Megatrend: Human Centricity
This article feautures
For a future that serves people.
In the digital and AI era, the need for personal contact is growing. Despite technological progress, values such as empathy, closeness, and authenticity are increasingly coming to the fore — a counterbalance to the ongoing digitalisation and automation of our daily lives. At Wilo, our priority is not products, systems, or solutions, but the people for whom we develop them — and the people who develop them. Whether customers, employees, partners, or society as a whole: our daily actions are people-centred. Only those who put people at the heart of what they do can achieve sustainable impact.
Part of Our DNA
The future is not only digital; it is human-digital. In an increasingly automated world, companies need to lead with commitment. For us, the megatrend “People at the Center” means:
Seeing people as the starting point of every development.
Designing technology with empathy.
Making decisions with social impact in mind.
Connecting economic success with social progress.
Pioneering for You – our guiding principle sums it up: We lead the way.
With Commitment, Vision, and Responsibility
Whether customer, employee, applicant, or partner – you are at the center with us. Every day, we work to align our corporate actions so that people remain the focus – sustainably, cooperatively, and with dignity.
Because only together can we create real impact – with impact for all.
Human-Centered Innovation
We develop smart solutions that make life easier, not more complicated. Our products and systems are intuitive, connected, efficient – and always designed to create real value for people. Whether through energy savings, easy installation, or intelligent control: our technologies serve not themselves but the people who work with or benefit from them.
Our Employees – The Heart of Our Success
At Wilo, over 9,000 people work worldwide – they are not just part of the company, they are the company. That is why we create a work environment based on trust, appreciation, and personal development:
Lived diversity & inclusion
Health promotion & work-life balance
Individual career paths & further education
Modern workplaces & flexible working models
We listen, learn from each other, and grow together – as a team, as an organization, as a global network.
Responsibility for Society & Quality of Life
Our focus on people does not stop at the factory gates. As a global company, we take responsibility for the societies in which we operate:
We advocate for fair working conditions throughout our supply chain.
We promote education, equal opportunities, and local development in many regions worldwide.
We invest in technologies that improve access to clean water and sanitation.
We commit to fair wages – with concrete goals and measurable standards.
Because technology should not only be efficient – it should be meaningful.
