Business practices mindful of the planet
Our purpose is to improve the health and well-being of people everywhere. To fulfill this goal, we must protect the environments in which we work and live. We have long recognized the critical interdependence between human health and the health of our planet. We understand that environmental degradation threatens human health, and that we have a responsibility to protect the environment. To help us reduce our environmental footprint, we established Healthy Planet goals in the areas of energy use, water use, paper and packaging, waste reduction, product stewardship, biodiversity, and others. In developing these goals, we sought counsel from many stakeholders, including government officials, environmental groups, other companies and academic thought leaders. We are confident that our Healthy Planet goals will help safeguard the health of our planet.
