Commitment to reduce our carbon footprint

Did you know that the majority of consumers globally now want the brands they buy to help them live a more environmentally conscious lifestyle? And the science is clear — we need to take urgent, decisive action. At Gillette, we want to make it easy for you and all our users to make more sustainable choices. As part of P&G's 2040 Net Zero commitment, Gillette is working on a plan — from the materials we source to the way we ship our products. We've also set interim targets for 2030 to make meaningful progress when it's needed: now. To reach our goals, we will need to leverage both existing solutions and seek out transformative new ones. This will require invention, creativity, and partnership, with more work to come as we progress on this journey.

Objectifs pour 2030
① Accelerate the circular economy

① ACCELERATE THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

With every new product, we are finding ways to make Gillette's production more sustainable, and Gillette's products more durable.

Design plays an important role to help accelerate the circular economy.

Concrete Action

We have reduced our energy use across our plants over the last twelve years by more than 359,000 GJs (Gigajoule), enough energy to power more than 16 million homes for 1 year. We've also reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 76%* in the same period; that is equivalent to more than 65,000MT (Metric Tonnes).

76% EMISSIONS REDUCTION*

We have reduced our energy use across our plants over the last twelve years by more than 359,000 GJs (Gigajoule), enough energy to power more than 16 million homes for 1 year. We've also reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 76%* in the same period; that is equivalent to more than 65,000MT (Metric Tonnes).

And that's just the start. We are committed to keep reducing our emissions at least 50% by 2030 through the adoption of 100% renewable purchased electricity, and further electrifying our business.
