Water is life. And access to it should never be a privilege. At Grundfos, we believe that safe, clean water is a human right. Through innovative technologies, deep-rooted partnerships, and a commitment to systemic change, we’re working to close the global water access gap and create lasting impact for communities around the world.
Improving water access across continents
Transforming water access takes more than technology – it takes trust, collaboration and bold partnerships.
Guided by our ambition and aligned with SDG 6, we believe water challenges are too complex for any one actor to solve alone. As a purpose-driven water company that moves water across the globe, we have a responsibility to use our scale, expertise, and global footprint to catalyse change.
We work in close collaboration with our partners: governments, NGOs, water service providers, humanitarian organisations, local distributors, service partners, private investors, banks and financing institutions.
Together, we’re designing solutions that fit local contexts and deliver sustainable impact across East and West Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions.
How we make it happen
To reach more people with clean, reliable water and pave the way for a better future for all, we pair proven technology with new ways of partnering and investing.
- Planning with communities – we start by listening, conducting needs assessments, evaluating water sources, and co-designing systems with local stakeholders.
- Innovative, commercially viable solutions – from high-performance urban networks to small, solar-powered systems for off-grid communities, we deliver solar pumping, treatment, smart metering, dispensing and distribution that keeps water flowing.
- Long-lasting impact – we invest in local capacity, training operators and enabling remote monitoring to ensure long-term performance and ownership.
Between 2020 and 2024, we’ve reached an estimated 51.2 million people with access to drinking water.
