Planet
As stewards of our planet and leaders in our industry, we recognize the effect our work has on the world around us and the importance of innovation with a focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship. To improve our environmental impact, we are focused on two specific areas:
Promote environmental stewardship
We are continuously evaluating our operating processes and conducting environmentally-focused initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint, minimize material waste and prioritize recycling across the value chain. We are making progress to utilize recycled plastic or biodegradable polymer in products and packaging, and implement EPP standards as feasible.
