Save water – a tip that is often overused yet underplayed. Water preservation has been an ongoing global discussion for years, and while the situation is different for every community across the world, more and more people have been facing water shortages due to pollution, climate change, industrial agricultural practices, unsustainable energy production, and population growth. According to the World Health Organization’s health and sanitation fact sheet, this has left the world with almost two billion people lacking basic sanitation and over 800,000 people facing life-threatening illnesses caused by consuming unsafe drinking water.
With that in mind, there is a growing responsibility for private companies to drive the conversation, identify solutions and contribute to bettering the communities they operate in – and that is where GROHE has stepped in.
A Commitment Towards Healthcare in Egypt
GROHE’s development and sustainability efforts are at the heart of what it does, showcasing its dedication to creating water efficient solutions through its sustainability initiatives. To rise to these challenges, GROHE launched “Green Hospital” – a project that looks to install water saving faucets in order to reduce water consumption and costs at hospitals located in several governorates across Egypt.
As one of the most pressing health issues in Egypt, GROHE partnered with Egypt’s General Authority for Healthcare with the aim of improving healthcare systems and reducing the water consumption of medical institutions by 30 percent, while also reducing the risk of disease transmission by providing clean water right from the tap.
The first phase of this project was launched on September 8, 2021 and included installations in three hospitals in Port Said, namely El Hayah, El Zohoor and El Ramad.
A Game Changer for Water Efficient Solutions
Passionate about quality, technology, design and sustainability, GROHE considers water as the basis for life and this drives it to create innovative solutions. With the launch of “Green Hospital”, GROHE showcased a product line consisting of advanced water saving technologies, namely Bau Cosmopolitan, Bau Edge and Tempesta Cosmopolitan products. These products aim to not only provide clean water, but most importantly, they also raise awareness on the importance of water conservation and encourage communities and institutions to revaluate their consumption habits.
For a Sustainable Future
As a responsible member of the community, GROHE is committed to creating smart solutions that focus on resource consumption, aiming to reduce water abstraction, greenhouse gas emissions and increase water-saving technology. This goes to show the brand’s continuous efforts to use its expertise to re-shape the future of sustainability.
