Energy Reduction Teams Colgate’s Global Energy Reduction Team leads the technical implementation of Colgate’s energy strategy by setting annual objectives and developing tools and programs to help our sites reach their energy reduction targets. This cross-functional global team is composed of individuals with expertise and passion for reducing Colgate’s energy use and GHG emissions. For 18 years, this dedicated team has continued to focus on supporting our plants with many tools, activities and initiatives. Renewable Electric ity In 2021, we developed a R enewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) to help reach 100% renewable electricity across our operations. The REMP has been informed by third-party energy e xperts providing intelligence on the available tactics to obtain renewable electricity at each of our locations. Also, to help achieve our 100% renewable electricity by 2030 target across our operations, we have assigned responsibility for renewable energy to our division procurement leaders. The four primary tactics of the Renewable Energy Master Plan are: 1. On-Site Solar Generation 2. Utility Green Power 3. Verified Renewable Energy Certificates 4. Virtual Power Purchase Agreements Our REMP provides detai led visibility into the timelines and miles tones to reach 100% renewable electricity for each manufacturing site and Colgate- owned warehouse and office across the four tactics. In 2021, five new on-site solar installations were completed at Colgate f acilities in India, Turkey, Greece and two in the United States. In addition, our Burlington, New Jersey, location installed and activated solar panels that are capable of providing 100% of their onsite electricity load.
