GRUNDFOS CEO WATER MANDATE 2015 /3 – but the solutions are here Hundreds of millions of people without access to clean drinking water, droughts affecting productive farmlands, and flooding endangering inhabitants around the world: this is today’s reality. It is also why the World Economic Forum has once again named the global water crisis as the biggest threat facing the planet over the next decade. As a business, we have a responsibility to reduce our water consumption and think water wise. By 2025, our aim is to reduce our total water consumption by 50% compared to 2008 levels. In 2015, we reduced our water consumption by 2% compared to 2014. This gives us a total reduction of 34% compared to 2008 levels. In Grundfos, we believe that our responsibility goes beyond our own operations. We recognise the challenge the world is facing and we believe that collaboration is key to overcoming it. By providing sustainable water solutions such as wastewater treatment, better distribution of water, and providing access to clean drinking water, our customers are able to minimise their negative impact and even create a more positive impact. The Grundfos purpose states; “Grundfos is a global leader in advanced pump solutions and a trendsetter in water technology. We contribute to global sustainability by pioneering technologies that improve quality of life for people and care for the planet.” Working towards a positive impact lies deep within our existence and our purpose as a business. During COP21 in Paris, Grundfos was awarded the prestigious United Nations’ Momentum for Change Lighthouse Activity Award. This award shows that through intelligent and sustainable design solutions such as LifeLink Water Solutions, Grundfos can improve the quality of life for people in the developing world by providing them with clean water. Step-by-step and day-by-day, we take action to develop solutions that overcome the challenges the world is facing.
