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.

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.

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.

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.

For the third year in a row, ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda achieved CarbonNeutral® product certification under The CarbonNeutral Protocol, covering 2024 emissions from raw material production to retail delivery in the U.S. (excludes use and disposal). Offsets sourced from solar power in India, improved cookstoves in Bangladesh, and rooftop solar in India.

In 2024 CDP Climate score was B, down from A- in prior year. Company attributes change to revised CDP questionnaire and scoring methodology, and is evaluating opportunities to strengthen response.

Contracted SGS North America to provide independent third-party verification of 2024 energy and GHG data collection process and emissions calculations; verification statement included in annual CDP Climate Change Response.

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.

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.

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.

Three significant historical corrections made in 2024: (1) methane emissions from on-site landfill were overestimated by ~10x — corrected downward; (2) purchased steam underreported due to meter issue corrected June 2023; site-specific emission factor adopted (44% higher per ton); (3) Montreal electricity emission factor switched from Canada-wide IEA factor to region-specific (lower). Also expanded scope to include electricity/gas from smaller sales offices estimated by square footage. Net effect: increased reported Scope 2 emissions in 2024.

Science-based targets validated by SBTi in July 2022: reduce absolute Scope 1+2 GHG emissions 46% below 2020 levels by 2031, and engage suppliers representing 75% of Scope 3 emissions to set their own SBTs by 2026. Commitment to maintain 100% renewable electricity.
