Demonstrates Ongoing Commitment to Protecting
and Conserving Water; Social Investments and Philanthropy Reach
$7.7 Million During the Year
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (NYSE: ZWS) today
published its 2023 Sustainability Report, which outlines how
the pure-play water company continues to advance its sustainability
initiatives. Zurn Elkay’s role as a water steward is especially
critical today—as the world contends with water-related crises from
flooding and droughts to pollution, biodiversity loss and aging
infrastructure that can contaminate water supplies.
The Zurn Elkay 2023 Sustainability Report highlights progress
against nearly two dozen existing timebound targets focused on
improving supplier diversity, air emissions, waste reduction,
plastic bottle elimination, greenhouse gas emissions, energy
consumption, employee engagement and much more. In addition, the
company establishes new targets for air emissions, employee
training and waste reduction to provide even greater transparency
and accountability. Zurn Elkay also expanded its disclosures this
year with the inclusion of additional material Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI) key performance indicators, an expanded Task Force
on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) index and a
detailed ESG Performance Data Index presenting three years of data
where available.
“Sustainability is inherently linked to our business, and no
discussion of sustainability is complete without addressing how we
will protect, conserve and manage clean water,” said Todd A.
Adams, Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Chairman and CEO. “This
report demonstrates how sustainability and water are fundamental to
our business strategy, our people and our communities. Our focus is
guided by our commitment to simply Do the Right Thing.”
Central to this year’s report is a section dedicated to how Zurn
Elkay’s products help its customers meet their own sustainability
goals while making water safer and more sustainable in venues
visited by millions of people every day – airports, arenas,
hospitals, office buildings, college campuses and schools. Notably,
the company’s Elkay filtered bottle-filling stations, water
fountains and faucets are certified to reduce both lead and
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid
(PFOS) compounds, two of the most prevalent per- and
polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) chemicals, also known as forever
chemicals.
Product Donations Help Provide Safer Drinking Water for
School Children
Zurn Elkay’s support of communities is integral to its overall
environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy. During 2023,
Zurn Elkay donated $7.7 million in cash or product donations and
employees volunteered 5,366 hours. To address lead in drinking
water head-on, Zurn Elkay’s Fountains for Youth program focuses on
donating filtered bottle filling stations, water fountains, faucets
and filters to school districts in areas where lead levels are high
and resources are low. In 2023, Zurn Elkay donated 5,732 products
including filling stations, filters, faucets, flush valves and
other accessories to 10 school systems.
