Watts Water Technologies, Inc. has been named to TIME’s World’s Most Impactful Companies 2026 list in this new ranking’s inaugural year. Watts’ inclusion in this list is a recognition of the company’s net-positive contribution to the world, based on a scientific assessment of data on its technologies, operations, and global business practices.

The World’s Most Impactful Companies list, presented by TIME in partnership with Statista and The Upright Project, identifies companies and organizations that demonstrate a strong net-positive impact across key dimensions, including Society, Environment, Health, and Knowledge. Inclusion on the list reflects an independent, data-driven assessment of how effectively a company’s products and services contribute to global well-being across its full value chain.

“Being recognized by TIME as one of the World’s Most Impactful Companies acknowledges our commitment to delivering solutions that meet the needs of our customers and create lasting benefit for the environment as well as for communities across the globe,” said Robert J. Pagano, Jr., CEO, president and chairperson of the Board at Watts. “At Watts, we are committed to advancing water safety, efficiency, and sustainability through innovation, while operating responsibly and holding ourselves accountable to measurable progress. This recognition is a direct result of the dedication and professionalism of our team members, who consistently uphold our value‑driven culture.”

"Watts continues to integrate sustainability at the heart of its business strategy, reducing environmental impact by lowering emissions, advancing water conservation across its operations, and delivering solutions that help customers optimize performance while conserving critical resources."

The ranking is based on a rigorous, science-based methodology that evaluates companies using The Upright Project’s Net Impact Model, which analyzes the positive and negative effects of a company’s activities across its full value chain. Companies included must demonstrate a positive overall net impact and meet criteria related to scale, transparency, and available data.
