Water boundary and accounting methodology

Organizational boundary

Reported data covers the 2022 calendar year. Lexmark calculates water data for all owned and operated sites and includes a portion of leased spaces as data is available. The 2022 water data represents approximately 91% of Lexmark’s 2022 estimated square footage of Lexmark occupied space.

Slight variations may occur in the reporting boundary due to location changes and/or operational control adjustments. Available data for these locations will be placed in the "Other" category. 

Water risks have been assessed using the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas.

Data input and calculation methodology

Water was sourced from local municipal water suppliers, unless reused from another process on-site.

Meters are in place in Boulder, Lexington and Juárez for certain water use and/or discharge activities.

Water reuse (also commonly known as water recycling or water reclamation) reclaims water from a variety of sources then treats and reuses it for beneficial purposes such as agriculture and irrigation, potable water supplies, groundwater replenishment, industrial processes, and environmental restoration.
