Use Cases

Transportation hubs are key to meeting EU environmental targets. Oasis products align directly with the European Union’s Sustainable Development Goals (ESDGs):

• GOAL 6: ENSURE CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
• GOAL 12: ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND REDUCE WASTE
• GOAL 13: TAKE URGENT ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Implementing hydration stations in transportation hubs directly aligns with several EU sustainability initiatives and policy frameworks. By promoting reusable bottle refills and reducing dependence on single-use plastics, hydration infrastructure supports the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive, which aims to curb plastic waste and its environmental impact.

Moreover, enhancing public access to clean drinking water contributes to the European Green Deal’s objective of building a healthier, climate-neutral Europe. These hydration solutions also play a role in urban resilience and sustainable mobility planning, both of which are emphasized in the EU Urban Mobility Framework and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy.

For operators and planners, integrating hydration systems into transport infrastructure demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship, resource efficiency, and the well-being of both travelers and staff. This makes public transport environments not only more sustainable but also more aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) endorsed by the EU.

In today’s fast-paced workplaces, hydration plays a vital role in maintaining employee wellbeing, cognitive function, and sustained productivity. Access to clean, readily available drinking water supports sharper focus, faster decision-making, and better overall mental performance—essentials in modern knowledge-based and service economies.

Even mild dehydration has been shown to impair short-term memory and concentration by up to 25%, increasing fatigue and reducing workplace efficiency¹ . These effects can be particularly costly in office, tech, or industrial environments where attention to detail and rapid processing are critical.

Workplace hydration infrastructure also aligns with broader EU objectives around health promotion and sustainability. The European Hydration Institute found that providing water access at work not only supports healthier dietary choices—by reducing reliance on sugary or packaged drinks—but also boosts morale and overall employee satisfaction².

Incorporating bottle fillers and mains-fed hydration stations into corporate campuses helps meet sustainability targets under the EU Green Deal and the European Sustainable Development Goals, while actively fostering a healthier, more resilient workforce.

Today’s businesses face mounting pressure from investors, regulators, and consumers to make measurable progress on climate targets, minimize waste, and uphold robust ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) commitments. By integrating Oasis hydration stations into corporate campuses, organizations can take concrete action on several key European Sustainable Development Goals (ESDGs):

Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being
Prioritizing employee health is central to business success. Providing easy access to clean drinking water helps staff stay hydrated throughout the day, reducing fatigue and the risk of illness. Hydration stations encourage healthier beverage choices, contributing to overall workplace wellness programs and lowering sick-leave rates.

Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
Oasis systems deliver filtered, microbiologically safe water directly from the mains, ensuring consistent quality and hygiene. This supports corporate health and safety policies, while advancing the EU’s objective of universal access to safe drinking water in public and private spaces.

Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Single-use plastic bottles represent a significant source of office waste. A single hydration station can replace up to 50,000 plastic bottles each year, drastically cutting procurement and disposal costs. The built-in digital bottle saving counter provides transparent data for sustainability reports, demonstrating reductions in plastic consumption.

Goal 13: Climate Action
Reducing the lifecycle emissions of bottled water—from production and transport to disposal—is a clear way to shrink a company’s carbon footprint. Oasis’s energy-efficient chillers and UV-C disinfection systems consume minimal power, aligning with corporate climate strategies and helping achieve targets under the EU Green Deal.

By installing Oasis refilling stations across lobbies, break areas, and meeting rooms, corporate offices can eliminate tens of thousands of single-use plastic bottles annually. This not only advances environmental objectives but also strengthens ESG disclosures—giving stakeholders clear, quantifiable evidence of your company’s commitment to sustainable operations.

ENHANCES PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE
Proper hydration is critical for optimal physical performance. Dehydration, especially when it exceeds a loss of 2% of body mass, reduces endurance, shortens time to exhaustion, and impairs strength and power. Performance is more severely affected when fluid loss reaches 3%–4% of body weight¹.

PROMOTES HEALTH AND SAFETY
Dehydration can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and severe complications such as heat-related illnesses. Providing easily accessible water dispensers encourages gym-goers to stay hydrated, reducing the risk of dehydration and fostering a safer workout environment.

ENCOURAGES HEALTHY HABITS
Accessible water dispensers promote a culture of health and wellness within the gym. By encouraging regular hydration, gyms help members develop positive habits that extend beyond workouts, supporting long-term well-being.

ENHANCES THE OVERALL GYM EXPERIENCE
Gyms are not just workout spaces but environments that should motivate and energize members. Well-maintained water dispensers contribute to the gym’s ambiance and demonstrate the facility’s commitment to members’ well-being, enhancing their overall experience.
