SUSTAINABILITY
From 333 products to complete portfolio coverage This technological advancement has enabled remarkable improvements in data coverage. One brand successfully expanded its analysis from 18 representative products to 2,190 distinct items, effectively quadrupling the emissions factors utilised and creating opportunities for focused supplier and ingredient-level interventions.
Within four months, Reckitt achieved precise emissions data coverage for all 25,000 products in its portfolio, enhancing the accuracy of its emissions footprint by 75-fold – expanding from 333 representative products to complete product coverage. This comprehensive dataset has unveiled new pathways for achieving 2030 emissions reductions while making substantial progress towards the aforementioned net-zero objective.
Through ingredient analysis, the partnership examined the top 25 substances that generate the majority of raw material and packaging emissions. These insights now inform ingredient selection decisions, product development processes and supplier engagement strategies focused on collaborative emission reduction actions.
Reckitt is equipping operational teams across its Brands, R & D and Procurement functions to drive meaningful action. These teams now have access to tools that visualise how their specific initiatives contribute to Reckitt’ s broader sustainability objectives, cultivating accountability throughout the entire organisation.
