Cutting emissions in operations

The company says it is reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions across its operations, including manufacturing plants and other facilities. It also says it will balance any remaining emissions from its operations and supply chain by using natural or technical solutions that remove an equal amount of greenhouse gases from the air. This is a climate action focused on the company’s own footprint, not just its products.

Reducing packaging waste

The company says it has worked to reduce material use in operations and cut its use of virgin petroleum-based plastic resin, which is new plastic made from fossil fuels. It also says it designs consumer packaging to be recyclable or reusable. These steps are meant to lower waste and reduce the amount of new plastic entering the system.

Managing water risk

The company says it is working to reduce water use in its operations, especially at facilities exposed to high water risk. It says the aim is to protect water resources and deal with local water challenges in the places where it operates. This is part of its wider effort to lower environmental impact and support community needs.

Responsible sourcing in supply chains

The company says it is committed to responsible sourcing of key commodities such as wood pulp, palm oil, and paper packaging. It also says it respects human, labour, and land tenure rights in its supply chains. In plain terms, that means it wants raw materials to be bought in ways that avoid harm to workers, local communities, and land users.

Helping consumers use less

The company says its sustainability strategy also aims to help consumers reduce their own impact when using its products. It says it is trying to make it easier for people to use less energy, water, and waste during everyday use. This shows a focus on product design and user habits, not only factory operations.

Sharing sustainability solutions

The company says it is trying to scale environmental solutions across industries through cross-value chain collaboration, meaning work with suppliers, customers, and other partners across the full chain from raw materials to retail. It also says it makes some of its innovations available so more businesses can use them. This is meant to spread impact beyond its own operations.
