FRANKLIN PARK, IL — Sloan, the world’s leading manufacturer of commercial plumbing systems, has completed reverification for The Water Council’s WAVE program.
Independently awarded by SCS Global Services—an international leader in third-party sustainability verification—the WAVE program’s reverification indicates that Sloan successfully maintained its two-year verification process, which assessed water-related risks across the enterprise, identified the highest water-related impacts using credible water-related data, and implemented best practices to improve water stewardship performance.
In 2022, Sloan was among the first companies to sign on to The Water Council’s WAVE program, an initiative designed to help companies improve, report, and verify their water stewardship progress. Kirk Allen, Sloan’s Co-President and CEO, is a longtime member of The Water Council’s Board of Directors.
“It was an honor to achieve verification from the WAVE program two years ago, while also an opportunity to continue making improvements in water-related risks across the enterprise,” said Paul Sambanis, Sloan’s Vice President of Sustainability. “This reverification is another important step in Sloan’s sustainability journey and will only help to further our efforts to address water challenges going forward.”
As part of the reverification process, Sloan identified additional actions and improvements to the wastewater system at its Franklin Park, Ill., headquarters, as well as several other water stewardship initiatives including:
- Installing submeters in areas of high-water usage
- Ensuring all sites have up-to-date and proper documentation for environmental, water-related, and stormwater management systems
- Participating in the WASH4WORK pledge
- Implementing water reuse policies to reduce water consumption on site
- Engaging in activities and working with local stakeholders to preserve and improve local water quality
- Highlighting water reuse and other practices on its website and public platforms
Sloan concentrates its water efforts on three key areas: designing innovative and water-efficient products, monitoring and conserving water in its operations, and promoting water stewardship with its stakeholders. One example of these efforts is through Sloan’s Foundry, where evaporative condenser cooling towers are installed to make use of recycled water, reclaiming approximately 18 million gallons of water each year.
