NORTH ANDOVER, MA — Watts Water Technologies has been named to TIME’s inaugural World’s Most Impactful Companies 2026 list, recognizing organizations demonstrating measurable positive impact through their products, operations, and business practices.
The ranking, developed by TIME in partnership with Statista and The Upright Project, evaluates companies based on their net-positive contributions across key areas including society, environment, health, and knowledge.
Watts was recognized for its continued focus on water safety, efficiency, and sustainability, along with efforts to reduce environmental impact across its operations and support resource conservation through product innovation.
Recognition Highlights Sustainability and Water Efficiency Efforts
The World’s Most Impactful Companies list uses a science-based methodology built around The Upright Project’s Net Impact Model, which measures both the positive and negative effects of a company’s activities throughout its value chain.
To qualify, companies must demonstrate an overall positive net impact while meeting standards related to operational scale, transparency, and available reporting data.
“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 integrating environmental, social, and governance initiatives into its broader business strategy, with ongoing efforts focused on emissions reduction, water conservation, and operational sustainability.
The company also develops technologies designed to help commercial, industrial, and residential customers improve water system performance while conserving critical resources.
As sustainability and infrastructure resiliency remain growing priorities across the construction and water industries, manufacturers are increasingly being evaluated not only on operational performance, but also on long-term environmental and societal impact.
