Responsible Ingredient Selection.
Our sustainable formulation design vision guides our ingredient selection. We use responsibly sourced ingredients that are aligned to our standards with respect to natural systems, animal welfare, human health and human rights.
Supporting Zero Waste
Packaging that supports ZERO WASTE, tackling the impact of plastic head on and using innovation to reduce our use.
For us, packaging is more than just a means of bringing our great products to you. We take great pride in providing product packaging that visually delight, are easy for consumers to use and are made with our planet in mind.
When it comes to Sustainability, our goal is to offer packaging which brings to the marketplace innovative packaging materials, designs and system that support people in attaining a ZERO WASTE lifestyle. Our 4 key goals:
Reduce: By 2025, reduce fossil fuel-based virgin plastic by 30% compared to 2017. By 2025, minimize the amount of plastic packaging used via innovative designs.
Replace: By 2025, strive to incorporate 50% Post Consumer Recycled Materials in our plastic packaging and use responsibly sourced wood fiber materials.
Reuse: By 2025, innovate with new reuse and refill formats that help consumers re-use their original packaging many times.
Recycle: By 2025, strive to have all of our packaging be designed for recycling. By 2023, eliminate use of black plastic.
Respectful of Resources
Production that is respectful of resources, with ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions, water consumption and waste generation.
Our production is all about doing more and better with less. Every step along the way, we strive to be respectful of resources, with ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions, water consumption and waste generation.
To reduce the environmental impact of production is a massive task, because it is necessary to transform not just one manufacturing module, but a vast sum of small steps along the process. This does not stop us though – we evaluate and measure our impact on the planet and look for ways to minimize overconsumption and inefficiencies in energy, water and waste.
We have been using green forms of energy since 2019, and all our US operated factories and owned offices are using 100% renewable electricity. We have a set plan how to reduce waste to landfills to zero by 2025
We actively support water conservation by reducing full lifecycle H2O use via reformulations & formats and by 2026, we strive towards implementing a new wastewater treatment technology to recover and reuse wastewater. Following our energy reduction plan, we have reduced our yearly energy consumption by 14%, our water consumption by 23% and our wastewater volume by 19% since 2010.
