how we work
Sustainability at Veralto
Sustainability is woven deeply into the fabric of Veralto. Our people, our companies, and our innovations support our customers as they address global challenges including water scarcity, environmental resource sustainability, management of severe weather events, food and pharmaceutical security, and the impact of an aging workforce.
From ensuring clean drinking water to reducing packaging waste, we help customers protect precious resources and keep our global water and food supply safe.
Safeguarding the world’s water
Our water quality companies help ensure the availability of clean drinking water while enabling customers to reduce water and energy consumption and protect our waterways. We are trusted partners to municipalities and industry, helping to ensure the quality of the water supply and advance their sustainability objectives.

Our progress and strategy
We are deeply aware of our responsibility to our stakeholders and the opportunities to make a difference through our innovative products, our positive impact on the planet, and our people, as reflected in our purpose: Safeguarding the World’s Most Vital Resources™.
To prepare for our launch as a standalone company, we conducted a sustainability prioritization assessment to identify our stakeholders’ sustainability priorities and inform our sustainability strategy. Based on our findings from conversations with investors, interviews and surveys with associates, and discussions with sustainability leaders from our customers, we organized our sustainability strategy around the three pillars of Products, Planet, and People.
The Veralto Enterprise System is a powerful toolset to help us execute our sustainability strategy and drive continuous improvement across energy consumption, water use, and other key sustainability metrics.
We are actively evaluating opportunities to increase our impact through collective actions such as sustainability-focused partnerships, initiatives, industry alliances, and grant-making opportunities.
