The race to net zero is on. Communities’ demand for clean, affordable, and resilient water services is growing all while stress from a changing climate makes being responsible water stewards and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions essential.
Water infrastructure accounts for about 2% of GHG emissions – the same as the global shipping industry. And, unlike most businesses, utilities aren’t just required to deliver on financial metrics. They must meet their communities’ needs for safe, affordable water and sanitation, while also complying with myriad regulatory requirements. Those imperatives don’t pause for emissions reduction. And they don’t have to.
Austin Alexander, VP of Sustainability & Social Impact at Xylem, will unpack how utilities can reduce emissions from operations and engage their supply chain.
