Case Studies

Culligan Helps Communities
Access Cleaner Water

Formed in 2005, Culligan CARES is the philanthropic arm of our company, focused on helping individuals, families and communities in need of cleaner, safer water. The work is overseen by the Culligan CARES Committee, members of Culligan’s independent dealer network and corporate advisors who review the requests and seek out new opportunities to assist. 99% of funding for Culligan CARES initiatives is raised by our dealers.

We partner with NGOs to help carry out our mission and most effectively reach the communities where our help can have the greatest impact. These partnerships include groups such as the Convoy of Hope, the American Diabetes Association, Water Well Trust, and World Concern.

Culligan CARES focuses on three types of projects:

Local community: supporting local and charitable events
Clean water: providing cleaner, safer drinking water where clean water is a high priority
Disaster relief: providing bottled water to catastrophe victims and first responders

Since 2015, Culligan CARES has completed more than 25 projects globally, including in under-developed countries such as Uganda and Laos.

Why We Value Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion

Leading With Authenticity

Doing our part to bring about a better, more sustainable world means more than environmental initiatives. We’re also focused on critical social issues including diversity, equity and inclusion.


As a global organization with employees from wide-ranging nationalities and backgrounds, we strive to create a culture that encourages every individual to bring their unique experiences and perspectives to their work. We believe that building a workforce from a diverse representation of cultures, race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and physical capabilities is more than the right thing to do – it’s foundational to our success.

We believe diverse teams add real value to our work; they’re essential in helping us build our business and address the emerging challenges around water.

Inclusion

We will foster a culture of inclusion that values our differences

An environment where people can be their true selves is one where they can share their unique perspectives and know their contributions are valued.

Transparency

We will be committed, accountable and transparent, starting from the top

To be effective, we need to show results. Broad and sustainable progress starts with setting clear goals and taking real action.
