Pool Corporation Releases 2024 Corporate Responsibility Report
COVINGTON, La., July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pool Corporation (Nasdaq/GSM: POOL) announced today that it has released its 2024 Corporate Responsibility Report.
"Our 2024 Corporate Responsibility Report outlines our ongoing efforts to support our employees, protect the environment and give back to the communities in which we live and work. In our operations, we are guided by our four operating priorities: safety, growth, profitability and striving to be an Employer of Choice. Keeping these values at the forefront helps us advance our business, grow our customers' businesses and lead the outdoor living industry to a strong and responsible future," commented Peter D. Arvan, president and CEO.
Highlights from our 2024 report include:
- Employee Care and Safety: Safety is our first operating priority, and we strive for Goal Zero: zero employee injuries, zero preventable vehicle accidents and zero roadside violations. In 2024, we honored team members who exemplify safety leadership through our Safety Challenge Coin and Safe Driver of the Year programs. We also invest in our employees through leadership development, wellness programs and a culture of recognition.
- Environmental Stewardship: We are committed to environmental stewardship and responsible resource use through the products we sell and efforts we undertake. Our sustainability initiatives, including waste diversion, returnable packaging and vinyl pool liner recycling programs, are designed to minimize our environmental impact. In 2024, we reduced our landfill waste by 22%, diverting nearly 11,000 tons.
- Giving Back to the Community: We support local communities through outreach initiatives, disaster relief efforts and our SWiMPACT! program, which has provided free swim lessons to over 42,000 children and training for 3,000 lifeguards in partnership with YMCAs nationwide.
