GRUNDFOS SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS REPORT 2015 / 9 nces increase from 2014. It should be noted that a significant but unknown number of EDDs were held but just not registered in the system. For 2016, the EDD process has been merged with the annual process for setting and evaluating goals in the new Performance & Development Dialogue (PDD). Two elements of the PDD are worth highlighting in the context of employee development and motivation. Firstly, each goal is linked to a high-level Strategy 2020 goal so employees see how their goals fit into the bigger picture. Secondly, the objective of the dialogue is to set short-term and longer-term development and learning goals that will equip the employee for success in reaching performance goals and career aspirations. To better support this process, the People Portal is moving from the existing SAP platform to a new, best-in-class HR information system, Success Factors that is recognised for higher user adoption. This may affect data comparisons in 2016. 2015 was also the year Grundfos launched its Strategy 2020. Because of this, a lot of the training organised by the Poul Due Jensen Academy was concerned with deployment of the new Grundfos Group Strategy 2020. More than 700 leaders were involved in hands-on leadership development/training at eight Strategy Deployment Sessions in Shanghai, Frankfurt, Chicago, Singapore and Bjerringbro. Following these sessions, the 700 leaders attending have been facilitating strategy sessions with the rest of the leadership population in the company. This has provided a strong foundation for the continued deployment of the Strategy 2020. Sustainable mind-set through Water2Life Our employee programme Water2Life provides access to clean drinking water for poor people in developing countries. The purpose of Water2Life goes beyond providing clean drinking water; Water2Life also builds a sustainable mind-set among employees and generates an engagement for acting for a better world. Grundfos employees around the world arrange events and happenings in their local companies, encouraging colleagues to donate to Water2Life. Grundfos doubles the amount donated by the employees. In 2015, this engagement resulted in the establishment of four solar driven Grundfos SQflex water systems with Dosing & Disinfection for automatic and precise chlorination of the water in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Four small local water enterprises have been trained as to how to run a good water enterprise and maintain the water systems, and 9,500 people in four poor communities now have access to clean drinking water in their own households.
