Reducing and Managing Waste

Impact Objective: 100% Zero Waste to Landfill for global manufacturing and distribution sites by 2040.

See Our Plan


We actively reduce waste across our global manufacturing sites and distribution centers by targeting waste at its source and improving waste management practices.

By targeting waste at its source and minimizing landfill waste in our manufacturing and distribution sites, we are improving the efficiency of our operations. Progress requires cross-functional collaboration across EH&S, facilities and sourcing – as well as engagement from our global employee base to cultivate and practice sound waste stewardship at the site level.
