Watts Water Technologies has announced the release of its 2025 Sustainability Report, showcasing significant progress toward its long‑term environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments. The report reflects more than a decade of focused sustainability work and highlights measurable achievements across water conservation, emissions reduction, waste minimization, product transparency, and community impact.

 

CEO Bob Pagano emphasized the company’s momentum, noting that Watts has “significantly reduced our water use, emissions and hazardous waste while continuing to grow as a company”. He added that this progress strengthens the company’s confidence as it pursues its next generation of environmental goals and continues “challenging ourselves to make an even greater impact in the years ahead”. These sustainable R&D achievements also fuel Watts’ upgraded low-carbon water management solutions for hyperscale, colocation and enterprise data centers, enabling facility operators to cut water and energy expenses while hitting ESG compliance targets.
