Planet:The Drive to Protect Our Planet
Rethinking Our Packaging
ASPIRATION
Rethink our packaging to reduce its environmental footprint
TARGET
Integrate sustainability considerations into all new packaging designs
2023 PROGRESS
Developed a sustainable packaging strategy, focusing our investments in the areas most important to our footprint and our customers.
Undertook a pilot Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to identify key areas of environmental impacts in our product manufacturing processes.
Launched improved product and supply chain packaging.
We’re working to innovate packaging systems that not only maintain the safety and quality of our products and provide convenience for our customers, but also result in less waste and reduced emissions at every stage of the product pathway. With the support of our leadership team and the dedication of our Packaging Council, packaging technology teams, and manufacturing, regulatory, research, supply chain, and commercial colleagues, we’re rethinking our packaging and reducing our environmental footprint.
Shifting Towards Sustainability Through Packaging
In Portugal, we invested in a system that allows us to shred waste cardboard on-site, which is reused as protective packaging in place of plastic protective pillows.

This strategic investment provides key data as we work towards improving the environmental footprint of our products. Find out more in our 2023 Sustainability Report.
