CLEAN CHEMISTRY

The presence of ecotoxic chemicals into natural environments is harmful to both plants and animals. We’re making our chemistry cleaner by reducing the environmental impact of our formulas and improving their biodegradability, all while ensuring they’re as safe as possible for people.

PLASTICS & CIRCULARITY

The accumulation of waste plastic in our oceans and terrestrial environments harms ecosystems and their inhabitants. To combat this, we’re working to make our packaging fully recyclable, replacing virgin plastic with recycled plastics.

FLOURISHING TEAM GOJO

People are at the heart of our journey to green, so we need to make sure we take care of them as we go. By improving working quality and safety for our teams, and by striving for equality and empowerment for all those who work for us, we’re investing in a better future.

RESILIENCE & CLIMATE RESPONSIBILITY

Reckless energy consumption and needless waste production result in more emissions and more solids sent to landfill. We’ve got our sights set on carbon neutrality, and are actively reducing the solid and liquid waste our operations produce.

SKINCARE RANGE
EU ECOLABEL

The European Ecolabel guarantees a high level of requirement in terms of limiting the impact of products on the environment and health, while maintaining their level of performance.

PURELL ES RANGE

PURELL ES RANGE
ECOLOGO

PURELL Healthy Soap

ECOLOGO certification attests to the product's compliance with the requirements established for its category, which are determined based on the most significant impacts using a life cycle approach.

CARBON FOOTPRINT ANALYSIS

We’ve completed an analysis of our current carbon footprint. Only by understanding the extent and causes of our current environmental impact could we create a plan to reduce it.

This analysis has given us a benchmark toimprove against, and led to the creation of the pledges you’ve seen above.

RECYCLED PET PLASTIC

GOJO is the first hand hygiene producer to use 100% PCR-PET for refills and packaging. PCR-PET stands for Post-Consumer Recycled Polyethylene terephthalate. It’s plastic that’s been recycled and turned into something new.

Life cycle analysis shows that our new PCR-PET refills produce 93.8% fewer greenhouse gasses compared to virgin PET.

SILVER ECOVADIS MEDAL

We’re thrilled that GOJO was awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal in 2022. EcoVadis is the largest and most reliable sustainability evaluator in our sector, and a Silver Metal puts GOJO in the top 25% of companies for environmental, social, and ethical performance.

But the journey doesn’t stop there, we’re aiming for an EcoVadis Gold Medal in 2023.
