And solving water — one of the U.N.
Xylem (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company, has published its 2016 Sustainability Report, which outlines its progress in advancing solutions to global water and energy resource challenges.
"At Xylem, our sustainability strategy is tied directly to our business strategy, enabling sustainability to be effectively and seamlessly integrated into all we do," said Patrick Decker, President and CEO of Xylem.
These efforts — one customer at a time — enable us to help build more resilient communities around the globe."
In the report, the Company details its progress against its five-year sustainability goals, which include reducing water use by 25 percent and greenhouse gas emission intensity and waste-to-landfill by 20 percent each.
Xylem increased its vitality index goal from 25 percent to 30 percent by 2020, which reflects the addition of the Sensus business, a leader in smart metering and network technologies.
Earlier this month, Xylem issued a statement outlining its continued commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement, highlighting the need for practical solutions and innovative technologies to help global communities mitigate the impacts of climate change and adapt to its resulting effects, such as prolonged drought and increased flooding.
