For a company that follows a rigourous sustainability strategy, efficient circulation of raw materials and components is one of the most urgent tasks. The basic principle of sustainability envisages that if the needs of everyone on our planet are met, there are no negative effects for subsequent generations. For Wilo, as a manufacturer of pumps and pump systems, sustainability has a broader significance. By commiting ourselves to the principles of sustainable business, we strengthen our competitiveness and thus ensure the future of our company. Numerous accolades and prizes tell us that we are on the right track: the environment award from the German Industry Association in 2000, the 3rd prize in the waste utilisation and recycling category, the environment prize from Dortmund for the development of the energy-saving Wilo-Stratos high-efficiency pump, the 1st prize for the contribution made to the CO2 reduction...

All these accolades are reassring and, at the same time, a great incentive for the future to continue resolutely along the route we have adopted. We are aware of the great challenge involved in integrating all the necessary ecological and social elements.
