Energy Recovery's Inaugural ESG Report Shortlisted for CRRA's Best 1st Time Sustainability Report

SAN LEANDRO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2021 / Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:ERII) today announced its inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") report has been shortlisted for Best 1^st Time Sustainability Report by the Corporate Register Reporting Awards (CRRA) along with eight other corporations across the globe.

Published in September 2020, the report details Energy Recovery's multi-pronged approach to enhancing sustainability and its ESG performance. The CRRA is the world's only annual, global online award program for corporate responsibility reporting, decided by the vote of more than 65,000 industry members.

"Energy Recovery's core mission is creating innovative industrial products to make our customers' businesses more environmentally sustainable at reduced cost. With our pressure exchanger technology, we can reduce energy consumption and emissions while increasing system reliability and lowering overall operating costs across a variety of industries," said Joshua Ballard, Chief Financial Officer of Energy Recovery. "We're honored by Corporate Register's recognition and look forward to sharing additional updates on the results of our materiality assessment and performance in our next ESG report later this year."

Mr. Ballard is a speaker at the upcoming Reuters Responsible Business 2021 event, a gathering of global CEOs, policymakers, chief sustainability officers, NGOs and investors driving change worldwide.

Energy Recovery's ESG report, covering fiscal year 2019, is aligned with leading sustainability frameworks and reporting standards, including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG). Highlights include:

• 12.4 million metric tons of carbon emissions were avoided due to Energy Recovery's PX® Pressure Exchanger® energy recovery devices, equal to removing more than 2.5 million passenger vehicles from the road.
• 89% of total product revenue generated from renewable energy and energy efficiency-related products.
• 100% of waste metal from Energy Recovery's operations is recycled.
