Our Commitment to Sustainability
Throughout 2024, we celebrated our 150th anniversary by reaffirming our commitment for the future: to improve comfort, safety, and quality of life for people around the world through our expertise in a wide range of water technologies and to be the best in the eyes of our employees, customers, and shareholders.
As we meet the demands of a modern and rapidly evolving landscape, we ground these commitments in three core principles: safety and regulation, water conservation, and energy efficiency. Our “triple play” strategy results in solutions that not only ensure the safe and proper management of water, but also reduce our environmental impact.
In 2024, we introduced Nexa, an intelligent water management solution for commercial buildings that supports customers in the safe, efficient, and sustainable delivery of water while enabling significant cost savings. It’s the latest example of how our Smart & Connected portfolio is bringing unprecedented insights and value to our customers, shareholders, and the environment.
As we’ve grown our portfolio, we’ve also made measurable progress in reducing our environmental footprint. In recent years, we’ve significantly reduced water and emissions intensity across our operations — surpassing our first-generation footprint goals well ahead of schedule. These results are a testament to the dedication of teams across Watts who are embedding sustainability into how we innovate, operate, and serve our customers.
Our legacy is not just one of innovation, sustainability, and reliability, but also of compassion and community. Around the world, we seek to positively impact the people connected to our business, including our employees, customers, supply chain partners, and neighbors. In 2024, we introduced the Watts Cares volunteer program, a resounding success with colleagues from more than 40 sites giving their time, expertise, and passion to more than 50 different organizations within their communities and beyond.
From product innovation to volunteerism, our people are advancing a unified vision for positive impact, and our progress is driven by collaboration across our global teams. We know our success for the next 150 years will depend not only on what we deliver, but how we deliver it — with integrity, innovation, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
To those who have been with us for decades, and those who have recently joined us on our journey — we thank you. Your trust in Watts has been invaluable to our success, as has your shared belief in our vision for a world where water is safeguarded for all. Together, we have achieved so much, and we are confident that the best is yet to come.
“Everything we design is made to keep the Earth’s most precious resource safer, cleaner, and more useful for our customers”
