Create impact

Our founder once said that “the world is full of problems that can be solved in a better way.” To this day, that quote shapes who we are. Always seeking the possibilities to change the world for the better.

We believe that innovation is not only a business opportunity, but an obligation. What really matters to us is not short term profit, but the impact we make. We have the determination and power to set the standard for the industry and society as a whole.

Joining Grundfos, you play a pivotal role in driving change. You are an ambassador of water with the ultimate aim of solving the world’s most challenging water and climate issues. 


We do not only drive change. We create impact.

The world is changing, and so are we. In fact, we must be one step ahead, because the world is counting on our solutions. We dare to do things that others do not in order to overcome the complex challenge of advancing water in the most intelligent way. 

At Grundfos, you become part of our unique culture where we empower you to make bold moves to unlock new possibilities for innovative solutions and personal development. In our empowering environment, personal development is not just an option; it is a priority.

Succeed together

From day one, you will experience that you are part of a big powerful team. We are shaping the future because we have the right minds, hands and hearts. You can do great things on your own, but together, and with our differences, we can do it smarter, faster and more exciting. We have a can-do spirit.

Being responsible, inclusive and caring are part of who we are. This makes us unique as a company and as a workplace. We are in it together, and we can always count on each other.

Every one of us matters. We succeed together.

A strong foundation guides us

Grundfos was established in 1945 by founder Poul Due Jensen in Denmark, who believed that there is no limit to what can be achieved together. Today, we continue to believe that the combined talent, passion and effort of all Grundfos employees and our partners hold close to unlimited potential, which is strongly reflected in our purpose and values.

Tackling the water and climate challenges

We can, will, and must play a vital role in solving the world’s water and climate challenges with our solutions. Our purpose is to pioneer solutions to the world's water and climate challenges and improve quality of life for people. Therefore, we have clear, long-term water and climate ambitions to do whatever is in our power to help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular 6 and 13.

Clean water and sanitation: We will halve our own water consumption by 2025. By 2030, we will have contributed to providing safely managed drinking water to 300 million people in need. In addition, through water efficiency and water treatment, we will have saved the consumption of 50 billion m3 of fresh water.

Climate action: We will halve our own CO2 emissions by 2025.

Our employee-driven program, Water2Life, engages colleagues in more than 35 countries with the purpose of bringing clean water to communities in need on every continent. Since 2010, Grundfos employees have raised more than €600,000, providing clean sustainable water systems for over 50,000 people in Kenya, Vietnam and Honduras.

We care for people 

Our employees are our most valuable asset, which is also why we have a long history of being socially responsible. We strongly believe in diversity and inclusion, and it is important for us to treat employees equally regardless of personal characteristic or status. We care about the health and mental well-being of our people, and we have committed ourselves to employ people with reduced work capacity.
