NEW TOOL RECYCLING PROGRAM

Recycle your old, worn-out tools. We’re scaling up our recycling partnership with Homeboy Industries, a non-profit organization that recycles unwanted electronics through their social enterprise—Homeboy Electronics Recycling—while employing individuals who face systematic barriers to work. Our 2023 goal is to recycle an estimated 6 tons or 12,000 pounds of old tools to keep them out of landfills, while promoting work for previously incarcerated people.

SPICE INITIATIVE

We’ve joined the Sustainable Packaging Initiative for Cosmetics (SPICE), which brings together industry peers to drive the future of sustainable packaging. We’re decreasing our virgin plastic use by transitioning to post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging, redesigning product caps, and eliminating plastic bags for retail use and single-dose packaging in our hospitality business.

CARBON NEUTRAL COMMITMENTS

We’re measuring, reducing and offsetting our emissions, and are committed to reaching Climate Neutrality by 2050. We are proud to work with TerraPass™ to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation, or (REDD+.)

What is a carbon offset? A quality carbon offset like REDD+ projects mitigate emissions by reducing, avoiding, or removing carbon from the atmosphere while presenting co-benefits such as improving livelihoods, conserving biodiversity and contributing to a host of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. While carbon offsets are a good step in the right direction, our long-term strategy will be to be decarbonize our business where possible.
