Optimizing acoustics with stone wool ceilings

 Aligned values, shared vision

This construction, in addition to its manufacturing energy- and water-efficient pumping solutions, underscores Grundfos support for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (U.N. SDGs). Water affects 15 of the 17 U.N. SDGs. In particular, the company’s worldwide operations strive to make a difference in SDG 6, clean water and sanitation, and SDG 13, climate action.
This focus also allows Grundfos to help other companies be more sustainable and reach the SDGs together.

Like Grundfos, some of the product manufacturers involved in its new Texas-based regional headquarters share a commitment to the U.N. SDGs. In addition, at least one company joins Grundfos as a participant in the U.N. Global Compact, upholding 10 principles in the areas of human rights, labor, anti-corruption, and the environment.

Grundfos and its partners also join with companies worldwide in leading the zero-carbon transition by setting emissions reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Science-based targets provide companies with a clearly defined path to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals.
