Advancing Xylem’s mission to build a more water-secure world through community impact.
Watermark is Xylem’s corporate social responsibility program. Our mission is to provide education and equitable access to safe water and sanitation to support healthy lives and help build resilient communities.
Through nonprofit partnerships, volunteerism, and humanitarian support, Xylem Watermark expands access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) while helping communities build resilience.

Water-Related Disasters

Through our corporate social responsibility program Xylem Watermark, and global partnerships, we help expand access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), deliver water education, and provide humanitarian support to communities facing water challenges.
We collaborate with nonprofit organizations, customers, suppliers, and local stakeholders to deliver high-impact, locally led initiatives supported through monetary donations, in-kind contributions, and volunteerism.
We also empower employees to help address global water challenges by offering 20 hours of paid volunteer time each year, including opportunities to apply their professional expertise through skills-based volunteering.
Through Xylem Watermark, we aim to improve quality of life for communities while creating meaningful opportunities for employees and value-chain partners to drive positive societal and environmental impact.
