Advancing Itron’s Commitment to Resourcefulness: 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report

June 5, 2024

At Itron, we aim to create a more resourceful world for today, tomorrow and generations to come. Our sustainability efforts go beyond our work with customers to advance their sustainability goals; we also seek to make a difference in our own operations by improving the environmental impact of our facilities, offices and supply chain. Doing the right thing is more than just a corporate objective—it is a fundamental principle that guides our actions.

By collaborating with our stakeholders, focusing on environmental stewardship and engaging in social responsibility, Itron is contributing to an era of cleaner energy and water. Our commitment to sustainability is unwavering, and our 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report, released today, details our efforts and achievements as we empower our customers—and ourselves—to be more efficient and resourceful.

Our Sustainability Strategy;

Itron operates with high environmental standards, and in 2023, we steadily pushed forward on our path toward net zero emissions with measurable progress. In fact, we achieved our interim goal of a 50% reduction in Itron’s owned carbon emissions by 2028 – five years early. Additional notable sustainability advancements for Itron in 2023 include:

  • Enabled customers to avoid at least 6.8 million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This estimate is based on our installed base of electric, gas and water AMI and AMR endpoints, prepayment and demand response solutions.
  • Ensured that 88% of our manufacturing facilities achieved International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 – Environmental Management Systems certification.
  • Advanced our ongoing efforts to maintain a safe work environment, which resulted in the lowest recordable and lost time rates in Itron's history.
  • Received recognition for our commitment to cultivating an inclusive and thriving workplace, including being named among Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces and Greatest Workplaces for Diversity.

Customer Success

Alongside Itron’s own efforts, we work with our customers every day to advance their sustainability goals. For example, Tampa Electric Company worked with Itron to upgrade more than 200,000 streetlights across its service territory, streamlining operations to create greater efficiency and save both money and electricity. Further, ComEd is using Itron’s advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) multi-purpose network to create efficiencies and lower carbon emissions from gas meter reading. The AMI network significantly reduces the number of utility vehicles from the street, eliminating over 626 tons of carbon emissions and 580,000 driving miles per year.

Looking Ahead: A Commitment to Resourcefulness

At Itron, transparency and integrity are core values that guide everything we do. We are committed to doing the right thing for our business, our customers and the planet. As we move forward, we will continue to innovate and collaborate, ensuring a future where clean water, reliable energy and responsible resource management are a reality for all.
