Watts Water Technologies Inc. through its subsidiaries, one of the world’s leading manufacturers and providers of plumbing, heating, and water quality products and solutions, was named as one of Newsweek’s 2026 Most Charitable Companies. This recognition demonstrates measurable impact of the company’s philanthropic efforts in the communities it serves.
Newsweek, in partnership with Statista, conducted a multi-layered process to score eligible companies, with the top 2,000 U.S.-headquartered public companies reviewed. The candidate pool was then assessed across three channels to produce a detailed scoring analysis: Panel Survey, Social Listening, and KPI Collection and Analysis. These channels aim to measure public perception, sentiment and scale of volunteering, and corporate giving, respectively. Of the 2,000, the top 300 were awarded, including Watts.
“As a leader in global water technologies and solutions, it is our responsibility to bring positive impact to our communities, build on our customer-driven innovations, and grow our global charitable initiatives in the coming years. This recognition empowers our people to continue giving back to communities around the world and continue to know their efforts make a difference for the future,” said Robert J. Pagano Jr., CEO, President and Chairperson of the Board at Watts. “Every day, we strive to serve and protect the communities where we operate, and I’m grateful to our dedicated team members who made this recognition possible by diligently upholding our value-driven culture.”
In the past year, Watts has been recognized by TIME, USA Today, Barron’s, Top Places to Work, and Handshake, in addition to multiple Newsweek awards, further supporting the company’s holistic commitment to social responsibility and advances in the water industry.
