Grundfos, a global leader in advanced pump solutions and water technologies, has been named a winner of the 2023 Governor’s Texas Environmental Excellence Award in the Pollution Prevention category.

“It is an honor to be recognized by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for Grundfos’ commitment to environmental sustainability,” Ansell Sims, Grundfos U.S. president, said. “Our mission to provide safe water to every person, everywhere permeates everything we do, from the production of our innovative water pump technology to the design and construction of the buildings we work in and also the organizations we support. We designed the Brookshire building with the hope that it would inspire other companies to implement sustainability practices into their organizations in whatever way possible.”

Celebrating its 30th year, the Texas Environmental Excellence Awards is an annual awards program that recognizes environmental preservation and protection achievements. Since 1993, the program has honored more than 250 successful environmental projects and activities. Through the TEEA, TCEQ hopes to encourage others to initiate like-minded projects and reinforce a spirit of environmental stewardship.

“This year’s Texas Environmental Excellence Award winners each exemplify the unique ways they work to protect the Texas environment,” Susan Palachek, TEEA program coordinator, said. “We applaud Grundfos for winning the award in the Pollution Prevention category. The company’s investment in the Brookshire building with its energy savings and on-site solar generation, rainwater harvesting, and HVAC condensate capture demonstrate their leadership in sustainable operations and show that protecting the environment is good for business.”
