This marks the sixth consecutive year the company has been listed in the global index
LIXIL, maker of pioneering water and housing products whose portfolio includes the brand GROHE, has been included in the prestigious ‘Dow Jones Sustainability World Index‘(DJSI World) with its highest ever score.
This marks the sixth consecutive year the company has been listed in the global index while also reaffirming its position in the DJSI Asia Pacific for the eighth consecutive year.
The DJSI World is regarded as a global benchmark for the objective evaluation of companies’ sustainability strategies and practices. Inclusion is based, among other factors, on an outstanding overall rating in the areas of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment.
More than 13,000 listed companies worldwide were invited to take part in the assessment process in 2024, where LIXIL achieved its highest score to date: 83/100, positioning the company at the top of the Building Products industry forthe first time.
Sustainability initiatives
As part of LIXIL’s strong brand portfolio, GROHE’s sustainability initiatives and product innovations play a vital role in supporting the company’s Impact Strategy.
In its commitment to responsible sourcing and to comply with the German Supply Chain Act, the brand has elevated its processes by partnering with the supply chain sustainability platform IntegrityNext since 2022 to conduct due diligence on human rights and environmental standards when selecting new suppliers.
GROHE is also fulfilling its commitment to carbon dioxide reduction, with all eight LIXIL International’s fittings plants as well as the German logistics centres of the GROHE brand achieving CO2 neutrality in 2020, followed by the outbound logistics in 2021.
All eight fittings plants and German distribution centers switched to green energy. Unavoidable emissions are currently offset by three high-quality compensation projects.
