HIGHEST IMPACT FOR BEST RESULTS
Reckitt’ s Scope 3 emissions reduction strategy targets the highest-impact categories where the company wields greatest influence. Most notably, productlevel modelling now accounts for the majority of ingredients and packaging impacts – purchased goods and services that represent more than half of all Scope 3 emissions. This granular approach enables easier identification of alternative, lowercarbon ingredients for raw materials, such as the bio-based citric acid now used in Harpic Power Plus Deep Clean tablets.
Outbound logistics, representing nearly 10 % of Scope 3 emissions, are being transformed through the company’ s green logistics programme. Reckitt collaborates with customers, suppliers and distribution centres to evaluate low-carbon road and sea freight options, including fuel switches, electric vehicle trials and scaling, plus targeted fuel and transport efficiencies through optimised loading.
Support for third-party manufacturers continues through the Supplier Environmental Performance Programme. In partnership with Manufacture 2030, Ricardo and Haleon, Reckitt has created a comprehensive toolkit helping suppliers improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental impact across their operations by building awareness of environmental standards whilst sharing best practice and guidance.
Tackling the Scope 3 challenge with AI Reckitt has committed to reducing its Scope 3 emissions by 50 % before 2030( using 2015 as a baseline) and reaching net-zero emissions by 2040. Having already exceeded its initial direct emissions reduction targets, Reckitt is now concentrating efforts on tackling Scope 3 emissions through strategic collaboration with an extensive supplier ecosystem.
Scope 3 emissions typically account for 96 % of total corporate emissions, making them critical to address. Reckitt has partnered with CO2 AI and Quantis to tackle the significant challenge, harnessing their combined sustainability
