Grohe AG wins the CSR Award of the German Federal Government

Grohe AG, the world's leading provider of sanitary fittings, received the CSR Award of the German Federal Government 2017 in the "companies with 1000+ employees" category recently. The decision by the eleven expert judges expressly lauded the role taken by GROHE's management team who have made sustainability a top management issue, acting as role models and trailblazers both for their own workforce and for other companies. The award was presented by Professor Josef Wieland, juror and expert in business ethics at Zeppelin Universität in Friedrichshafen.

"Sustainability is our passion and remains deeply rooted in our DNA. We are delighted to see the world around us acknowledge our enthusiasm for, and commitment to, corporate social responsibility (CSR). Seeing our policies being accepted as a standard of reference for our industry and inspiring others as well, we feel vindicated and honoured at the same time," said Grohe AG CEO Michael Rauterkus when receiving the award at the event in Berlin's Humboldt Carré.

According to a study conducted at Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen, GROHE Blue Home contributes approximately 60% less to a household's carbon footprint compared to conventional bottled water.
