    • GROHE, the world's leading supplier of sanitary fittings, has published its second sustainability report, providing information on the economic, environmental and social impact of its business operations in 2015/2016
    • GROHE Blue provides sparkling, medium sparkling and still water that is filtered and chilled directly from the kitchen tap. Based on the EU average, this can help a family of four save 600 plastic bottles a year. In addition, a study conducted by the German University of Göttingen showed that the system saves more than 60 percent of CO2 emissions compared to bottled water.
    • The GROHE Sense and GROHE Sense Guard water security system is a digital solution designed to reveal undetected leaks – which cause 10 percent of private water consumption – and to shut off the water supply immediately in the event of a burst pipe.
    • GROHE EcoJoy faucets reduce water consumption thanks to flow restrictors from ten litres per minute to just over five litres. Thus, a family of four can save more than 30,000 litres of water per year and reduces CO2 emissions by more than 180 kilograms.
    • The GROHE Sensia Arena shower toilet cleans with water and saves toilet paper. This paper consumption is approximately 15 kilograms per person per year.
    • With SilkMove ES, the starting point of the lever at the middle only allows the inflow of cold water and prevents unnecessary hot water consumption. This ensures to save energy.
