Healthy water bodies are the foundation for functioning ecosystems, biological diversity and a viable society.

Vattenskydd.ax is Åland Water's information channel about water protection. Here we offer a platform for information and knowledge. In this way, we want to raise awareness about our dependence on clean and healthy water.

In the English pages you find information about the water protection areas in Åland, about the work for a sustainable drinking water supply for Åland and about the sustainability label Kranmärkt.

‘Kranmärkt’ is our ‘Eco-tap’ label, our sustainability label for businesses and organisations that choose tap water over bottled water as an environmentally friendly and much more economical choice.

Sustainable drinking water

Åland Water has put new focus on our strategic and sustainable development work since the autumn of 2016. The process has been linked with two ongoing processes in Åland: the work with a sustainable food strategy for Åland and the Åland Development and Sustainability Agenda, where the goal 3 says “All water is of good quality”.

Clean drinking water for everyone
