Xylem Sustainability Actions

Published 2025 sustainability report

Xylem published a 2025 Sustainability Report that explains how it is trying to support a more water-secure world. The report says sustainability is part of its business strategy, not a side project. It links the company’s work to clean water, wastewater treatment, and public health. It also says progress depends on working with customers, partners, and communities. This is a formal disclosure, so it gives readers a clearer view of the company’s goals, results, and measurement methods.

Cut emissions and water intensity

Xylem reported a 16% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2023, a 15% drop in Scope 3 economic emissions intensity, and a 15% reduction in water economic intensity. Scope 1 and 2 cover direct emissions from operations and purchased energy. Scope 3 includes emissions from the wider value chain. These figures suggest the company is tracking both its own footprint and the impact linked to its supply chain and operations.

Reached people with water access

In 2025, Xylem said it reached 3.70 million people with clean water and sanitation solutions. It said this brought its total impact to 20 million people since 2019 and met its 2025 sustainability goal. The company also reported support for 46 disaster-affected areas in 2025, adding to 200 areas supported since 2019. These actions show a focus on water access and emergency response in places hit by water-related disasters.

Improved safety and inclusion

Xylem reported a 15% reduction in injury frequency rate to 0.44, which it said beat its 2025 goal of 0.5. It also said women held 29% of leadership roles through merit-based retention, promotion, and recruitment. These results point to work on workplace safety and leadership diversity. The company also reported 81% employee participation in volunteer activities, which suggests a strong level of staff involvement in community work.

Earned third-party ESG ratings

Xylem reported several independent ESG ratings. It said EcoVadis rated it Silver, which is a business sustainability assessment used by many companies and buyers. It also said CDP gave it an A for climate change, a B for water security, and an A for supplier engagement. ISS ESG rated it Prime with a top decile rank, which means it scored well against that rater’s environmental, social, and governance checks. These ratings suggest outside assessors see relatively strong performance in several areas.
