Working towards 100% renewable energy

When you are a global business consuming energy at 245 sites in more than 70 countries, ensuring that all your electricity and heat is from renewables is a challenge. So we’re working to increase our access to renewable electricity supplies and supporting innovations in thermal energy, such as piloting the use of hydrogen technology.

• Plastic is a valuable material, but it’s one we need to keep inside the circular economy – where it is reused, recycled or composted.
• In home care we are investing €1 billion over ten years to change the way our cleaning products are created, manufactured and packaged.
