Making a sustainable
business of sustainability
Grundfos
Pump manufacturer Grundfos has faced up to its role in industrial energy overconsumption
and the resulting CO
2
emissions. The company’s response has been to rehabilitate its
products from being energy offenders to becoming a genuine part of the solution. In the
spirit of the Global Compact, Grundfos has also taken an active role in advocating the
role of business in promoting greater environmental responsibility and developing
environmentally-friendly technologies
