Colgate Recognized for Sustained Excellence in
Standards of Energy Efficiency for 8th Year in a Row
Colgate-Palmolive Company today received a 2020 ENERGY
STAR® Partner of the Year Award for Sustained Excellence for
its continued leadership and superior contributions to ENERGY STAR.
This marks the 10th year that Colgate has been recognized as a
leader in energy efficient practices and 8th year receiving the
sustained excellence designation.
Guided by the Company’s overarching sustainability goals, the
Global Energy Reduction Team leads the technical implementation of
Colgate’s energy strategy within its manufacturing sites across the
world. In the past year, the team has also achieved measurable
changes in several ways, including:
- In Burlington, New Jersey, implementing solar panels at the
manufacturing plant as part of the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) certification for Zero Energy &
Carbon. These panels are responsible for 33% of the plant’s energy
and electricity needs.
- In China, replacing over one hundred high-energy motors with
low-energy motors on manufacturing equipment.
- In Mexico, substituting general service pumps with
high-efficiency pumps.
Colgate’s factories also participate in “Energy Treasure Hunts,”
three-day events that encourage participants to uncover causes of
energy waste and find opportunities for improvement. Since
implementing the program in 2012, Colgate has completed 34 Energy
Treasure Hunts and identified 1,962 energy reduction solutions with
an estimated energy savings of 349,754 MWh and 121,824 MT of
CO2.
“Energy management and the use of renewable energy sources are
two of the building blocks of Colgate’s greater sustainability
strategy,” said Ann Tracy, Chief Sustainability Officer. “As we
continue to make great strides toward our 2025 sustainability
goals, we are proud to be recognized by ENERGY STAR® for our
commitment to reducing emissions and eliminating energy waste.”
Colgate continues to make a concerted effort to mitigate the
negative impact of climate change by relying on energy efficiency,
supporting the development of low-carbon renewable energy supply,
and reducing emissions throughout its value chain. In the last
year, Colgate has been recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability
Indices as the top performing company in the Household Products
category, received a U.S. Green Building Council Leadership Award,
and was also named to EPA’s Green Power Partnership National Top
100. Additional details about Colgate’s energy management and
investment practices can be found in the Sustainability section of
Colgate’s website. For ongoing updates regarding Colgate’s
