How does Huel reduce water usage in its supply chain?

Explains how Huel reduces water usage by prioritizing low water-impact ingredients and assessing the water footprint of all sourced materials.

Written by Jamie Forbes

Huel manages water use across both its supply chain and its own operations, with a focus on ingredient selection and responsible sourcing.

Ingredient selection

Huel prioritizes plant-based ingredients like oats and peas, which generally require significantly less water to grow than animal-based protein sources. This choice of lower water-impact ingredients is a core part of how Huel reduces its overall water footprint.

Supply chain assessment

Huel assesses the water footprint of all ingredients to guide sourcing decisions. Where ingredients carry a higher water risk — particularly in regions with water scarcity — Huel works to identify lower-impact alternatives or collaborates with suppliers to improve water efficiency.

Operational water use

In Huel's own production operations, water use is monitored and managed as part of broader environmental performance targets. Huel is committed to reducing water intensity as the business grows.

By choosing lower water-impact ingredients from the ground up, Huel aims to make every meal as water-efficient as it is nutritious.
