Our mission: Provide access to quality water by exploring blue tech solutions for a better planet !
For just two generations, we have been consuming bottled water that is transported by lorry for hundreds of miles.
CASTALIE offers businesses a replacement solution so that our drinking choices are no longer governed by habit or convenience.

A story that began in 2011
CASTALIE, a member of the Social and Solidarity Economy
CASTALIE is part of the Social and Solidarity Economy (ESS), and an accredited Solidarity Enterprise of Social Utility (ESUS), like 1,700 other companies in France. What does this mean, exactly?
The ESS is composed of organisations seeking to reconcile social utility, solidarity, economic performance and shared governance, with the goal of creating jobs and developing greater social cohesion.
As for ESUS accreditation, its main goal is social utility, and it has a direct impact on a company’s accounts. At CASTALIE, we have made firm commitments. These include:
Corporate purpose
Our articles of association now specify that our corporate purpose is to contribute to sustainable development.
Shared governance
Our articles of association have set up an SSE Committee, whose purpose is to help the managers define the company’s strategy, ensure that it upholds its ESS obligations, and measure the company’s social impact.
Salary policy
• At CASTALIE, the average salary given to the five best-paid employees or managers cannot exceed seven times the annual compensation received by a full-time employee.
• The salary given to the best-paid employee or manager cannot exceed ten times the annual compensation received by a full-time employee.

The first water dispenser in France committed for people and the planet !
