Xylem Inc/NY

ISIN: US98419M1009 | United States | North America
Score 2 - Moderate
Full assessment

Xylem outlines a formal governance structure that links its climate strategy to public-policy engagement, noting that "Our ESG Committee is composed of representatives from multiple geographies, businesses and functions and is under the executive sponsorship of the SVP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary...". The company states that this committee is responsible for "Coordinating company responses to strategic public policy and regulatory issues" and operates under a mandate to "ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy". This indicates that a named body with senior-level oversight meets regularly to review policy engagement and align it with climate objectives, which shows a clear though limited process for governing lobbying activities. However, the disclosure does not describe how the company monitors or evaluates the alignment of specific direct lobbying actions or its memberships in trade associations, nor does it publish any dedicated lobbying-alignment assessment or detail consequences for misalignment. The evidence therefore points to moderate governance centred on an internal committee but provides no visibility into concrete monitoring mechanisms, trade-association reviews, or public reporting of lobbying alignment.

This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in North America or all companies in United States.
