LIBERTY LAKE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 22, 2020-- Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, released today its 2019 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report, which highlights the company’s new framework for reporting on sustainability goals and commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Featuring expanded content and information on key policies, the report provides insights into Itron’s ESG practices in 2019 and plans for future initiatives.

The report features Itron’s reinvigorated approach to its ESG strategy, which is built upon four key pillars:

  • Environmental and Operational Stewardship: How Itron runs the company with an eye toward sustainability
