“Through the GF Water Foundation, we empower vulnerable communities to create sustainable, long-term solutions that safeguard both their health and their future. Access to safe water is essential not only for survival, but also for the well-being of entire communities. As Head of Environment, Health and Safety at GF Piping Systems, my focus has always been on protecting people and the planet. By contributing to the GF Water Foundation, I am able to extend this mission globally, helping address the critical need for clean, safe water. I am personally committed to supporting the Foundation by offering my expertise, ideas, and network to advance its mission and ensure that clean water is available to those in need.”

"Water covers about 71% of our Earth’s surface and makes up 60% of the human body. It’s the one element binding us, society and nature, together into one indivisible ecosystem. Thus, water is the perfect metaphor for the Foundation: it stands for the ambition to understand the complex and interconnected challenges we are facing today and develop practical and impactful responses. As a sustainability professional this mission makes good sense to me and I’m excited to contribute to the ongoing work of the Foundation in a consulting role."

"Understanding how vital clean water is for everyone and seeing the challenges for those who don’t have access to it has changed my perspective. I've always been lucky to have clean water, but now I want to make sure others do too. I have supported the Foundation in examining employee volunteering framework and practices and I continue to be fully behind the GF Water Foundation. Safe water should be a right for everyone, not just a privilege for some."

"Personally, growing up and living in Switzerland always gave me the privilege to have access to safe water with one click. As individuals but also as an industrial company we have the responsibility to take care of this vital resource, water.

Together with my colleague, Phi Liebetrau, we have supported the development of an employee volunteering framework for the Foundation to engage with more employees in the future. I continue to be committed to supporting the GF Water Foundation in this area."

"As the Global PR Manager for GF Piping Systems, I am privileged to work daily with stories surrounding our most vital resource: water. Recognizing that access to safe drinking water remains a critical issue worldwide, I have been and am committed to supporting the GF Water Foundation in idea generation and networking.

Their efforts are crucial in addressing the challenges faced by those most vulnerable, particularly women and girls who are often deprived of education due to the necessity of fetching water for their families. This partnership aligns with our mission to improve lives through sustainable water solutions."

"As part of our GF Water Foundation's effort to further engage in the water projects we are already supporting, I had the chance to visit two project sites in Somaliland and Namibia. The goal was to assess how we, as GF's employees, can further contribute to the success of these projects through technical, physical or financial support. Being on site and seeing the urgent need for such sanitation projects further increased my desire to support the foundation's goals."

"The mission of the GF Water Foundation inspires me as a community relations manager, in which the heart of my work involves bringing together corporate impact for social good. As part of GF Building Flow Solutions, I am fortunate to be connecting more with the work of the foundation, especially as we are new to the GF family. GF Building Flow Solutions is excited to join in the GF Walk for Water initiative led by the foundation and help bring awareness to the global water crisis—something that can easily be taken for granted for those of us who live in places where clean water is readily available. I am proud to contribute to the GF Walk for Water events and look forward to engaging our colleagues in a good social cause."

"To raise awareness of the Water Foundation, communication and dissemination are two of the most important topics. I had the opportunity to creatively support the Water Foundation with my digital strengths as a mediamatician."
