**Milwaukee, WI, April 12, 2022 – **The Water Council is pleased to announce Sloan,

“Water is [earth’s](https://greenlivingguy.com/2015/04/earth-day-2015-innovations-in-water-technology/)
most precious resource, and it’s important to understand and prioritize our water
risks and shared water challenges in order to become better stewards,” said Patrick
Boyle, Sloan director of sustainability. “Sloan’s historic partnership with The 
Water Council’s WAVE [program provides us with an exciting opportunity](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/08/georgia-solar-program-terminated-a-lost-opportunity/)
to lead by example by communicating our corporate water stewardship efforts.”

The Water Council is a nonprofit which works for freshwater innovation. It helps
companies of all sizes and industries improve water stewardship. It created the 
WAVE program to help businesses anywhere in the world address water on an enterprise
level, [moving](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/09/how-to-move-houses-sustainably-tips-on-eco-friendly-moving/)
beyond non-contextual water management targets to develop meaningful strategies,
goals and actions. 

## WAVE

Through WAVE, participating companies learn about their water uses, impacts and 
risks; approve a corporate water stewardship policy; prioritize sites where water
in relation to risks can be mitigated; and communicate a corporate action plan, 
goals and timeline. Their efforts are then independently verified by SCS Global 
Services, an international leader in third-party sustainability verification. Verified
companies can confidently state they are credibly and strategically addressing water
challenges and opportunities where it matters most.

“Sloan is a market leader and global influencer when it comes to sustainability.
We’re proud to welcome them as the first official WAVE client,” said Dean Amhaus,
The Water Council president and CEO. “We designed WAVE to benefit a variety of companies,
whether you’re just starting on your water stewardship journey or already addressing
water risks like Sloan.”

As a water technology company, Sloan has prioritized [water stewardship and sustainability](https://greenlivingguy.com/2015/02/keurig-sustainability-efforts-in-water-stewardship/)
since its founding in 1906. The company joined The Water Council in 2011. Moreover,
by 2021, it certified its Franklin Park headquarters to the International Water 
Stewardship Standard. Participation in WAVE will help Sloan expand on that work 
and strategically address water [stewardship](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/04/fresh-water-global-demand-to-outstrip-supply-by-2030/)
across all its sites and its supply chain.

Prior to WAVE’s launch in February, The [Water Council pilot tested](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/07/responsibility-over-profitability-for-coliform-water-testing/)
the program with A. O. Smith Corporation, Badger Meter, Nutrien and Watts Water 
Technologies.
