Xylem announces new 2030 water stewardship goals

Xylem is expanding its sustainability commitments with new 2030 water stewardship goals, following the company’s combination with Evoqua. Xylem’s 2030 goals include enabling its customers to reduce global water demand by at least 2 billion cubic meters, reducing the company’s own water intensity by 30%, and gaining visibility into the water intensity of its supply chain through water stewardship reporting and practices. The commitments are captured in Xylem’s 2023 Sustainability Report, which also details the company’s progress to advance water security. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 – ensuring access to water and sanitation for all – is central to Xylem’s work. In 2023, the company provided clean water and sanitation solutions to 3.8 million people living in under-resourced and water-insecure communities. Following its combination with Evoqua, the company is scaling its WASH efforts by committing to reach an additional 80 million people from 2025 through 2030.
