Innovation and continuous improvement are foundational in our product development process. We have always included consideration for making our products perform better, while being more sustainable.

Our focus has led us to formalize and expand our Sustainability by Design program, which ensures we consider sustainable attributes in every innovation and product improvement process. From initial concept through commercialization, we consider ways to make our products perform better and be more sustainable by looking at chemical formulations, product performance, manufacturing processes, health and safety, and packaging, among other areas.

Our legacy of product stewardship is the foundation that enables us to pursue our Sustainability by Design and “sustainably advantaged products” programs. We are committed to delivering world-class products that are safe and effective when used as directed.

We have a proactive product stewardship strategy that guides all phases of our product development and is rooted in continuous improvement. It prioritizes recognizing and addressing the potential impacts of our products throughout their life cycle, from design and development through use and disposal and all steps in between. We assess each ingredient in a product formulation along with the combination of all ingredients in terms of human health, product safety, environmental impact, physical and chemical properties, and other information reflecting current best practices.
