highlight how Itron has continued to increase awareness and focus on
reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, water and energy consumption and
increasing the amount of recycling activities at facilities.
"Sustainability at Itron takes on three unique dimensions. First is our
commitment to sustainable business practices and growth, for Itron and
our utility partners around the world. Second is our commitment to the
societal implications of sustainability. Third is our commitment to
sustaining our environment," said LeRoy Nosbaum, Itron president and
CEO. "We are at a pivotal time in our history. As an industry, as
communities and as individuals, our future will be measured by what we
