“2023 was a year of great progress at Mueller from an environmental, health and sustainability perspective. We were upgraded by MSCI to its highest ESG level of AAA, an important milestone from an agency that evaluates and scores companies’ ESG practices,” said Martie Edmunds Zakas, Mueller’s Chief Executive Officer. “We also added to our global disclosure alignment to share our progress against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDSs) and provided our initial climate-related response to the CDP.”

“Mueller has been solving problems for our customers, communities and industries alike for more than 165 years,” Zakas continued. “We look forward to continuing to help our customers deliver clean, safe drinking water to millions of people for generations to come.”
