Colgate-Palmolive acknowledged as a
top-performing company for its commitment to sustainable business
practices
Colgate-Palmolive has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability
Indices in recognition of its ongoing commitment to sustainable
business practices and leadership. This achievement marks the
Company’s fifth consecutive year of inclusion in the Dow Jones
Sustainability Indices (DJSI).
Colgate achieved the highest score out of the 20 companies
assessed in the Household Products Industry in the S&P Global
Corporate Sustainability Assessment, as of S&P’s November 12,
2021 evaluation.
Colgate’s sustainability efforts are guided by three key
ambitions outlined in its 2025 Sustainability & Social Impact
Strategy:
- Helping Millions of Homes: Colgate empowers people to
develop healthier habits by choosing sustainability-friendly
products that improve their lives and homes, including:
- Colgate’s first-of-its-kind recyclable toothpaste tube;
- Colgate Keep toothbrush featuring 80% less plastic waste
compared to similarly sized Colgate toothbrushes;
- Palmolive Ultra in 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic
bottles;
- Softsoap Foaming Hand Soap Tablets, offering an easy-to-use
form that encourages reuse and refill as an alternative to buying
new plastic bottles; includes a starter kit containing a
refillable, recyclable aluminum bottle.
- Preserving our Environment: Colgate is accelerating
action on climate change and reducing our environmental footprint
by working with partners and third-party organizations to decrease
plastic waste, save water, conserve natural resources and eliminate
waste.
- To date, Colgate has 25 certified TRUE Zero Waste facilities in
15 countries on five continents—more than any other company in the
world;
- As of December 31, 2020, Colgate has reduced the amount of
waste sent to landfills by 82%, per ton of production, since
2010;
- As of December 31, 2020, Colgate has reduced water use per ton
of production by nearly 52% vs. 2002.
- And since launching in 2016, our “Save Water” public awareness
campaign has led consumers to avoid an estimated 155 billion
gallons, contributing to an avoidance of an estimated 8.3 million
metric tons of CO2 emissions.
- Driving Social Impact: Colgate is committed to ensuring
the wellbeing of all people and their pets by creating meaningful
impact through programs such as Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright
Futures, Colgate Women’s Games, Estrellas Colgate, and Hill’s Food,
Shelter & Love. In 2020, the Company released its first-ever
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Report.
“With a brand that is in more homes than any other, Colgate is
uniquely positioned to help people live healthier, more sustainable
lives,” said Ann Tracy, Colgate’s Chief Sustainability Officer. “We
are deeply committed to innovation and sustainability progress, and
another year of recognition by the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices
is an honor that further establishes Colgate’s leadership as we
seek to create planet-friendly products and embed sustainability
practices at every level of our business.”
This recognition from the DJSI comes during a period of key
sustainability initiatives and accomplishments for Colgate,
including the issuance of our first Sustainability Bond pursuant to
our Sustainable Financing Framework and recognition as an ENERGY
STAR Partner of the Year by U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR. Additional
details about Colgate’s sustainability targets and accomplishments
are available in its Corporate Sustainability & Social Impact
Report 2020: Reimagining a Healthier Future for All.
