Church & Dwight Co. Inc.

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

In 2024, 100% of operations' global electricity was procured from renewable sources, inclusive of RECs. Used ~151,000 MWh electricity, generated ~300 MWh through on-site solar (Folkestone UK plant began generating solar electricity in Q2 2024 — estimated 470,000 kWh annually, ~8% of site demand), and purchased >162,000 MWh of RECs plus additional 1,000 MWh to cover non-reporting locations. Continuing to evaluate long-term renewable energy opportunities including PPAs and additional on-site solar/wind.

Carbon offsets used to achieve carbon neutrality for owned/controlled operations and ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda product. Offsets obtained through Arbor Day Foundation, Pachema Inc., and Climate Impact Partners LLC; specific 2024 projects supporting baking soda carbon neutral certification included solar power in India, improved cookstoves in Bangladesh, and rooftop solar in India. Offsets are nature-based and avoidance credits rather than durable removals (DAC/BECCS). No explicit distinction between removals and offsets is made; classified as offsets retired.

• Process CO2 recovery and reuse at Old Fort, OH baking soda plant

  Completed engineering in 2024 for a system to capture and reuse fugitive process CO2 emissions in the baking soda manufacturing process — estimated to recover and reuse >7,000 metric tons of CO2 per year. System expected to be operational Q3 2025.

• Finished-goods transportation decarbonisation (NA)

  More than 80% of freight transported by carriers using zero-emission vehicles, advanced idle reduction, next-gen clean diesel, EPA SmartWay partnership, or improved aerodynamics. 91% of US domestic carrier partners (by spend) are SmartWay certified members. Large portions of freight shipped via rail instead of trucks. Targeted Scope 3 transport emissions down ~1% in 2024.

• Natural gas / steam reduction & process efficiency

  Natural gas is the primary energy source (50% of total energy use); purchased steam ~12%. 2024 natural gas use decreased 4%, but purchased steam increased 24% partly due to corrected meter readings. Assessed flue-gas carbon capture at largest natural-gas burning location but determined cost-prohibitive; pivoting to multiple smaller energy reduction projects. Set-point changes, compressed air leak detection, and operational improvements saved ~1.75M kWh in 2024.

• Product reformulation & packaging — concentrated detergents, laundry sheets, PCR plastic

  2022-2024 multi-year concentration of ARM & HAMMER and XTRA liquid laundry detergents reduced plastic ~9.1M lbs, corrugate ~9.4M lbs, water ~170,000 tons, and transport CO2 by ~11,200 metric tons. ARM & HAMMER Power Sheets launched in 2024 reduced plastic 238 tons, water 720,000 gallons, GHG 902 metric tCO2e vs traditional bottles. PCR raised to 22.9% average across global plastic packaging; virgin plastic reduced 29% vs 2017 baseline.

• Supplier engagement via CDP Supply Chain — SBT by 2026

  Joined CDP as Supply Chain Member in early 2023. In 2024, engaged suppliers representing 90% of domestic direct spend / ~$1B procurement / 54% of SBT Scope 3 target. Received climate responses from 66% of contacted suppliers (40% of targeted Scope 3 emissions); 21% of Scope 3 target emissions are with suppliers already having an SBT. Goal: suppliers representing 75% of Scope 3 emissions establish own SBTs by 2026.
