Environmental sustainability

After more than a decade of action, we continue to reduce the environmental impacts of our own operations – which extend to suppliers and consumers too.

Managing our environmental impacts

Our Business Partner Code ensures that our suppliers meet our expectations on environmental and social impacts.

We encourage consumers to be environmentally-aware when using our products, while also reformulating our products to reduce their environmental impact during use.

Sustainable agricultural sourcing

Over two-thirds of our raw materials come from agriculture. Our Sustainable Agriculture Programme looks at how crops are grown and how to secure sustainable supplies in the long term.

Climate change

We have set a stretching goal to reduce further our greenhouse gas emissions, working closely with governments and partners on this challenge.

Water

Our brands rely on water at every stage of their lifecycle, from the production of raw materials to consumer use.

Packaging

Packaging is essential for the protection and hygiene of our products, which makes achieving truly sustainable packaging a complex challenge.

Eco-efficiency in manufacturing

We aim to minimise both resources used and waste created.
