Our commitment
Water holds the key to a sustainable future. It creates and sustains the ecosystems on which all life depends. That is why the GF Water Foundation — formerly Clean Water Foundation — works to protect and ensure access to safe water for the long-term health and prosperity of people and our planet.
The GF Water Foundation was established in the Canton of Schaffhausen in 2002. It is governed by its Board of Trustees and supervised by the Schaffhausen Office of Justice and Communities.
In the same year, GF shareholders waived their bicentenary dividend to create a foundation aimed at improving lives through development projects worldwide.
Furthermore, GF employees volunteer their time and expertise to support our mission as Ambassadors of the Foundation.
