Sustainable in a Generation

Our goal is to make our factories and offices ‘Sustainable in a Generation’ by eliminating fossil fuel energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing our impacts on water quality and availability, and mitigating the impacts of our waste by 2040.

Energy and Climate

Climate change is affecting life on our planet. We have committed to reduce our fossil fuel energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in absolute terms, and eventually eliminate them, regardless of business growth.

Water impacts

Stress on water sources around the world is a growing problem; one in three people lacks enough for his or her daily needs. That is why we are committed to minimizing our impacts on water quality and availability in the areas near our operations.

Waste

Waste is a problem because of the resource use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with producing it and because of the impacts of its disposal. Our current approach is based on a simple waste hierarchy. Disposal in landfill is a last resort, and we have committed to sending no waste to landfill by 2015.
