82 SUSTAINABILITY PRODUCT FORMULATION GREEN CHEMISTRY We incorporate green chemistry principles in our product development process. We have spent many years collaborating with experts in the field, assessing our own internal capabilities, and developing tools to enable our teams to seamlessly leverage green chemistry in their daily work. Our approach encompasses ingredient scoring, ingredient innovation, and product design. Along side these processes, we focus our efforts on our talent. We continually train and empower our chemists on green principles and practices so that our collective mindset is to strive for improved green chemistry performance. GREEN SCORE PROGRAM AND GREEN FORMULA DESIGN FRAMEWORK Our Green Score program provides a quantifiable method for our formulators to benchmark and inform their formulation choices based on the principles of green chemistry, specifically through the lenses of human health, ecosystem health, and the environment. We have assigned green scores to thousands of our active ingredients and formulas. To design a finished product with a favorable green score takes skillful product formulation capabilities. Our Green Formula Design Framework helps our formulators understand the nuances of combining ingredients based on their green scores. It enables them to better evaluate green chemistry improvements for formulas while continuing to create the high-performance products that our consumers expect. With the Green Score program now integrated across our product development process, we have visibility into the green score for new product launches. This data are providing valuable insights that are guiding the evolution of the program. ELC employee at our Research Park facility in Melville, New York
