We protect people from water and water from people
ACO has been developing products that serve water quality since it was founded in 1946. Over the years we gradually arrived at our motto "ACO. we care for water": a maxim we take literally. Along the way, we rely on transparent processes in comprehensible steps. We work every day to make our systems more sustainable: with innovative, recyclable and durable materials and resource-saving production.
“If we want future generations to enjoy the same water and natural landscapes we love, we need to build sustainably. Our WaterCycle-based concepts collect, clean, hold, and reuse water, protecting communities and nature itself.”
UNESCO and the UN WFEO
UNESCO and the UN WFEO (UN World Federation of Engineering Organisations) have selected ACO as an ambassador for the sixth UN Sustainable Development Goal "Clean Water and Sanitation" as part of the UNESCO anniversary year 2025. This co-operation underlines our global commitment to make every project part of the ACO WaterCycle and thus itself an ambassador for sustainable water management.
Ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
With the 2030 Agenda ("Transforming our world: the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development"), UNESCO has set itself the goal of achieving sustainable development worldwide. The 17 SDGs and their 169 goals are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda, which were defined by the United Nations (UN). They cover a broad spectrum of social, environmental and economic issues. The aim is for all UN member states to achieve the desired changes by 2030.
