules, if enforced by the incoming SEC leadership and if they survive litigation pending in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the rules, as well as other new or existing regulations or

requirements. Separately, various regulators have adopted, or are considering adopting, regulations on environmental marketing claims, including but not limited to the use of
“sustainable,” “eco-friendly,” “compostable,” “recyclable” or similar language in product marketing.

In recent years, there has been legislative and executive action in both state and local governments that has or would ban the use of bottled
water in municipal buildings, enact local taxes on bottled water, and/or limit the sale by municipalities of water supplies to private companies for resale. Such regulation could adversely affect our business and financial results. See “Risk
