Zurn Elkay Water Solutions has been named one of the World’s Greenest Companies 2026 by Newsweek and Plant‑A Insights Group, a first‑time honor for the Milwaukee‑based water management company.

He noted that the recognition is especially meaningful for the company’s 2,600 associates worldwide, who are driving continuous improvement across products and operations.
A Rigorous Global Evaluation of Environmental Performance

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Water usage
Waste generation
Sustainability data disclosure and commitments
The methodology, developed by GIST Impact and Plant‑A Insights Group, is designed to identify companies making measurable progress toward reducing environmental impact while increasing transparency. Zurn Elkay’s inclusion signals strong performance across these categories.
