innovate with us at the nexus of finance and sustainability. We’ll continue to explore new and innovative ways to further entwine our sustainability and business strategy. You mentioned these green finance tools are linked to Xylem’s 2025 Sustainability Goals. Tell us more about the goals and progress to date. We launched a comprehensive set of 2025 Sustainability Goals in 2019, with eight goals particularly critical to advancing progress on the world’s most urgent water challenges.
And despite the challenges of the global COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was a year of progress. Among our broader sustainability impacts were: enabling water operators to reduce their carbon footprint by 0.7 million metric tons of CO2, preventing 1.4B m3 of polluted water from flooding communities or entering local waterways, and enabling the reuse of 4.3B m3 of water, or more than 1 trillion gallons. What is next for Xylem? We’ll continue to solve the world’s biggest water challenges. That’s our mission and our business and that’s why sustainability is at the core of who we are and what we do.

These goals focus our efforts to help our customers solve water scarcity; enhance water systems resilience to climate change and water affordability issues; enable the continued sustainability of our company; and empower communities. The pricing of our Goldman demand deposit account is linked to achievement of our goal to recycle 100% of process water at our 22 major facilities.
from utilities to industrial and commercial operators of water systems – puts us in a unique position to create economic and social value in tandem. We’ll continue to explore routes to bring stakeholders together to collaborate towards a more sustainable future for all, with our green finance framework as a core pillar of this effort.
