Our values are what unite us CONTENTS Grundfos is based on an extremely strong foundation, which goes all the way back to our founder. Our core values are at the very heart of our identity and they are what set us apart from the rest. They make us something special. They define us, shape us and unite us. We must therefore uphold and live our values. Like the world around us, we too are changing. It is no secret that I have an ambitious dream about how Grundfos will look in 2025. For this dream to become a reality – and it will – we must grow, we must develop new business areas and we must become ever more global. In short, we are a company under continuous strong development. In any organisation, this type of process carries with it the risk of perhaps being a little too inclined to forget who we are. This must not be allowed to happen. We must therefore stop and ask ourselves from time to time what it is that unites us today and will continue to unite us in the future. This is why we have taken a good look at our values to check that they are relevant to the business we are running today – and to ensure that they reflect the mindset and language of our employees today and in the future. As a result, we have six revitalised values. The idea is that they will provide the foundation for the Grundfos of the future and give us specific direction in our business. So, if you understand the values, you will usually understand the reasons behind the decisions made within the company. The starting gun for expanding our values has been fired. This took place in May in Copenhagen and at a number of workshops held at all the companies on 20 June. While we had all the managers from all the companies together, I also mentioned a new set of management prin ciples. You will be hearing more about these later. First, we must focus on our values. Inside the magazine, you can read much more about the values and about how they are lived out in different parts of the group. I hope you can relate to them – and that you will say: Yes, that’s why I work for Grundfos! Why we are here 22 28 Pumps, blood and lots of snow Best regards Carsten Bjerg Group President & CEO
