Grundfos LIFELINK's sustainable solution honoured at Rio+20
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Grundfos is proud to announce that Grundfos LIFELINK has been chosen for
Sustainia 100, a prestigious list of sustainable solutions to the world's
environmental challenges, selected by a prominent board including Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Gro Harlem Brundtland.
- This nomination makes it clear that there is a space for companies like
Grundfos LIFELINK, who focus on long term sustainability and water security
through the use of innovative technology. Reliable access to clean water is one
of the first steps out of poverty, and therefore, Grundfos LIFELINK's solutions
can provide the basis for sustainable development for some of the poorest people
in the world, Peter Todbjerg Hansen, Managing Director of Grundfos LIFELINK
says.
The Grundfos LIFELINK system is specifically designed for providing sustainable
supply of clean water in rural and urban areas in the developing world. The
solution consists of proven pump technology driven by solar energy, and an
innovative service platform with an automatic payment system and remote
monitoring. Since 2009, Grundfos LIFELINK has been operating in Kenya providing
access to clean water for nearly 100,000 people. Now, the company is expanding
operations across Africa and Asia.
- I am very excited and inspired by this as it makes it absolutely clear that
our mission is possible. That we do have the ammunition we need to tackle this
challenge. That we have what it takes to create fun and attractive societies
without destroying our planet, says Arnold Schwarzenegger, Honorary Chair of
Sustainia.
Recognizing the solutions at hand for sustainable societies
Gathered from 56 countries spread over six continents, Sustainia100 is a
complete guide to innovative and scalable solutions instrumental in creating
sustainable societies. Building on ready and available solutions only,
Sustainia100 is as a tangible tool for sustainability professionals - from
politicians to CEOs- dedicated to create desirable and sustainable societies.
- Securing the planet for future generations is a global collaborative task.
Sustainia100 demonstrates that since the first Earth Summit in 1992 solutions
and innovations to tackle this challenge have been developed all over the world.
We need to make more people aware of these solutions and inspire more to act.
With the Sustainia100 there is no excuse for not choosing a sustainable path to
the future. The solutions are there. Ready for use, Gro Harlem Brundtland,
former Prime Minister of Norway and Member of The Elders Team says.
