Water is vital for companies, from sinks and toilets to landscaping and cooling systems. But with rising water rates and increasingly common droughts, conserving water is not just good for the environment – it’s also good for your bottom line. So, have you ever stopped and thought about how many gallons of water are saved in your company?
That’s where Banyan Water comes in — an award-winning company that was recently recognized for its sustainability efforts. They help businesses achieve their water conservation goals with innovative software. Since they started, their data-driven water management approach has helped businesses save a staggering 5.4 billion gallons of water. Proof that big savings are possible without sacrificing functionality.
Banyan’s Impact: Gallons of Water Saved and Your Assets Protected
In 2023 alone, Banyan’s software helped businesses conserve a remarkable 619 million gallons of water. That’s enough to fill over 940 Olympic-sized swimming pools! But the benefits go beyond just water savings. By identifying and addressing leaks early on, Banyan’s solutions also helped create an estimated $40 million in asset value for their customers in 2023. This value comes from preventing costly property damage caused by undetected leaks.
Here’s what makes Banyan unique — Total Water Management. Unlike other solutions that focus on specific areas, Banyan offers a comprehensive water conservation software suite that tackles water use across your entire business. They’re the only company that provides such a holistic approach.
