(GBCI). Currently, our manufacturing facilities in all our geographies and certain offices and warehouses are using the TRUE® Zero Waste approach and tools. TRUE Zero Waste facilities also meet high standards with respect to energy and water efficiency. Achieving TRUE Zero Waste Certifications Achieving TRUE Zero Waste certifications at 100% of our operations is one of our 2025 Sustainability targets. In 2021, six more of our sites achieved TRUE certification, including our first warehouse to be certified in Guayaquil, Ecuador. That brings the total number of TRUE certified sites, as of December 31, 2021, to 26, spread across five continents in 16 countries. Colgate was also the first company to achieve this certification in Ecuador and Mexico. As of December 31, 2021, 71% of all of Colgate’s products are being produced at TRUE Zero Waste facilities. Our site in Turkey, the Gebze plant, achieved TRUE certification in 2021. This site found alternative uses for non-recyclable wast e, implemented a food waste composting program and reduced inbound and outbound packaging waste. The TRUE Zero Waste program also encourages employee engagement to find unique ways to manage waste diversion. In Turkey, they collected and recycled plastic caps from bottles and donated the proceeds to the Turkey Spinal Cord Injury Association. PAGE 70 2021 SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL IMPACT REPORT
