The past financial year saw Wilo consistently develop its sustainability strategy and reach important milestones – in the decarbonisation of our production, the implementation of the circular economy and in AI-powered skills development and global health management.
Around the world, Wilo employees advocate every day for translating sustainability into concrete results. They develop resource-saving products, systems and solutions, connect people and knowledge, drive the circular economy ahead and make water accessible for more people. Seven of them share their insights here what motivates them.
With a comprehensive AI training initiative, Wilo is strengthening the digital skills of the workforce: in addition to company-wide “AI Literacy Training”, 650 employees were taught about advanced learning paths, best practices and Q&A formats. Moreover, 150 employees learned how they can develop their own AI agents for Wilo.
Wilo further reduced its scope 1 and scope 2 emissions in 2025, achieving a 40 percent drop from the base year. This result underlines the effectiveness of our climate change mitigation actions and marks an important step forward on the path to decarbonisation.
Targeted sustainabilitymtraining enables Wilo to strengthen responsibility along the supply chain: over 140 suppliers received tailor-made on-site and online training in order to raise awareness about human rights risks, sustainability standards and climate-related challenges.
For the first time, all global Wilo main production sites were completely carbon-compensated in 2025. We are thus reaching a key milestone in our climate strategy, carrying out climate-friendly production worldwide and offsetting remaining emissions.
Wilo sent a strong signal for global water security through its participation at the 80th meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. The company raised the relevance of SDG 6 in multilateral dialogues, reinforcing the international water agenda.
Wilo continues to develop activities to promote the circular economy and is implementing an explicit global circularity strategy to conserve resources. The number of used pumps returned through the Take Back programme increased to 152 tonnes.
Thanks to its outstanding climate transparency, the Wilo Group is among the top 4 percent of the roughly 20,000 companies rated by the Carbon Disclosure Project. We have consequently been included in the Climate category in the prestigious CDP “A List”.
With the new Health Cube and a global partnership with BASF, Wilo is strengthening its Group-wide health management. The modern health center at the Wilopark forms the international hub and cornerstone for prevention, medical care and mental health.
“We are excited to improve people’s quality of life. That’s why our commitment to sustainability is an integral element of all the company’s activities. Together, we drive innovations and take responsibility so that we can continually increase the positive impact we have on the environment and society.”
“We are firmly believe that recycling belongs in the hands of manufacturers. Only they can conserve resources to the maximum through circular economy activities. Taking back used pumps, recycling rare earths and implementing other circular processes all make up our day-to-day operations. My credo is: avoid and use has to come before recycle and dispose of!”
“I am compassionate about connecting people and organisations so that we can push ahead with projects for sustainable development. I initiate and coordinate training courses and events, strengthen exchanges with experts and institutions and translate technical solutions into clear communications. This is how visible impacts and long-term benefits are created for the region: locally embedded, globally connected.”
“Our goal is to connect quality standards with sustainability targets in order to set up our locations in the US so that they are robust, safe and conserve resources. We embed integrated management systems and reinforce continuous improvement in production and processes. This ensures that our locations are fit for the future, because quality makes infrastructure sustainable.”
“As R&D Director, I design the next generation of sustainable solutions. We translate urban requirements into robust, resourcesaving products, set platform standards and scale innovation all the way up to production. This means our solutions are efficient and have a long service life and are ready for the megacities of the future, because innovative products build sustainable cities: efficient, durable, connected.”
“In my role as energy manager, I drive the transformation at Wilo to efficient, digital and climateneutral locations. Our focus lies in installing transparent and networked monitoring systems in order to control our CO2 management using reliable energy data. This is how we generate noticeable efficiency gains with fewer resources and more impact.”
“As Head of Global Health Management at Wilo, I develop the strategic focus of the company’s health management at the global level. We develop and embed targeted campaigns, objectives and guidelines around the world in order to reinforce healthy, safe and sustainable work over the long term at all our locations.”
