Lixil updates environmental strategy
Lixil Corporation, maker of pioneering water and housing products, announced its updated environmental strategy that outlines how the company will tackle key environmental issues such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, water sustainability, and contributing to the realization of a circular economy.
In each of these three focus areas, the updated strategy sets out new midterm targets across Lixil’s operations, value chain and beyond, to expand the positive impact the company is having on environmental and social issues of the world. Its approach extends beyond the mitigation of risks and adaptation, but throughout its value chain; leveraging its expertise to change the way people live, today and tomorrow.
“As a purpose-driven organization, Lixil is embedding ESG activities and commitments into our core business strategy, to ensure that we are having a positive impact and to strengthen our business over the long-term. Our updated environmental strategy is central to this approach, ensuring that we are aligned across our business to important environmental commitments, but also because it will allow us to capture new opportunities and manage risks,” said Kinya Seto, president and CEO of Lixil.
Demonstrating the company’s strengthened commitment to accelerate efforts for sustainable business practices from operations and in collaboration with business partners, Lixil recently marked its third consecutive year on the Supplier Engagement Leaderboard and Water Security A List by the CDP, one of the founding partners of the SBTI.
Lixil is introducing functional yet efficient solutions for end-users to reduce consumption of energy in both new and existing homes, driving impact for Lixil and the environment —contributing to mitigation by enhancing the line-up of highperformance windows, doors and construction methods, and by energy saving water technologies such as faucets and toilets; while offering solutions such as shades, shutters, and storm doors designed to alleviate the effects of rising temperatures and heavy rainfall for adaptation.
