The 2020 baseline and all subsequent reporting years include all facilities aligned to Kenvue’s structure upon separation from Johnson & Johnson in 2023 and do not include any operational or organizational exclusions. Scope 1 are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that Kenvue directly generates – e.g., running boilers and vehicles using fossil fuels. Fleet emissions are reported as CO2 and do not include other greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 2 are GHG emissions that Kenvue indirectly generates – from electricity or energy purchased for heating and cooling buildings.
4 The inventory was compiled in accordance with the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol – A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition 2013) including the amendment to this protocol, GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance (2015).
5 The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
6 Renewable energy source is an energy source that is capable of being replenished in a short time through ecological cycles or agricultural processes (e.g., biomass, geothermal, hydro, solar, wind). Renewable electricity targets are achieved through a combination of actions, including on-site solar, virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs), direct power purchase agreements (PPAs), energy attribute certificates (EACs), also known as renewable electricity certificates (RECs), and green retail contracts.
7 Recyclable also defined as recycle-ready is when packaging is designed for collection, sorting, and recycling using end-of-life processes, but where collection, sorting, and recycling infrastructure may not yet be in place for the packaging to actually be recycled. Best practices of “designing for recyclability" guidance for plastic-based packaging include the Association of Plastics Recyclers in the United States. Note: "Designed for recycling," "designed for recyclability," and "recycle ready" are also used interchangeably and reflect the same meaning.
8 Kenvue defines refillable or reusable packaging as packaging that is designed for either the business or the consumer to put the same type of purchased product back into the original packaging, is designed to be returnable and/or refillable, and accomplishes a minimum number of reuses by being part of a system that enables reuse.
9 Packaging for direct purchases, may not include all externally manufactured products. Total weight of plastics packaging is calculated utilizing 2024 Business Plan volume and is not trued up to actual sales. Manual adjustments of <10% were made to 2024 Business Plan volume based on SME judgment to remove materials not assumed to contain plastics.
10 Virgin plastic means newly manufactured resin produced from petrochemical feedstock used as the raw material for the manufacture of plastic products and which has never been used or processed before.
11 Volumes include direct purchases of primary and secondary packaging and leaflets. Volumes do not include the packaging materials sourced in some externally manufactured products.
12 Certification schemes accepted by Kenvue include FSC® or PEFC chain of custody standard, only when FSC® is not available.
13 Recycled includes both post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content; Verification of recycled content is conducted by an external third party (for example, Preferred by Nature). The information provided herein includes data from suppliers. While we strive to ensure the accuracy and completeness of this data, we recognize there may be limitations to its accuracy or comprehensiveness.
14 Improved environmental performance is defined as improvement in one or more of the four pillars, with no regression compared to the baseline product, measured using Kenvue’s Sustainable Innovation Profiler (SIP).
15 Scientific principles are defined across four pillars – carbon footprint, green chemistry, sustainable packaging, and product environmental footprint.
