FOREWORD
CEO Dr. Stephan Timmermann
The principle of sustainability is deeply rooted at KSB and represents one pillar of our corporate strategy. This important topic is an indispensable part of our business activities. We view sustainable living and working as a continuous process which is embedded in our daily interactions. This applies not only to our colleagues in production facilities, sales offices and administration, but also to our customers, suppliers and business partners.
By signing the UN Global Compact in 2010, we committed ourselves to aligning our business activities with ten universal principles. KSB supports the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. That is why our company defined nine global sustainability goals in 2019 which are based on these Sustainable Development Goals. We want to achieve these individual goals by 2025 at the latest.
Many of the targets are in some way connected to water. Our pumps, valves and services perform essential tasks including supplying people with clean drinking water,
protecting ecosystems and conserving valuable resources. These are just some of the sustainability activities covered in this magazine - and it is with great pleasure that I invite you to read on and discover more.
Enjoy the experience!
Yours,
Dr. Stephan Timmermann
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations are aimed at combining economic progress with social justice and environmental protection.

WATER
IS LIFE
Water is not just essential for sustaining human life. It is the habitat of numerous plants and animals. And it is a vital resource capable of providing clean energy. Sustainable water use is therefore a key challenge for the future.

PROTECT WATER
Wherever water is used, it must subsequently be cleaned. Only then can it be returned to the natural water cycle without polluting the environment. It is estimated that today only around 60 percent of waste water from households is recycled.
