Reckitt Benckiser Sustainability Commitments
2030
Reach 100% renewable electricity
Reckitt says it is a member of RE100, a group of companies that commit to using 100% renewable electricity, and it is targeting full renewable electricity by 2030. The company reported 96% renewable electricity in 2024, so this is a future step to close the remaining gap.
2030
Cut Scope 3 emissions by half
Reckitt says it has a target to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2030. Scope 3 means emissions from the wider value chain, such as suppliers, product use, and transport. Independent assessment says this is the hardest part of the company’s climate footprint because it makes up most of total emissions and the reduction path is still not fully clear.
2040
Aim for net zero across all scopes
Reckitt says it aims to reach net zero across all scopes by 2040. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals or other measures. The company also says it is working toward a nature-positive future, but independent sources note that the detailed pathway for the full supply chain still needs more clarity.
2025
Use recycled or certified paper
Reckitt has a target for 100% of its paper and board to come from recycled or certified sources by 2025. Certified here means materials that meet recognised forestry standards such as FSC or PEFC, which are systems that check how wood and paper are sourced. Independent assessment says this target is part of the company’s packaging and resource-use work.
