Q. HOW IS SUSTAINABILITY INFLUENCING PRODUCT INNOVATION AT CULLIGAN, AND WHAT ROLE DOES PRODUCT DESIGN PLAY IN ENABLING CUSTOMERS TO REDUCE THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT?
» Embedding sustainability into our business strategy allows us to anticipate changes, adapt quickly and continually improve our services and solutions. We always think of new ways to make it easier for people to love their water while doing what’ s right for the planet.
Our teams around the world work to ensure innovation never comes at the expense of the environment. We run ESG assessments on every new and updated Culligan product. We assess materials, energy use, circulatory and other aspects to ensure new and improved products through a sustainability lens. Across markets and teams, sustainability is not an initiative – it’ s a mindset that lets us grow responsibly.
This year, we launched our most advanced commercial product globally, Culligan Purity. It boasts advanced filtration technology to eliminate 99.9 % of contaminants in modern workplace water. And on the sustainability side of things, it eliminates the need for singleuse plastic water bottles in offices.
And beyond those advantages, it houses our new proprietary C Sense Technology, which lets our experts remotely monitor performance to reduce the number of service trips our technicians take – a simple but powerful way to lessen carbon emissions. And when we do make a service visit, 25 % of our global car fleet is electric.
Another notable innovation is a Culligan-installed drinking water filtration system, a great residential option that helps protect people from contaminants in their water at home. Not only does it reduce more than 99.9 % of contaminants in water, but households that use it also avoid almost 7,000 single-use plastic water bottles a year.
