Mar 22, 2012 10:00 AM

On the occasion of the World Water Day, Georg Fischer reaffirmed today its strong commitment to its Clean Water Foundation.

Since its creation in 2002, the Clean Water Foundation of Georg Fischer has financed almost 100 water supply projects bringing access to clean drinking water to 200,000 people in 50 countries. During the last ten years, more than CHF 7 million has been invested in Clean Water projects. All the international projects are carried out with carefully selected partners. In 2011, the board of trustees approved eleven new projects for an amount of about CHF 700,000. 

“We at Georg Fischer will continue to support the Clean Water Foundation because the issue of water availability touches us all and because, as specialists in this sector, we are in a position to offer a meaningful contribution”, says Yves Serra, CEO of Georg Fischer.
