Our Sustainability Journey

Energizer Holdings’ commitment to sustainability is rooted in our corporate purpose of responsibly creating products that enhance people’s lives. We strive to achieve impactful results while safeguarding the environment, supporting local communities, and fostering a safe and inclusive workplace for our colleagues. At Energizer, we believe in doing the right thing, and we focus on reducing the impact our company and its products have on the environment. Through various efforts including sustainable product development, packaging improvements, and waste reduction efforts, we are careful to make choices that ensure the availability of natural resources for generations to come. We participate in partnerships, colleague-led grassroots programs and volunteer efforts to make a positive contribution to the areas in which our offices operate.

Our Sustainability Strategy

Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy is founded on both an internal and external materiality approach, which is outlined in detail in our sustainability report. Our materiality work in conjunction with years of ESG data from our sustainability platform has shaped our three core ESG goals. These goals guide our program and help us to stay focused on the agreed-upon areas for improvement.

Climate and Energy – 30% reduction of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2030.
Sustainable Packaging – 30% post-consumer recycled content in our packaging by 2030. *Goal is measure by looking at all product packaging (including primary and secondary) by weight.
Product Sustainability – 100% of new products will have a sustainability assessment by 2030.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO

Empowering Life, Sustainably

As I look back at our accomplishments of the past year, I continue to be in awe of our colleagues, our initiatives and the progress we have made on our 2030 ESG Roadmap. As a global, forward-thinking organization, it is so important for us to operate with excellence and always strive for more, and I’m proud of what we’ve been able to achieve together. Energizer’s three focus areas serve a unique and important purpose, and I am excited to once again highlight our global team’s accomplishments for fiscal year 2024.

Climate and Energy

Reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 27,000 MTCO2e between 2021 and 2024, getting us to 70% of our climate emissions goal.

Conducted a double materiality assessment to refresh our priorities for the future, identify any additional risks and opportunities throughout our operations, and prepare for future reporting obligations across the globe.

Acquired a facility in Brazil that sources 100% of its electrical power from solar panels, increasing our global commitment to renewable energy.

Continued to collaborate and plant trees with Plant for the Planet and Reforest Action, reaching 150,000 trees planted since 2021.

PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY & SAFETY

Successfully achieved our goal to establish a sustainability assessment in our New Product Development process across all of our categories.

Rolled out the world’s first coin lithium battery* featuring 3-in-1 Child Shield with three lines of defense: Color Alert, a bitter coating and child-resistant packaging.

RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING

Following our successful transition to plastic free battery packaging in Europe, in the fall of 2024, we also began installing plastic-free packaging lines at our largest battery manufacturing plant in Asheboro, North Carolina.

Exceeded our sustainable packaging goal of 30% recycled content by 2030, with a total of 53% recycled content in our packaging for FY24.

As we continue to meet (or exceed) our ESG goals and grow our program, we also reflect on what makes us so successful: our purpose to responsibly create products that make lives better. Our significant progress on our sustainability roadmap is due to our colleagues and stakeholders around the world, and I look forward to celebrating more successes in the coming years.

*Available on Energizer 2032 coin lithium batteries in North America and 2032, 2025, and 2016 in our international markets
