    The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recently bestowed its 2019 WaterSense Excellence Award on Toro in recognition for the company’s Land. Water. Thrive. philanthropic initiative aimed at improving water efficiency in outdoor environments. As part of that initiative, over a two-year period, Toro is offering up to $1 million in grants to nonprofits in the global community as part of the Greenspace Enhancement Grant Program. This was the fourth year in a row that the EPA has honored Toro with a WaterSense Excellence Award.

    More To The Story

    Toro initiated and sponsored several other public and professional water conservation efforts in 2018. The company continued its annual Water Is Life Art Mural Challenge calendar activity for elementary students nationwide (where proceeds benefitted the participating schools) and endorsed WaterSense-labeled products, training end-users at events across the country. Toro also co-sponsored the weekly radio program, The Water Zone, and the Wyland Foundation’s National Mayor's Challenge kick-off event to share and promote outdoor water conservation information with participating cities.

    It Just Makes Sense

    Since 2006, WaterSense-labeled products have helped have helped reduce the amount of energy needed to heat, pump and treat water by 462.5 billion kilowatt hours—which is enough to power more than 44.4 million homes for a year. “Our partners have made water-saving products, homes, and programs accessible across the nation and have educated millions on the importance of water conservation,” says Veronica Blette, Chief, WaterSense Branch. “These WaterSense award winners are leading the fight against water waste to save our most precious resource.”
