AS the year draws to a close, the team at ISHKA Irish Spring Water in Ballyneety would like to extend warm season’s greetings to all our customers, partners and friends across Limerick and beyond. It has been a remarkable year for ISHKA, marked by significant progress in sustainability, innovation and community partnership.
One of the highlights of 2025 was being awarded a Silver Medal by EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted business sustainability assessor. This recognition places ISHKA in the 90th percentile globally which means we rank among the top 10 percent of companies worldwide for environmental and social performance. For an independent, family-owned Irish business, this achievement is something the entire team is deeply proud of.
Sustainability has continued to guide ISHKA’s operations throughout the year. As part of our long-term commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, we completed the installation of solar panels across 95 percent of our available roof space. This large-scale solar system now powers the majority of our production facility, significantly cutting emissions while ensuring that ISHKA water is produced in a cleaner, greener and more energy-efficient way. This investment reflects our commitment to responsible manufacturing and our belief that local businesses can lead the way in environmental stewardship.
Of course, none of our success would be possible without the continued support of our Limerick retail and wholesale partners, who champion ISHKA on shelves across the region. To our loyal customers who choose ISHKA every day, we extend our heartfelt thanks for supporting local and supporting Irish.
From all of us at ISHKA Irish Spring Water, we wish you a joyful Christmas season and a healthy, happy and refreshing New Year ahead.
