How to preserve our planet’s resources by using innovative and sustainable water treatment
At BWT we are proud to be able to contribute with our sustainable technologies and products to preserve our planet’s most precious resource: water. Our slogan “For You and Planet Blue” perfectly expresses our mission and our recently defined “BWT Innovations4Future” Strategy – with (Plastic) Bottle Free Zones, Fuel Cell Membrane Technologies and the BWT Aqua Pearls For You & Planet Blue Foundation – which underlines our focus on sustainable products and solutions to change our plastic planet into planet blue again.
BWT has been elected along with 49 other international companies to participate in the “50 Sustainability & Climate Leaders” initiative, hosted by Bloomberg, the worldwide leading business and finance network, and the United Nations. This campaign uses inspiring documentary-style films to identify and celebrate the leading organizations and pioneers in their respective industries around the globe, who are recognizing the sustainable challenges we face on our planet.
Water is our elixir of life and one of the major challenges of the 21st century. Since its foundation in 1990 BWT’s mission is to ensure the highest level of safety, hygiene, health, and well-being in daily contact with water with economic and ecological water treatment technologies. Today, the Best Water Technology Group is Europe's leading water technology company. Around 5,000 employees work towards the goal of providing customers from private households, industry, commerce, hotels and municipalities with modern and sustainable treatment systems and service for drinking water, pharmaceutical and process water, heating water, boiler, cooling and air-conditioning water, and swimming pool water with optimum water quality for all areas of application - from the source to the leachate.

"For me fuel cell is not only the energy converter of the 21st century, it is also the most efficient solution to produce in the sustainable way energy and heat. It is our common responsibility to fight for this technology instead of the battery and I am proud that BWT Fumatech with its worldwide best performing membranes is able to contribute to the break-through of this sustainable energy converter and thus help to decarbonize our planet"
Andreas Weissenbacher, CEO, BWT
