As we are well on our way to achieving these goals and closing out 2020, we are now raising the bar with even bolder commitments, called Ambition 2030. In 2018, we released new sustainability goals called Ambition 2030. These wide-reaching goals have one purpose in mind: to enable and inspire a positive impact on our environment and society while creating value for us as a company and you as a consumer. In an effort to address two of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges – finite resources and growing consumption – we’ve focused our ambitious goals in these specific areas.

Brands Supply Chain Society Employees In a world where sustainable lifestyles have become more important than ever, we need brands to meet performance expectations while also helping to solve some of the most complex challenges facing our world. That’s why we’re working to make social and environmental responsibility an integral component of every brand in our portfolio. Here’s how. About 80% of a washing machine’s energy consumption comes from heating the water. By delivering a superior performance in quick, cold cycles, Ariel has been at the forefront of driving change, helping people get the clean they need while saving time, money and energy. In 2010, we set a goal to turn 70% of all washing machine loads globally into energy-efficient cycles by 2020. We’re pleased to report that we’ve reached our goal one year ahead of schedule. Across our global operations, we are making intentional choices to reduce the footprint of our suppliers, buyers and manufacturing sites – sourcing sustainable materials and exploring new business models to drive circular solutions. We’ve put more environmental sustainability goals in place to protect our water and find ways to repurpose waste. But we also know we can’t do it alone. Solving the biggest challenges we face will require collaboration, which is why we are focused on creating partnerships that will enable people, the planet and our business to thrive. Our organisation has made tremendous progress towards our goals, and that’s driven largely in part by the passion and ingenuity of our employees. If we want any chance of reaching our 2030 goals, we know how important it is to keep our people engaged and equipped. 9 January 2018 German sustainability partner to launch first Head & Shoulders shampoo bottle with 20% beach plastic Our Head & Shoulders brand kicked off 2018 with a new collaboration with an industry partner.
