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.
Sustainability at Grundfos
Sustainability constitutes a fundamental component of our 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:

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.
Building a water resilient world
Water is the source of life. But the water cycle is increasingly out of balance – too much, too little or too polluted. To help secure water for homes, buildings, industries and communities worldwide in a changing climate, we are taking action to shape a water-resilient future with our water stewardship approach.
Decarbonise every drop of water
At Grundfos, a climate solution is found in every drop of water, especially when we move, manage and treat water by using less energy. That is why we are committed to reducing emissions through our intelligent energy-efficient solutions and taking action across our operations and supply chain.
Reducing impact across the product life cycle
We focus on developing products and solutions that enable energy and water efficiency, as well as circularity and reduced material use.
Global governance policies
We’re committed to being an ethical, value-based corporate citizen operating fairly and legally in every market.
