We believe that every drop of water has the power to change the world, and we’re all about unlocking that potential. Because where others see problems, we see opportunities.
Built on a strong Foundation
Thirty years after founding Grundfos, Poul Due Jensen created the Grundfos Foundation. He transferred to it primary ownership of the Grundfos Group to ensure his company would serve the best interests of society for generations to come.
The Foundation’s main purpose is to ensure and support healthy economic growth and development of the Grundfos Group (currently maintaining 87.5% primary ownership), while also funding philanthropic work in the fields of water, research and inclusion. With separate governance bodies, this unique ownership structure allows Grundfos to maintain a high degree of independence and a long-term perspective.
Our purpose is at our core
Water has always been the heart and soul of Grundfos. That’s why we’re driven to pioneer solutions to the world’s water and climate challenges and improve quality of life for people. This purpose is central to everything we do, and it’s supported by our six core values: sustainable, open and trustworthy, focused on people, independent, partnership and relentlessly ambitious.
Driving our product and business development, our sustainability ambitions focus on the areas we can lead and make greatest impact: saving water, saving energy, improving water access, and developing a circular business. We're the first water solutions company to set validated, science-based targets to achieving net zero emissions, and set rigorous standards to continually improve our social impact and inclusion.
