Social Impact
It is about safeguarding the living conditions of nature and society.
The Wilo Group uses its influence, resources and knowledge to address social issues constructively. The aim is to promote sustainable development and thus social change in order to achieve a sustainable and livable society in the long term.
The Wilo Group participates in the UN Global Compact Network. We contribute to the solution of global challenges and are committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Seven of the 17 SDGs are particularly relevant to Wilo:

SDG 8
SDG 9

SDG 11
SDG 12
SDG 12
Responsible consumption and production:
The world’s population is currently consuming more resources than its ecosystems can provide. Wilo works resource-efficiently and supports initiatives to promote the circular economy. Wilo is continuously reducing its use of primary raw materials by expanding its infrastructure for the returning and recycling of old products.
SDG 13
SDG 17
SDG 17
The only way to achieve the sustainability goals is by working together. Companies, governments and other organisation will have to cooperate in order to increase the leverage of their respective contributions. For Wilo, partnerships are an essential function of business success. The expertise gained in working with networks is also used in cooperation on sustainable topics.
