As the world experiences increasing water challenges, Grundfos is taking the lead in raising awareness and inspiring change by partnering in an upcoming inspirational documentary that shows how technologies and innovations are changing how we manage water.

BJERRINGBRO, Denmark, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world comes together to honor Earth Day, Grundfos proudly unveils its partnership with Brave Blue World Studios and highlights its commitment to advancing water sustainability by taking part in the documentary 'Our Blue World: A Water Odyssey', which will be premiered in in New York City on April 22, 2024.

This important documentary follows the passionate individuals at the forefront of tackling the global water crisis, showcasing innovative solutions and advocating for a water-secure future.

A highlight of the documentary is a segment filmed in Burundi, Africa, showcasing the impactful work of Grundfos and NGO Amazi Water. Through combined efforts, Grundfos and Amazi Water transformed the lives and communities of over 2.5 million Burundians by ensuring access to clean water with solar-powered pumps; enabling children to attend school, families to cultivate crops, and fostering a healthier future for all.

Ulrik Gernow, Group EVP and COO of Grundfos said: "This partnership with Brave Blue World Studios reaffirms our dedication to addressing the world's water challenges and our ambition to mobilize a movement for a more sustainable and water-secure future for generations to come. As a society, we need to recognize that water holds incredible value for the future of our world but our relationship with water is out of balance and we aim to inspire change to take good care of this precious resource."

"Our Blue World: A Water Odyssey" builds upon the resounding success of the studio's debut documentary, "Brave Blue World: Racing to Solve Our Water Crisis," which was featured on Netflix and boasted renowned narrators like Liam Neeson, along with celebrities such as Matt Damon and Jaden Smith.

As Grundfos celebrates Earth Day, and our planet, the business is highlighting the urgency and importance of water sustainability by boldly declaring its commitment to safeguarding the world's most precious resource – water.
