Xylem

Xylem, a US-based company operating in the collected and purified water and distribution services sector, reported a total of approximately 64.7 billion kg CO2e in emissions for 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 71 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 8.1 million kg CO2e (market-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 62.1 billion kg CO2e.

For 2024, Xylem's total emissions were approximately 63.8 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 73.9 million kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, approximately 17.5 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and around 63.7 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions.

In 2023, Xylem's total emissions stood at approximately 63.5 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at roughly 76.2 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 18.3 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions at about 63.3 billion kg CO2e.

Xylem has established several climate commitments, including a long-term goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its value chain before 2050. More immediate targets include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, based on a 2023 baseline. Additionally, Xylem aims to reduce its Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity by 51.6% per USD value added by 2030, also from a 2023 baseline. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

In 2023, the legacy Xylem entity achieved approximately a 17% reduction in its Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to the 2022 calendar year. Earlier targets included reducing GHG emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by 2025 for Scope 1 and Scope 2, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2025. The company also previously aimed for a 12% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emission intensity by 2025 versus a 2019 baseline, and a 30% reduction in emissions intensity per unit of revenue by 2025 from a 2019 baseline.
