Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation has been named one of the World's Greenest Companies 2026 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. This marks the first time the company has appeared on this global list, which recognizes 850 companies for their environmental performance. Zurn Elkay is one of only 61 companies in its industry and one of only seven Wisconsin-based companies to receive this distinction in 2026.

The ranking is based on a comprehensive analysis of self-disclosed sustainability data from 8,000 companies. GIST Impact and Plant-A Insights Group conducted the assessment, evaluating public sustainability data across more than 25 parameters. The analysis covers four key categories of environmental performance: greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, waste generation, and sustainability data disclosure and commitments.

Todd A. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions, attributed the recognition to the company's focus on sustainable water solutions. "At Zurn Elkay, we're committed to delivering sustainable, innovative engineered water solutions that promote health and hydration, protect natural resources and keep people safe in a wide array of markets," Adams said. He noted that the company's 2,600 associates worldwide are gratified by the recognition for their efforts in protecting, conserving, and managing clean water through products and operations.

This recent accolade adds to Zurn Elkay's history of recognition by Newsweek. The company has previously been named to the lists of America's Greenest Companies for 2025-2026 and America's Most Responsible Companies for 2021-2026. Additionally, TIME has named Zurn Elkay one of the World's Best Companies for Sustainable Growth.
