We don’t claim what we can’t prove.

An overview of our awards, certifications, and memberships – and a reflection of how we work.

Awards and recognitions

At water, security isn’t something we do. It’s something we live. Our ambition is simple: to protect our customers as effectively as possible and to give everything it takes to make security work.

The awards and recognitions here are the result of that mindset. Independent confirmation of the standards we set for ourselves – and the responsibility we take for our customers’ security.
