After making the world groove to his songs, Justin Bieber is all set to make the world’s drinking water more sustainable. Bieber and Micah Cravalho launched the clean water company called Generosity at the Qatar World Cup.
Generosity has been turned into a water technology company that provides premium alkaline water in refillable fountains across the world. Over 150 such fountains were showcased during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Bieber also spoke about the initiative to CNN and said “I want the world to have access to the best water. I also want countries to know how to best protect their people. The overuse of plastic is hurting us, we need to be more sustainable.”
The good thing about this initiative is that the company does not only want to provide the best drinking water but also wants to make it sustainable and reduce single-serve plastic.
The co-founder Cravalho said, “We aspire to be the global leader in water technology, empowering consumers with refillable products as an alternative to single-use packaging.”
Country’s Emir’s Sister Mayassa’s Statement
Both Bieber and Cravalho visited Qatar during the FIFA World Cup and met with the country’s emir’s sister Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
Mayassa released a press statement to talk about the initiative, it said “Having participated in beach clean-up efforts in Qatar for many years, I have witnessed first-hand the effect of pollution on our natural environment.”
She also mentioned that “Through initiatives such as those undertaken by Generosity and the Supreme Committee, and projects such as the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Art water bottles, which bring together the global artistic community to advocate for a more sustainable future, we are all encouraged to play our part during the World Cup and beyond.”
Justin Bieber’s close friend Jaden Smith also runs a water company. His company JUST focuses on making environmentally-friendly packages of water.
