Sustainability and Our Communities

The Company respects the global ecosystem and shares the environmental concern of the communities where associates live and work. This is exemplified in the Company’s long-standing tradition of incorporating environmental stewardship and safety considerations into all its activities. Recycling and energy conservation, waste minimalization, and water-reduction practices are integral business requirements. The Company’s products, services, manufacturing methods, and facilities incorporate safety and environmental management systems to ensure continuous improvement and measures to prevent pollution, protect health and safety, and enhance the environment.

The Company believes our best can always be better—better for the lives we touch, better for our communities, better for our planet, and better for business. The Company’s expertise in plumbing, sanitation, energy systems, hospitality, and manufacturing drives research and innovation to support the communities in which associates live and do business. Efforts are made to make the Company’s position known on issues affecting the Company, associates, shareholders, private sector, and our communities.

You are encouraged to connect with our communities, drive innovation to continue making a long-lasting impact, and submit new, innovative product and business opportunities through our internal processes.
