Sustainability and a deep-rooted respect for people and planet has always been at the core of our business.
A deep-rooted respect for people and planet
At Grundfos, we believe water is the most essential resource on the planet. Yet to realise its potential and transition to a water-secure, net-zero future, the world faces several challenges. Amongst these are the need to move more water while using less energy, increase our resilience to the impacts of climate change, and improve access to water for all. These are global challenges and we’re committed to playing our part in solving them.
Ambitious goals
Sustainability is an integral part of the Grundfos 2025 business strategy. We’re accelerating our energy-efficient water and digital solutions, as this is where we can make the most impact on some of the world’s most critical challenges.
Four ambitions guide our sustainability future. These are the areas where we want to lead, and where we can have the greatest impact:
Top 1% of all rated companies.
In 2024 Grundfos achieved a platinum medal from EcoVadis, the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. This places us in the top 1% of over 130,000 rated companies. EcoVadis assessments allow us and our customers to get a detailed insight into our progress within environment, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement.
We’re proud to be the world’s first water solutions company with net-zero targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.
Setting validated science-based targets is one of our boldest steps forward in our sustainability ambitions. Taking the lead in climate action across our footprint and deep into our value chain, we unlock our best innovation and support our customers in reaching their own sustainability goals.
Committed to reducing our global footprint
Since pioneering energy-efficient water and digital solutions is our business, we’re committed to reducing our global footprint by saving our own energy and water, while also enabling a green supply chain.
Achieving our ambitions together
Our four ambitions directly connect with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and Goal 13 (Climate Action) are where we can contribute the most, by protecting the world’s water, alleviating climate challenges, protecting precious resources, and improving people’s quality of life.
By taking responsibility for our actions and working together, we can solve the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges in a better way. We see customers, employees, communities, suppliers, NGOs, governments and other businesses as our allies in creating change. Only together we will realise our full potential.
Global governance policies
We’re committed to being an ethical, value-based corporate citizen operating fairly and legally in every market.
