Three times around the world
The Endress+Hauser employees’ ambitious goal was to circumnavigate the world through physical activities such as running, swimming, cycling and hiking. This goal was reached within only five weeks during the 70th anniversary of the company’s founding. In the end, in pure mathematical terms, the Endress+Hauser employees actually circumnavigated the globe more than three times, with 622 participants from 20 countries covering an impressive total of 133,049 kilometers.

Three water houses for Vietnam
The donations from the anniversary component of the Endress+Hauser Water Challenge went to two projects in Kon Tum, a province in central Vietnam that is situated on the border of Laos and Cambodia. The funds made it possible to construct two additional water houses. The first was built in 2022. The third water house was officially opened at the end of January, with the project management team from Endress+Hauser Vietnam working closely with those responsible at the local site. Three villages now have reliable access to clean drinking water, simplifying the lives of 2,500 people who live in this rural region, including more than 500 families.

Employees demonstrate team spirit
With the Water Challenge, Endress+Hauser is applying its business commitment to a safe, economical and environmentally friendly water supply to the non-profit sector. Employees around the world collect money via charity runs and other joint campaigns to ensure people have access to clean drinking water. The company matches each of the donations, with the proceeds going to select aid projects in Asia, South America and Africa.

Plans are in place to continue this success story in 2024. The goal of the next Water Challenge is to construct a water project in Bushbuckridge, South Africa.
