Sustainability

Pumping accounts for roughly 10% of the world's electricity. The single biggest sustainability lever EBARA owns is the efficiency, longevity and operating discipline of every pump we ship.

Long-term Vision

E-Vision 2035

EBARA's long-term framework is the strategic plan of the Group, articulated against social and environmental outcomes alongside financial ones.

E · Environment

Efficient pumps. Lower kWh.

Hydraulic redesign, variable-speed drives and smart-monitoring across the installed base. Every percentage point of efficiency at the impeller is multiplied across decades of pump operation — and that is the largest single carbon lever in our portfolio.

S · Social

Water access. Flood resilience.

Municipal water-supply pumps for emerging economies. Flood-control and storm-water pump sets that defend low-lying cities. Long-term employment in our manufacturing communities in Fujisawa, Kumamoto and beyond.

G · Governance

Independence. Audit. Ethics.

Board independence, executive accountability, ethical procurement and the discipline of audit — the unglamorous work that keeps a 113-year-old pump maker honest.

Sustainability commitment
A public commitment

Signatory to the United Nations Global Compact.

EBARA Corporation is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative — committing the Group to align operations with universal principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

We are a long-time contributor to technical and educational assistance in the water, air and environmental sectors. The Group's CDP 2025 Supplier Engagement Assessment received an “A” rating for the second consecutive year.

Equipment that helps by working.

The honest case for an industrial company's sustainability strategy is the equipment it ships. EBARA's portfolio is unusually well-aligned with the energy transition and the broader climate brief.

Energy

High-efficiency hydraulics

Pumping accounts for ~10% of global electricity use. Every percentage point of efficiency we add at the impeller is multiplied across decades of installed base — the largest single sustainability lever in our portfolio.

Operations

Variable-speed drives

A fixed-speed pump throttled by a valve wastes energy continuously. VSD-driven pump sets match flow to demand and routinely cut motor draw by 20–50% on the right duty.

Water

Municipal water supply

Vertical, submersible and booster pumps for clean-water delivery at the scale of cities. Engineered to run for decades on a 24/7 basis with minimal intervention.

Resilience

Flood control

Axial-flow and mixed-flow pump sets that defend coastlines and low-lying cities against an increasingly volatile climate. The unglamorous infrastructure of urban resilience.

Longevity

Decades, not years

An EBARA process pump is designed for decades of service between major overhauls. A long MTBF is a sustainability metric — every avoided rebuild is avoided embodied carbon.

Predictive

Smart pump monitoring

Vibration, temperature and seal-leak telemetry catches failure modes before they become outages. Less unplanned downtime means less waste, less rework, and a longer service life.
