Reckitt Benckiser “doing our bit”

Our environmental commitment

• We have a real commitment to running our business in a responsible, environmentally sound and sustainable manner. We recognise that our processes and products have both direct and indirect environmental impacts and seek to achieve continuous improvement in our environmental performance.
• We are committed to using energy and natural resources wisely, eliminating and minimising waste where practical, and re-using and recycling where it is sensible to do so.
• We increasingly take a life cycle management approach to improving our sustainability performance. Our programmes look beyond the manufacturing activities under our direct control to the impacts of our supply chain and consumers use and disposal of our products and their packaging.
• Here is some of our progress:
• Energy Use: 20% reduction since 2000
• Waste Water: 5% reduction in wastewater discharges since 2000
• Waste: 17% reduction in total manufacturing waste between 2000 and 2005
