  • Continued working toward its goal of a 15% reduction in emissions related to energy consumption per unit of product produced by 2025

Product Innovation and Recycling:

  • Increased the use of recycled materials in aerosol packaging to 25%, and incorporated 25% post-consumer recycled plastic into glass cleaner bottles
  • Introduced bottles for glass cleaner in 2023 that utilize 25% post-consumer recycled plastic, while suppliers also provided corrugated packaging containing about 40% post-consumer recycled materials
  • Reformulated 42 products to eliminate perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from products to align with current and upcoming regulations

Employee Health and Safety:

  • Lowered Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) by 30% this year, a better than industry average injury rate
  • Delivered online health and safety training to 100% of employees
  • Invested in an EHS data management system to further enhance visibility into safety performance in the future

Supply Chain Responsibility and Consolidation:

  • Implemented the EcoVadis rating, a third-party sustainability rating program, to improve supplier ESG performance, targeting 25% of direct material spend with EcoVadis-participating providers
  • Committed 80% of PLZ’s supplier spend “in region,” to minimize shipping costs and reduce carbon footprint

“We are incredibly proud of the ESG progress we made last year, not only in terms of sustainability and operational efficiency, but also in how we support and engage our employees, partners, and communities,” said Brett Finley, CEO at PLZ Corp. “Looking ahead, we remain focused on building on this momentum and setting even more ambitious goals to enhance our environmental and social impact.”
