Hildon was launched in 1989 when Christian Heppe purchased the Hildon estate and discovered the purity of the water source. Hildon water received a Royal Warrant in 2017 after years of
supplying products to Her Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II. The brand is committed to sustainability and puts it at the forefront of all of its actions.

As Hildon is a small-scale bottled water brand, this Environmental Report receives a top rating. Hildon also receives a high score for Genetic Modification as they only sell water- based products (which cannot be genetically modified), and have no links to any Political or Nuclear issues, or Armaments.

How could Hildon rate higher on our Ethical Bottled Water Ratings Tables? 

Due to the core values of Hildon, it would be hugely beneficial to the brand if they applied for Ethical Accreditation. Hildon’s score has been decided based on three main criteria: the Environment, Animals, and People within a company, and how much the brand considers this in its business practices.

A brand may use Ethical Accreditation and our Ethical Mark to increase customer trust. It’s also a certification for brands to demonstrate that they run ethically to investors, stakeholders and those who fund the business.
