Falcon Waterfree Technologies® is pleased to announce that the international non-profit B Lab has recognized Falcon as a Certified B Corporation, making it the first plumbing fixture provider to achieve the highly coveted B Corp status.

Under this certification, Falcon joins the exclusive B Corp world-wide community with one unifying goal: to redefine success in business to include social and environmental criteria. In order to qualify as a B Corporation, Falcon underwent a comprehensive and transparent investigation into its own performance standards, the results of which were verified by third party assessment from B Lab.

This certification attests to Falcon’s commitment to continually address and improve upon external issues related to the community and environment, while simultaneously refining internal company practices related to employee rights, daily operations and product innovation.

As a world leader in water conservation for over ten years, Falcon believes that it is crucial to lead the pack and establish a sustainability mindset within the plumbing and restroom fixture industry that extends beyond the engrained conservation principles of Falcon’s products. Falcon continues to move forward with the vision of being the world’s leading innovator and provider of water responsible restroom solutions.

“Falcon Waterfree Technologies was founded on the principle of ecological conservation. Becoming a B Corp shows that Falcon has taken these founding principles and embedded them across the board in our business’s operational and general daily practices. B Corp status will unite us with other like-minded companies with the same ethical vision to help improve the world in which we live,” stated Simon A. Davis, President & CEO of Falcon Waterfree Technologies.

The Falcon Waterfree urinal is a revolutionary system that saves up to 40,000 gallons per urinal per year. Waterfree urinals are more hygienic and resistant to vandalism than flush urinals. Without flush valves, plumbing repairs and emergencies are eliminated. Several models are available that earn LEED points and reduce costs.
