Values determine our actions
The LEWA group attaches great importance to an enduring corporate culture which is determined by values. These values are appreciation of our customers, integrity as a fundament and guideline of all our actions and reliability in everything we do.
All LEWA employees are dedicated to these fundamentals which serve the development of a culture of collaboration between employees, with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
Above that LEWA stands for a respectful cooperation and the tolerance of different opinions. Cooperation instead of confrontation is a valuable basis of our daily works as well as strenghtening the personal responsibility of our employees and the sense of equity and fairness.

Environmental protection at LEWA
By combining engineering expertise at product and system level and due to a deep application knowledge, LEWA is able to develop customer-specific and energy-saving solutions for a wide variety of industries.
Environmentally friendly pump systems
LEWA sees it as a part of their corporate responsibility to handle resources sustainably and to protect the environment. This is what our pump systems stand for – with hermetic sealing, high efficiency, and energy-saving drive systems. They permit more environmentally friendly processes and energy-efficient production. Our sign for environmentally friendly pumps:
The LEWA eco-seal.
Eco-friendly production
We commit ourselves to acting responsible and by means of cost savings we assure long-term cost effectiveness, jobs and thus also competitiveness. Moreover we protect the environment. But this responsibility doesn't just stop with our products. We also place great value on environmentally friendly techniques in our own production. We are actively participating in the commercial environmental program ECOfit organized by the state of Baden-Württemberg. This program examines and evaluates waste management, air purity, water use, and energy savings.
Blue Competence Initiative
Our understanding of forward-looking sustainability is based on the principles of economic success, fairness, respect and responsibility and encompasses the dimensions of society, ecology and economy. We have a comprehensive understanding of sustainable action according to the definition of the Brundtland Report1 and the definition of the German Council for Sustainable Development2 in Germany.

Sports support at LEWA
We support the local sports active in various fields.
Team sports promote successful teamwork from an early age. Through group sports, social skills are developed and strengthened through joint success. Working in a team is a skill that we also expect from our employees and apprentices. Sport also provides a good balance to working in the office and promotes good health.
SV Leonberg/Eltingen
Main sponsor
We have been supporting SV Leonberg/Eltingen as a main sponsor since the end of 2022, enabling our employees to enjoy various benefits such as an exclusive sports program.
In our role as main sponsor, we are also the name giver of LEWA SPORTWELT, the center for health, exercise and encounters for young and old in Leonberg.
LEWA company sports group
The company sports group, in which sports enthusiastic employees of all ages meet, has been in existence for several decades. The training takes place weekly in the gym of the August-Lämmle-School.
The international group is always happy to welcome new members.
Leonberg City Run
Thanks to the support of sponsors like LEWA, the Leonberg City Run is an event for the whole family.
Sponsorship funds make it possible for runners to enter for very little charge, and schoolchildren to enter entirely free of charge. But the run is also popular for its attractive route through the different parts of Leonberg.
Despite all the support for the participants, social responsibility isn't missed out: Every year, the winnings are donated to charity organizations and regional associations. A LEWA team also participates in the run each year to raise funds.
Responsibility for our region
The support of children, youth, and disadvantaged members of our society is a matter close to LEWA’s heart. This is why we are involved in numerous social and school projects, around and in Leonberg.
These include our support for the Spitalhof nursery as part of the TECHNOlino Project.
For the older kids, there is a cooperation project with the Johannes-Kepler High School. This introduces tenth grade girls to the options of engineering careers by means of demanding projects. In addition, we work together with the DAA (Deutsche Angestellten-Akademie Böblingen) and the BSZ Leonberg vocational school to integrate refugees. By offering internships we help provide occupational orientation and prepare for a career or training.
In sports and music, values and standards are communicated which are also relevant in professional life. Characteristics such as tolerance and creativity are promoted in the same way. For this reason, LEWA is the main sponsor of the SV Leonberg/Eltingen and supports other sports clubs in the region.
LEWA also supports the Jugendmusikschule (music school for youth) in Leonberg. Primary school children can participate in an instrumental work group through the project.
The important thing in all this is the reciprocity of the relationships. That means that LEWA offers the funds and support, but simultaneously improves its social competence by contact with different people. After all, this is the reason that involvement in projects is a fixed part of apprenticeship at LEWA.
