Why it
Matters
to Us
Plastic pollution is a global crisis affecting the health of our oceans and well-being of people everywhere. We pioneered the development and commercialization of biodegradable, plastic-free products and continue to innovate for sustainability. We also strive to reduce the incorrect disposal of our products through clear labeling on our packaging, making it easy for consumers to care for the plumbing and waste water treatment systems that keep our water clean and ecosystems healthy. A stable climate and human health are directly related. Leading the wet wipes industry on climate action supports our primary focus on protecting the health and wellbeing of people. In addition, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and climate impact affect our bottom line and the longevity of our business. Decreasing our carbon footprint reduces our long-term energy costs and protects our operations from the escalating physical risks of climate change. Some of our key product ingredients are derived from forest products. We are making investments to ensure that healthy, thriving forests will be able to support life for future generations. Educating our partners, associates, and consumers on the interconnected nature of forestry and human health is essential to advance understanding and action.
