Colgate’s Progress on Reducing Environmental Impacts

For Colgate, reducing our environmental impact is an important part of our commitment to respecting the world around us. Colgate’s approach goes beyond simply complying with environmental regulations. We have set global goals to improve our water use and energy use efficiency, and to reduce the carbon emissions and wastewater contaminants associated with our operations. Goals in all of these areas are set globally, and all businesses, divisions and sites track and report on their progress. We have made significant progress toward reducing our impact, yet we acknowledge there is still much to be done.
