Governance Highlights

Xylem is committed to maintaining strong corporate governance practices. We understand that adherence to sound principles of transparency and accountability is critical to earning and maintaining the trust of our key stakeholders and to achieving our financial goals. Xylem is fortunate to be overseen by an independent, diverse and highly accomplished Board that brings experience, commitment and rigor to our business.

Xylem provides stakeholders with a steady flow of communications about the company's direction, decisions and priorities. Our Corporate Governance Principles, Charters and Code of Conduct are publicly accessible online.

Employees have access to company policies and our Code of Conduct through an intranet portal, and are informed of company decisions through regular print, Web newsletters and memos. Shareholders and other external audiences can also learn about Xylem through webcasts, investor conferences, earnings calls, the Xylem website, news releases and our company public filings.
