Colgate’s commitment to energy efficiency is an important part of the Company’s global sustainability efforts.  Since the establishment of the Colgate Global Energy Reduction Team in 2003, Colgate has developed an effective energy management structure based on ENERGY STAR guidelines, conserving in our facilities and reducing the energy required to manufacture our products by about 26%.

“Innovative strategies in energy management are some of the most cost-effective ways to improve the bottom line in the places we live and work, said Bob Perciasepe, EPA Deputy Administrator. “Colgate’s leadership in energy management supports the well-being of American families while also helping to fight climate change.”
