Protecting Our Planet

We are working to achieve 100% of packaging to be recyclable by 2030 with significant progress made by 2023. In addition, the company will increase post-consumer recycled (PCR) content in its offerings.

Our refillable razors (like Fusion and MACH3) will provide up to one month of close, comfortable shaves and these handles will last for years!

Our disposable razors are designed to deliver up to ten comfortable shaves per razor, helping to extend the razor’s life for consumers who prefer this form.

We are testing new durable packaging in several markets to help discourage packaging disposal and conserve resources.

We launched the first razor recycling program in partnership with Terracycle in the U.S. in 2019, enabling consumers to return all types of razors for repurposing. We are now working to bring this program to more locations around the world.

We’re proud that we have achieved ‘Zero Manufacturing Waste to Landfill’ status across our global network of plants – and were one of the first in the industry to do so.

We plan to achieve a 35% reduction in water consumption per production by 2030.

We’ve reduced our energy use across our plants over the last ten years by 392,851GJs (Gigajoule). This is enough energy to power more than 17 million homes. We are committed to do more – and are working to achieve 100% renewable purchased electricity by 2030, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions for manufacturing by 50%.

Every new Gillette product is responsibly tested by thousands of consumers before launch.

We test every new Gillette razor with thousands of consumers before launching; and inspect every Gillette razor blade over 75 times on average.

We lead the industry in R&D with experienced scientists, researchers and engineers – and have been making razors for well over a century.

Our products are endorsed by dermatologists around the world, including leading scientific organizations like the Skin Health Alliance, the British Skin Foundation, Dermatology Review Panel (DRP) in Canada and the Deutsche Haut- und Allergiehilfe (DHA) in Germany and more.

We participate in the Smart Label program in the U.S. to promote ingredient transparency for consumers. We are also working to include product ingredient lists on our websites around the world.

We introduced our first-ever shaving prep– made without dyes, parabens, and SLS sulphates in 2019.

Our razors include blades that are designed for easy rinsing to reduce the time and water required during the shave.

We are committed to raising awareness to help conserve water during the shaving process.

We introduced the world’s first waterless razors for ‘assisted shaving’, Gillette Treo, designed to improve the lives of the millions of men and women who need day-to-day caregiver support.
