GRUNDFOS FOUNDATION WATER & DEVELOPMENT WATER & DEVELOPMENT The world needs clean drinking water Since Poul Due Jensen built his first pump in 1945, Grundfos has been a pioneer in providing innovative and sustainable water solutions. The Foundation understands water as a fundamental prerequisite for human development and quality of life, and providing access to water reduces inequality and societal improvement. Our aspiration is to increase societal resilience in relation to water challenges and the accelerating effects of climate change for people living in places where water is a challenge.
