Greener ways to clean

What is "Our Home Our Planet?"

  • Here at Reckitt Benckiser we are constantly striving to find new ways to limit the effect that our products may have on the environment. Because of this, we have grouped together a number of our well known brands, and our aim is to substantially reduce their impact on climate change. In fact, we are so committed to this issue that we are reducing our products’ Total Carbon Footprint by 20% per unit by 2020, which is equivalent to removing the carbon impact of almost 1 million cars.*

  • With each of the brands we are continually working to minimise their environmental impact in sourcing, manufacturing packaging and distribution. You can click here to see how we are “doing our bit”. In addition to this, we are carbon neutral in our manufacturing facilities through our Trees for Change programme. We’ve already planted more than 2 million trees since 2006 which will absorb over 1 million tonnes of CO2 over the next 80-100 years. This is the equivalent of removing the carbon impact of 287000 cars.

  • The World Land Trust’s mission is to work with local, in-country non-governmental conservation organisations to preserve the world's most biologically important and threatened lands.
  • Since its founding in 1989 WLT has helped to purchase and protect over 375,000 acres of habitats rich in wildlife.
  • The World Land Trust recognises the efforts and the commitments we are making to reduce our impact on climate change and protect the biodiversity of the planet.
