<strong>Colgate</strong> is committed <strong>to</strong> conducting its business in an environmentally<br />
sound manner. As discussed in <strong>the</strong> Performance section, exciting innovations<br />
and opportunities in new products and packaging continue <strong>to</strong> reduce<br />
<strong>the</strong> environmental footprint of <strong>the</strong> products <strong>Colgate</strong> consumers trust.<br />
<strong>Colgate</strong>’s commitment <strong>to</strong> reducing <strong>the</strong> environmental impact of its 60+<br />
manufacturing operations around <strong>the</strong> world means more than just recycling<br />
paper and reducing waste.<br />
After setting ambitious 2002 <strong>to</strong> 2010 goals <strong>to</strong> reduce energy use,<br />
greenhouse gas emissions, water use and wastewater loading (defined<br />
as chemical oxygen demand), <strong>Colgate</strong> people put plans in place <strong>to</strong><br />
meet or exceed <strong>the</strong> goals. From innovative energy-efficient manufacturing<br />
processes <strong>to</strong> new cleaning methods and water use efficiency<br />
technologies, <strong>Colgate</strong> people have worked <strong>to</strong> reduce <strong>the</strong> company’s<br />
environmental footprint.<br />
