What We’re Doing

At LIXIL, our purpose is to make better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere. And plumbers around the world make that happen every single day.

Bonds & Purpose

Across the globe, LIXIL and its family of brands have stood alongside the plumbing industry for over a century.

Plumbers keep water flowing, sanitation working, and communities running. It’s important work. Essential work.

That’s why we are doing everything we can to support plumbers and encourage the next generation of skilled workers.

SATO

While many see the impact that plumbers have on sanitation and hygiene, millions around the world still lack the proper infrastructure to support indoor plumbing systems. LIXIL is helping address this challenge through SATO by providing safer sanitation solutions for over 100 million people around the world.

Tools and Tiaras

For nearly 10 years, LIXIL has partnered with Tools & Tiaras (T&T), a nonprofit organization founded by licensed plumber Judaline Cassidy that introduces young girls to careers in the skilled trades., Through hands-on summer camps and educational programs, girls ages 6-17 explore opportunities across the industry, from plumbing and engineering to design and sustainable development, helping inspire the next generation of trade professionals.

LIXIL Public Partners

LIXIL Public Partners brings together governments, private sector organizations, NGOs and local communities to help solve sanitation, housing and water challenges in communities around the world. The organization acts as a connector and facilitator: bringing together the right partners to address barriers to water and sanitation access, system performance and long-term sustainability.

Lowndes County Alabama

In Lowndes County in Alabama, many families still face serious sanitation challenges due to aging and inadequate wastewater infrastructure. To help address this, we launched a pilot program providing 100 homes with tailored solutions designed to treat and filter wastewater based on their specific needs.

Partnerships

LIXIL is proud to partner with multiple organizations that share our commitment to addressing critical challenges in plumbing, sanitation and hygiene. By working with organizations including IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) and PMI (Plumbers and Manufacturers International), we gain firsthand insights into the real world impact of the skilled labor shortage, helping us to collaborate on solutions that expand access, strengthen communities, and support the future of the industry.
