Our way to help protect our planet

Sustainability: Our greatest concern and your best argument

Water is life and our passion. That’s why we’re doing everything we can to protect this precious resource: with water- and energy-saving showers, faucets, and technologies. Their production and disposal also have an impact on the climate and resource cycles of our planet, for which we take responsibility. And your customers? You can take joy in helping them save. 

Green. Greener. Eco* 2030.

“By 2030, we aim to convert our entire water-bearing product range in the hansgrohe and AXOR brands to water and energy-saving technologies. In the future, they will need to be part of every energy-efficient refurbishment and new build. We are committed wherever there is a need to turn emissions-relevant adjusting screws together in the bathroom and kitchen sector.” 

Hans Jürgen Kalmbach
Chairman of the Executive Board of Hansgrohe SE 


* The Hansgrohe Group defines “ECO” as the reduction of water and/or energy consumption of water-bearing products in use by at least 22 percent compared to the base year 2020.

Hansgrohe makes water-bearing products climate-friendly.
Green. Greener. Eco 2030 is the Hansgrohe Group’s lighthouse project. Under the leadership of Hans Jürgen Kalmbach, we are equipping all water-bearing products to be climate-friendly.

Our path to the green transformation

Less hot water, fewer CO2 emissions

The use phase of a hand shower is by far the most carbon-intensive: roughly 1,000 times more CO2 is emitted here than during production. That is why we have made it our mission to design sustainable product solutions that combine water- and energy-saving technologies such as EcoSmart and CoolStart with a unique water experience. In line with our brand DNA, we aim to take responsibility for people, the environment, and the planet.

Get to know our water- and energy-saving technologies

At Hansgrohe, outstanding design and resource conservation go hand in hand. With our EcoSmart (since 2007) and CoolStart (since 2012) technologies, consumers have been saving water and energy for many years – day after day. And we have set even more ambitious environmental goals for ourselves for the future.

Compared to conventional hansgrohe showers, which use an average of 15 l/min, showers with EcoSmart reduce water consumption by up to 40%, and those with EcoSmart+ by up to 60%.

CoolStart faucets are climate-friendly. When the handle is in the center position, only cold water flows. If you really need hot water, simply move the lever on the CoolStart faucet to the left.
