Our three-part initiative to advance environmental stewardship
Innovating operations to reduce environmental impact
We're reducing emissions and waste, replacing older technologies and vehicles, and revolutionizing our facilities and packaging. We understand our role in helping to protect and preserve our planet.
Taking action through research and development
We're not just interested in sustainability. We're invested. We've pledged $100 million to help establish the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture, where researchers will focus on ways to remove and store Earth's excess carbon. Additionally, we're teaming up with GM's Brightdrop to make delivery via electric vehicles a reality.
Inspiring others to act more sustainably
We’re in this together, and each of us plays a part. Whether you’re looking for ways to practice sustainability at home or at work, we can help. Get ideas on everything from reducing waste to adopting eco-friendly packaging. You can even learn how to cut costs in the process.
