The Quooker tap was invented to benefit both our daily lives and the environment. Easy for people and good for the planet: this is the essence of our corporate philosophy.
We create sustainable products and do this in a responsible way. And we go beyond that. We are also committed to improving working conditions within the chain. We contribute to the energy transition and take action against climate change. We strive to alleviate the scarcity of drinking water and resources in various parts of the world. In all these ways, we contribute to a more sustainable future.
1. Energy Saving
''Quooker strives to reduce the demand for energy by creating an energy-efficient source of boiling, hot, sparkling and chilled water''
The rapid pace of global warming is forcing us to move away from fossil fuels and towards renewable sources of energy. If we really want to make a difference, we must reduce energy consumption worldwide: it is as simple as that. Quooker strives to achieve this goal by supplying millions of households with an energy-efficient source of boiling, hot, sparkling and chilled water.
2. Drinking Water Conservation & Availability
''Quooker helps households conserve water and enables access to clean and safe drinking water''
A Quooker helps you to conserve water every day. You never dispense more than the desired quantity of boiling water, not a single drop is lost. This is important because clean drinking water is vitally important and an uninterrupted supply should never be taken for granted. All around the world, summers are becoming drier and drier. Water shortages no longer only occur in developing countries. Here, too, the government is increasingly urging citizens to conserve the available drinking water. Quooker is committed to achieving a better distribution of drinking water around the globe. We are doing this by delivering water-efficient products in countries where drinking water is plentiful – and by working to improve access to clean drinking water in countries where the supply is limited.
3. Climate Neutral
'Quooker is committed to becoming climate neutral throughout our value chain by investing in sustainable, innovative solutions''
Global warming is largely the result of human action and is mostly due to the burning of fossil fuels and the CO₂ that is released in the process. Since the Industrial Revolution, the planet has become 1.1 °C warmer and the ecosystem has shifted further out of balance. We must turn the tide, that much is clear. But how? Quooker is aware of its responsibility and strives to ensure that its own facilities at least are fully carbon neutral by 2028.
4. Longevity & Circularity
''Quooker develops high-quality products with a long lifespan created in a circular value chain''
In a circular economy, materials are reused whenever and wherever possible. Products are designed to last as long as possible and then to be reused or repaired. At Quooker, we believe that this is the economy of the future, which is why we accept our responsibility and strive to minimise our use of new raw materials.
5. Care for People
'Quooker creates sustainable products with an attention to people’s well-being''
Social and ecological systems are closely interwoven with one another. The growing environmental issues, for example, are placing increasing pressure on alreadyvulnerable communities. Inequality and poverty are obstacles to tackling environmental problems. All of which is to say that the only way to achieve a sustainable world is to devote care and attention to people and society. With that in mind, Quooker is focusing not only on ecological sustainability (i.e., the environment) but on social sustainability (i.e., people) as well.
