- Successfully identified an estimated 7.7 billion gallons in water loss savings for clients through EchoShore® leak detection since 2020, achieving this milestone three years ahead of our targeted completion date, and set a new goal of identifying a total of 18 billion gallons of water loss by 2029
- Used ~69,900 metric tons of recycled metal vs. ~17,700 metric tons of total waste generated
- Decreased hazardous waste directed to disposal by 21% year-over-year
- Used ~95% recycled metal to produce our products
- Reduced Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 1% year-over-year compared with 2023, which is a notable accomplishment given this was the first full year of operation for the new brass foundry

"Looking ahead, we aim to drive continuing progress through our innovative solutions that help solve real-world problems for our customers, communities and industries alike.
