The Wilo Group has once again reaffirmed its position as a leader in sustainable innovation, winning the German Sustainability Award (DNP) in the ‘Hydraulics, Pumps and Compressors’ category. This prestigious recognition underscores the multinational water technology company’s long-standing commitment to integrating sustainability into every layer of its operations—from design and production to global partnerships.
Sustainability Credentials Reinforced by EcoVadis Platinum Rating
The DNP win follows closely after another major achievement: Wilo received its fourth consecutive Platinum rating from EcoVadis, the world’s leading independent sustainability rating agency. EcoVadis described Wilo’s performance as “outstanding,” citing its excellence in environmental and social governance practices. Together, these honours affirm Wilo’s role as a frontrunner in sustainable industrial transformation.
Driving Sustainable Transformation Through Innovation
“We are honoured to receive the German Sustainability Award 2026, but it also places us under an obligation,” said Oliver Hermes, President and Global CEO of the Wilo Group. “As a pioneer in water technology, we see it as our mission to drive sustainable transformation. This award proves we are on the right path and inspires us to strengthen our commitment even further,” Hermes added.
Water Technologies for a Resilient Future
Peter Glauner, Regional CEO and CSO of Wilo Europe, emphasized, “Our highly efficient and resilient water technologies—especially our pumps and pump systems—are essential for sustainable progress. The German Sustainability Award recognises that our innovations help address global megatrends such as urbanisation, climate change, and water scarcity.”
AI at the Core of Sustainable Progress
A cornerstone of Wilo’s forward-looking strategy is its Water AI initiative, which integrates artificial intelligence into both products and operations. “We are enabling the AI value chain—embedding AI into our products, systems, and daily work—while ensuring that people remain central to every step,” Hermes added. This approach reflects Wilo’s belief that digitalisation and sustainability must advance together to create meaningful, lasting impact.
Partnerships Powering Purpose
As reported by worldpumps.com, the German Sustainability Award is organised in collaboration with PwC, the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), and WWF, bringing together some of the most influential voices in sustainable business. Wilo’s recognition among such distinguished partners further highlights its leadership in advancing water technology that supports both people and the planet.
