Wilo Group intensifies cooperation with global water NGO The Water Council

Svenja Ahlburg, Regional CSO of Wilo Americas, is a new member of the initiative’s Executive Board

Milwaukee – The Wilo Group has been a member of The Water Council since 2024. The cooperation between the multinational technology group and the global water initiative is based on similar interests and values. To further deepen the partnership, Svenja Ahlburg (31), Regional CSO of Wilo Americas, has now been appointed to the initiative’s Executive Board.

“Global water shortage is a problem that is still underestimated in the public perception”, explains Oliver Hermes, President & CEO of the Wilo Group. “We are convinced that the Water Council is a powerful initiative that raises awareness of this problem. As part of the network, we are emphasising our claim to leadership in the field of sustainable water solutions – and making a real difference.”

Wilo’s involvement in the NGO The Water Council is derived directly from the Wilo Group’s overarching, Group-wide sustainability strategy. With the “Connecting” impact area, Wilo has committed itself to investing in strong partnerships worldwide. “We can only meet the major challenges of our time by joining forces with others and incorporating a wide range of perspectives”, continues Hermes.

Ahlburg’s appointment to the initiative’s Executive Board takes the still-young partnership to a new level. “I will work to raise awareness of urgent issues relating to water availability, quality and use while building bridges between the public sector, industry and science”, says Ahlburg.
