The chief executive of White Plains-based ITT Corp. yesterday called for greater worldwide investment in water sanitation and solving health problems in poor regions.
“The impact of poor sanitation on the health of people in some of the world’s developing countries is well-documented and inescapable but still dramatically overlooked by governments and industry alike,†Steve Loranger said during a panel discussion in Vienna, Austria, according to a statement from the company.
Loranger said ITT is working to develop water and wastewater treatment products and services that are affordable in developing nations.
ITT has started a program called ITT Watermark, which includes a three-year commitment of $3 million to provide safe water, sanitation and education in hygiene to schools in India, Honduras and Guatamala.
