- Pentair Sustainability Strategic Targets
Pentair’s strategic targets are guided by our purpose to create a better world for people and the planet through smart, sustainable water solutions. Starting in 2025 we have new strategic targets which are focused on sustainability – our Sustainability Strategic Targets – in areas of water stewardship, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and product design for sustainability.
Pentair Sustainability Strategic Targets
Water Stewardship
- Restore 100% of the water volume withdrawn by Pentair manufacturing sites in high-water-stress areas annually.1
Our Strategy
- Maintain the progress we have made in reducing our water withdrawal
- Expand our water stewardship strategy to include positively impacting high-water-stress areas through restoration and replenishment activities
- Develop a nature strategy that supports our water stewardship efforts
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction
- Reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 60% by 2030 from our 2019 baseline.
Our Strategy
- Reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by an additional 10 percentage points from our already achieved target of 50% reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from our 2019 baseline
- Continue to assess our Scope 3 GHG emissions and publish our associated data
- Formalize a company-wide climate transition plan
Product Design for Sustainability
- Complete the sustainability scorecard2 for 100% of new products, aiming to improve scores and with a focus on energy and material efficiency.
Our Strategy
- Sustainability is essential to our business strategy as we recognize the opportunity for meaningful impact and growth is through solutions that help address the world’s water challenges
- Continue to use our product sustainability scorecard as part of our new product development process
- Continue to design energy-efficient products
- Develop material efficiency strategies for our products
- Evaluate opportunities to advance circular business practices
1"“High-water-stress areas” are defined as areas that have an Overall Water Risk score of 3 or higher in the World Resource Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool. Water restoration includes water restored into the same or other high-water-stress areas as Pentair withdrawal.
2The product sustainability scorecard has been updated in 2025 to increase weighting on GHG emissions reduction, energy efficiency, and material efficiency (previously called resource use efficiency), in addition to also considering the impact of water use and material health. The scorecard results are incorporated as part of new product design.
