Prestige Consumer Healthcare

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.

• Manufacturing site energy & natural gas consumption

  Prestige's two owned manufacturing sites (Lynchburg, Virginia and Briemar, Victoria) drive most operational energy use, with FY24 total energy of 77,489.59 GJ (51,421 GJ electricity, 26,069 GJ natural gas). Scope 1 emissions of 1,438 tCO2e and Scope 2 of 7,141 tCO2e reflect this manufacturing footprint. The EHS Manager and VP Manufacturing & Operations oversee site-level energy and emissions.

• Packaging material reduction and recyclable substitution

  Across brands Prestige is reducing material use and switching to recyclable inputs. DenTek shippers are now made of recycled material with SFI logo; dental Guards transitioned from plastic-windowed packaging to recyclable paperboard packaging consistent with SFI standards.

• Manufacturing waste reduction & landfill diversion

  At Lynchburg, total non-hazardous waste fell ~10% (from 1,246 t in FY23 to 509 t in FY24, though Briemar acquisition complicates comparability) primarily by decreasing hazardous-waste pickups and routing nonhazardous liquid through the discharge water permit. Recycling streams cover pallets, totes, cardboard, super sacks, bottles and nozzles.

• Manufacturing site waste & energy reduction

  At the Lynchburg, Virginia manufacturing site, Prestige reduced total waste by approximately 10% in FY24, primarily by decreasing hazardous waste pickups and utilizing the discharge water permit for nonhazardous liquid. This diverts waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions. Comprehensive recycling covers pallets, totes, cardboard, super sacks, bottles, and nozzles.

• Water conservation at manufacturing sites

  Lynchburg, VA is a no-exposure site with a sewer rebate program allowing unused water to recirculate back into the municipal system. Briemar (Victoria, Australia) uses backflow preventers, rainwater collection for toilet flushing, demand-based water systems, and a stormwater retention/filtration system. 0% of facilities are in high or extremely high baseline water stress areas per WRI Water Risk Atlas.

• Supplier Code of Conduct & contract manufacturer engagement

  Scope 3 (141,348 tCO2e) dominates Prestige's footprint at ~94% of total emissions, driven by purchased goods and the network of global suppliers and Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). Prestige requires suppliers to comply with the Supplier Code of Conduct, including waste reduction practices, and is 'developing a strategy for engaging with our supply chain and CMOs' on Rx-360 style audit programs for future disclosure.

• Product take-back via PPSWG / MED-Project

  Since 2014 Prestige has partnered with the Pharmaceutical Product Stewardship Work Group (PPSWG) under Extended Producer Responsibility, supporting consumer take-back through over 22,000 MED-Project verified kiosks worldwide for safe disposal of household medicines and sharps.

• Sustainable packaging — recycled and recyclable materials

  Prestige's DenTek brand achieved significant packaging milestones in 2024: all shippers are now made of recycled material with SFI logo signifying responsible forestry. Plastic windows were removed from dental Guards, transitioning to recyclable paperboard packaging consistent with SFI standards. The firm continues to evaluate materials to reduce use and increase recyclability across brands.

• Supplier Code of Conduct and value-chain engagement

  All suppliers must comply with Prestige's Supplier Code of Conduct, covering environmental responsibility, waste reduction, fair labor, and ethics. International distributors are vetted through a third party; high-risk distributors recertify annually. Non-compliance may trigger corrective action or termination.

• Take-back program for expired medications

  Since 2014 Prestige has partnered with the Pharmaceutical Product Stewardship Work Group (PPSWG) under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Via program operator MED-Project, consumers access over 22,000 verified kiosks worldwide for safe disposal of unwanted, unused, or expired medications.
