Waters Corporation Listed as No. 5 on Barron's 100 Most Sustainable Companies 2023 List
Waters Corporation¡¯s (NYSE:WAT) companywide commitment to ¡°leaving the world better than we found it¡± has earned it the number five ranking on the Barron¡¯s 2023 100 Most Sustainable Companies U.S. list – its third consecutive year on the list, and its second time amongst the top ten.
Waters has a strong focus on making progress against a set of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. At the highest level, these reflect Waters¡¯ efforts to reduce its environmental footprint, develop a workforce that is more representative of the society we live in, and to continue its strong governance practices. In 2022, Waters shared an update on its progress as well as a transparent framework that demonstrates how the company plans to build upon its strategy which is grounded in the company¡¯s guiding principle of "leaving the world better than we found it."
¡°Success only comes if we all give more than we take from this world,¡± says Dr. Udit Batra, President & CEO, Waters Corporation. ¡°We are thrilled to be recognized for our steadfast commitment to sustainability, which is enabled by focusing on solving problems that matter and empowering each Waters employee to make a unique and positive contribution.¡±
Waters marked multiple environmental sustainability highlights in 2022, including the release of its sustainably designed Xevo¢â TQ Absolute mass spectrometer. This essential instrument, used to test drinking water and environmental samples for contaminants such as PFAS, uses 50% less electricity and nitrogen gas and produces 50% less heat — lowering laboratory energy use, cost, and total environmental impact.i
Waters also opened its new $215 million Precision Chemistry facility in Taunton, Massachusetts, the first and only LEED-certified chemical manufacturing facility in Massachusetts and one of a small number of such facilities in the U.S.
In its sixth year, the Barron¡¯s100 Most Sustainable Companies list was built in collaboration with Calvert Research and Management by ranking 1,000 of the largest publicly traded companies by their performance in five key constituencies: shareholders, employees, customers, community, and the planet.
