WAE Awarded ZED Gold Certification for Sustainable Practices

WAE, India’s leading sustainable water solutions company, has been awarded the ZED Gold Certification by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), Government of India — a recognition of its world-class manufacturing practices, sustainability commitment, and continuous pursuit of excellence.

Earning the ZED (Zero Defect, Zero Effect) Gold Certification places WAE among India’s top-performing manufacturing enterprises that consistently uphold superior quality and environmental standards. This certification reflects WAE’s adherence to global best practices in production, process efficiency, and responsible manufacturing — ensuring “zero defect” in products and “zero effect” on the environment.

“The ZED Gold recognition is a testament to WAE’s disciplined approach to quality, innovation, and sustainability. It reinforces our philosophy that true excellence lies in designing solutions that are not just technologically advanced but also environmentally conscious,” said Sri Prakash, VP Operations.

The certification underscores WAE’s commitment to sustainable industrial growth, aligning perfectly with its vision to deliver eco-innovative water solutions while reducing environmental footprint. It validates the company’s integrated approach — combining design precision, green manufacturing, and resource efficiency.

“Sustainability is not a separate goal for us; it is embedded in every process — from material selection to energy management. ZED Gold reinforces our belief that responsible manufacturing is the most effective route to long-term competitiveness,” added Rahul Kumar, Head QA.

WAE’s achievement has been driven by a series of forward-thinking initiatives — adoption of energy-efficient technologies, digital production tracking systems, in-house R&D for circular water design, and strict adherence to waste minimisation protocols. The company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility integrates lean practices, predictive maintenance, and quality analytics to ensure global benchmarks in performance.

The ZED Gold Certification enhances WAE’s stature among ESG-focused global partners, showcasing the company’s ability to meet international sustainability expectations. It further validates WAE’s position as a trusted partner for organizations committed to responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.

“As sustainability becomes a global priority, recognitions like ZED Gold give our stakeholders — in India and abroad — greater confidence in partnering with WAE. It affirms that our manufacturing systems are as ethical as they are efficient,” noted Sri Prakash.
