Hansgrohe acts in an eco-friendly and sustainable way.

Water is life. Water is our passion. So we do all we can to protect this precious resource: with water- and energy-saving showers, taps, and technologies. Manufacturing and disposing of these products also impact our planet’s environmental and resource cycles – and we take responsibility for this. As for your customers, they love it when you help them to save.

Products with water- and energy-saving technologies are our central focus

“Our goal is to offer our water-bearing product range¹ from the hansgrohe and AXOR brands with water- or energy-saving technologies² by 2030.

In concrete terms, this means that, for the product ranges in our portfolio of water-bearing products, we offer water- and/or energy-saving versions that combine efficiency with water experiences and reduce the consumption of water and/or energy when in use.”

Hans Jürgen Kalmbach
Chairman of the Executive Board of Hansgrohe SE

¹Our relevant water-bearing product range comprises hand and overhead showers, shower sets, shower combinations, shower pipes, wash basin taps and kitchen taps.

²Products with integrated water- or energy-saving technologies, such as EcoSmart, EcoSmart+, CoolStart, EcoSelection or SensorActivation. Get more information about the resource-efficient technologies here.

Check out our water- and energy-saving technologies

Excellent design and resource conservation go hand in hand at Hansgrohe. With our EcoSmart (launched in 2007) and CoolStart (2012) technologies, consumers have been saving water and energy, day after day, for many years. And we have set even more ambitious environmental goals for the future.

In comparison to standard hansgrohe shower heads, which consume an average of 15 l/min, showers with EcoSmart reduce water consumption by up to 40% and products with EcoSmart+ by up to 60%.

CoolStart taps are eco-friendly. When the handle is in the middle position, only cold water flows. When hot water is actually needed, the lever handle on the CoolStart tap can be simply turned to the left.
