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.
In the Caribbean
We have actively developed ways to reduce the environmental impact of our manufacturing processes. One of our key initiatives involves water reduction and several projects are ongoing across all sites to reduce the consumption of water in our processes. At the same time, HR driven initiatives encourage employees to reduce their own footprint through car-pooling, energy efficiency and paper recycling. Our businesses also partake in activities that promote environmental preservation.
