Our pilot efforts in Denmark are ongoing but we are observing an increasing trend in the takeback of small circulators. In line with our social commitment to employee people with reduced working capabilities, the returned products are manually disassembled and the different fractions are remanufactured or recycled. Securing our License to Operate With increasing demands from regulatory bodies, international standards and customers, Grundfos used 2014 and 2015 to prepare the implementation of standards, including the new ISO14001 standard. We will continue this in 2016, by further strengthening our processes to ensure we live up to changing standards before they become mandatory. With a key Grundfos value being open and trustworthy, this is truly a license to operate for Grundfos. Year Returned pumps from partners (kg.) 2013 2014 2015 1906 2093 6057
