For Wilo, the award follows on directly from their assessment by EcoVadis: just a few weeks ago, the rating agency awarded the Group the platinum medal for the fourth time in a row and rated its commitment to sustainability as “outstanding”.

“We are honoured to receive the German Sustainability Award 2026, but it also places us under an obligation,” explains Oliver Hermes, President & Global CEO of the Wilo Group. “As a pioneer in water technology, we believe it is our mission to drive forward sustainable transformation. The award is proof that we are on the right track and it motivates us to further expand our commitment to sustainability.” According to Oliver Hermes, the multinational group will continue to consistently implement its overarching sustainability strategy.

Peter Glauner, Regional CEO & CSO of Wilo Europe, says: “Our highly efficient and resilient water technologies, including pumps and pump systems, undoubtedly feature among the key factors for a sustainable future. We see the German Sustainability Award as a recognition of this and the fact that our products, systems and solutions play an important role in dealing with global megatrends.”

With WATER AI – a key element of Wilo’s corporate strategy – the Group is bringing this vision into the digital & AI age. “We are enabling the AI value chain, implementing AI in our products, systems and solutions, and integrating AI into our daily work, all without losing sight of the value of people”, Oliver Hermes adds. “This human-centred approach makes the technology a real driver of corporate sustainability.”

Wilo was awarded the DNP in the “Climate” transformation field back in 2021 in recognition of being one of the first industrial companies to consistently promote sustainability as part of its business model. Together with the German Sustainability Award Foundation, Wilo presented the International German Sustainability Award in 2023 and 2024. This award honours successful partnerships between companies from Germany and the Global South.

The German Sustainability Award is one of the most prestigious sustainability awards in Germany and is presented in cooperation with PwC, the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) and the WWF.
