Hansgrohe Group

Sustainability is no longer just a reporting topic. It is becoming a key management driver. In a challenging market environment and amid rising regulatory requirements, our 2025 Sustainability Report shows how we are systematically embedding environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles across the company. What does this mean in practice? ▪️98 % renewable electricity in production ▪️Progress in international sustainability ratings ▪️Increased use of recyclable and circular materials in our packaging and products ▪️ A focus on water- and energy-efficient solutions For us, sustainability is not just an aspiration. We make it operational and measurable. At the same time, we continue to invest in our role as an employer. Learning and development, health, and family-friendliness remain key priorities. This is also reflected in a stable employee satisfaction rate of 81%. Another step forward: Although we are not required to report under CSRD until 2027, we are already aligning our processes with its requirements today. This enables us to increase transparency, strengthen our management capabilities, and prepare early for upcoming obligations. More information: https://lnkd.in/d5k4fibu

How it all began… Klaus Grohe is many things: entrepreneur, perfectionist, family man. But above all, he is one thing – tireless. Born in 1937, the third son of company founder Hans Grohe shaped the company like no other. With curiosity, drive and unconventional ideas, he leads Hansgrohe to international success. Klaus Grohe does not grow up in the Executive Board Room, but gains practical experience in production and internships abroad. Even during the holidays, he works in the workshop, tinkering and learning the craft from scratch. In 1968, he joined the company as head of organization. A short time later, he took over the sales management and focused on direct customer contact. His recipe for success: listening, understanding and acting.

How it all began… Hans Grohe Senior, his sons and grandsons have shaped the Hansgrohe company over many decades. Whether first-born, latecomer or the generation of grandchildren: they all have a decisive influence on the course of the company's history from a small craft business to a global player in the sanitary industry. On April 3, 1937, Klaus, the youngest son of the company founder, was born. He was destined for an entrepreneurial career from birth: From childhood, Klaus' life revolved around the company. He was self-taught, tinkered and experimented, and gained practical experience. He began his actual career at the company in 1968 at age 31. Klaus Grohe first took over management and became Chairman of the Board in 1977. Klaus' two eldest sons, Richard and Philippe, continued the family tradition: The founder’s grandchildren grew up with the company, learning the business from the ground up – not just in theory, but through daily experience in various areas.
