Business Wire
Zurn Water Solutions Corporation (NYSE: ZWS) published today its
2021 Sustainability Report, which is the first report as a
pure-play water company. The report details newly set time-bound
goals and targets across 5 critical focus areas including a
commitment to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions Intensity by 50 percent by 2030.
The report uses the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board
(SASB) and select Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards to
report Zurn Water Solutions’ environmental, social and governance
(ESG) strategies and performance for the year. The company has also
updated its Sustainability website to highlight its ongoing work to
empower and protect people, communities and the planet. This
follows the announcement that Zurn Water Solutions joined the
United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in December 2021.
“Doing the Right Thing has long been one of our guiding
principles; becoming a pure-play water management company only
strengthens our ability to grow both as a water business and as a
leader in sustainability,” said Todd A. Adams, Chairman and CEO of
Zurn Water Solutions. “Effective, safe and efficient water
management is an essential component of sustainability. For more
than a century, we’ve developed solutions that help manage this
most-important natural resource – water. We also design products
that reduce energy consumption, conserve water and help to protect
human health.”
“As an inherently ESG-centric company, we lead and operate with
ESG as one of our guiding principles,” said David C. Longren, Zurn
Water Solutions Board Member and Chair of the ESG Committee. “It is
embedded in all aspects of the business from our strategic planning
to our day-to-day efforts. ESG is a key part of our core values and
the foundation of the company’s culture.”
Zurn Water Solutions Launches “Waves” – Employee-Led Social
Impact Fund
Zurn Water Solutions is pleased to announce the launch of Waves
- an associate-led Social Impact Fund. Waves provides financing and
resources for innovative employee ideas that help Zurn Water
Solutions advance its ESG initiatives.
“We believe the best and most innovative ideas come from those
who are most engaged in our mission and enabled to make an impact,”
said Adams. “We have created a platform for our employees to submit
ideas on how we can be better. The Zurn Water Solutions Social
Impact Fund is intended to unleash and fully support the best and
most transformative employee ideas; ideas that advance our
environmental, employee wellness and engagement, volunteerism, and
philanthropic efforts. In the process, it will also provide
development opportunities for employees across the organization to
lead and manage these projects.”
