MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (NYSE: ZWS) has been named one of America’s Climate Leaders 2026 for the second consecutive year by USA Today and Statista.

The recognition highlights the U.S.-based companies that have reduced their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity the most between 2022 and 2024, as measured by GHG emissions relative to revenue. According to Statista’s analysis, Zurn Elkay achieved a 21.3% reduction in greenhouse gas intensity over the three-year period. Among the 500 companies on the list, Zurn Elkay ranked No. 161 overall, No. 6 in the Capital Goods sector and No. 3 among only 10 Wisconsin-based companies that made the list.

“Recognition like this reflects the progress we’ve made and the discipline behind it,” said Todd A. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions. “We remain focused on reducing our environmental impact while delivering solutions that help our customers meet their sustainability goals, from water conservation and water quality to reducing reliance on single-use plastic.”

Zurn Elkay was ranked based on publicly available and independently verified emission data, evaluating year-over-year reductions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity (compound annual reduction rate), along with CDP rating and broader environmental performance. Zurn Elkay’s sustainability work has also been recognized by Statista and partners Newsweek (in its list of America’s Most Responsible Companies, 2021-2026) and TIME (in its list of World’s Best Companies for Sustainable Growth, 2025-2026).
