Senior Manager Sustainability Strategy
Rising global temperatures, extreme weather, and increasing water scarcity remind us that climate change is no longer a distant threat – it is a daily reality affecting every community, every industry, and every ecosystem!
Today, the world comes together for the International Day Against Climate Change, a moment to reflect on our shared responsibility and to remember that every decision we make can help build a more sustainable planet.
Water is key to protecting our planet from climate change. As a global leader in water treatment and process improvement, Kurita works to build a sustainable future where smart innovation and care for the environment go together. Through our technologies for water reuse, wastewater reclamation, and resource-efficient treatment, we help industries around the world reduce their water and energy footprints – transforming environmental responsibility into long-term value and resilience.
While climate change is transforming our environment, every innovation, every project, and every improvement we deliver contributes to a world that uses water more wisely and sustainably.
