“Stronger Together – Partnering to tackle the Global Sanitation & Hygiene Crisis”

Going to the toilet, washing our hands – these are daily routines that we don’t think much about. For most of us, having sanitary facilities with clean water is not given much thought day-to-day. However, for two billion people globally – who lack access to sanitation – it isn’t as simple. And the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened this vast difference in access to water, sanitation, and hygiene. LIXIL, maker of pioneering water and housing products that includes GROHE in its iconic brand portfolio, sets a target of improving sanitation and quality of life for 100 million people by 2025 through its technology and capabilities as a global leader.

Join Jin Montesano, Chief People Officer, LIXIL and Carla Haddad Mardini, Director, Private Fundraising and Partnerships, UNICEF on LIXIL brand GROHE’s digital experience hub, GROHE X, for a thought-provoking conversation centred around how LIXIL and UNICEF are combining their strengths to support underserved communities to improve the quality of life for millions.
