At Hayward, our vision — to inspire happiness and well-being through safe, smart and sustainable solutions — drives everything we do, including our impact on the world. We recognize it is more important than ever to champion sustainability and to act on our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. This is why we have sharpened our focus on what’s most important to Hayward and created a structured ESG framework represented by four pillars: Products, Planet, People and Principles. These four pillars outline how we operate responsibly for our business and for our stakeholders, all while continuing to innovate and develop products that better the world. From creating energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable products to advocating for pool safety, I am proud to be part of a global company that is driving meaningful impact and operating in a responsible and ethical manner.
