Colgate-Palmolive Named to 2013-2014 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and the 2013 CDP Climate Disclosure Leadership Index

Published 10-01-13

Submitted by Colgate-Palmolive Company

Colgate-Palmolive has been named to the 2013-2014 Dow Jones Sustainability World and North America Indices, as well as CDP’s (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) Climate Disclosure Leadership Index for both the Global 500 and S&P 500 rankings.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) apply a “best-in-class” approach as a means to evaluate companies across all industries that continually intensify their sustainability initiatives and outperform their peers in numerous sustainability metrics. The Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) highlights those companies that have displayed a strong approach to the disclosure of information regarding climate change. The CDLI features companies that scored within the top ten percent for the quality of the data disclosed.

Colgate’s inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for the fifth consecutive year, and this year’s Climate Disclosure Leadership Index demonstrates the Company’s focus on long-term sustainability across all aspects of the business, from financial performance and human resources to environmental impact. Colgate remains committed to its global sustainability strategy and three major sustainability pillars – People, Performance and Planet – with focused, measurable goals in each area.

Colgate recognizes the responsibility businesses have concerning the global issue of climate change and is dedicated to continuously improving greenhouse gas governance and performance around this challenge. The Company’s 2015 goal is to reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions per unit of production associated with the manufacture and distribution of our products by 20 percent. Colgate is on track for this reduction, with a 15 percent reduction in energy and a 14 percent reduction in carbon emissions per unit of production in 2012 vs. 2005.
