National, June 27, 2025: Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE), the maker of well-known consumer health brands such as Neutrogena®, Listerine®, Aveeno®, and Tylenol®, has released its second annual Healthy Lives Mission Report, highlighting its environmental and social impact progress during 2024. The report outlines developments across three core pillars: Healthy People, Healthy Planet, and Healthy Practice.
The company reported a 37% reduction in operational (Scope 1 and 2) emissions from a 2020 base year and expanded the use of renewable electricity to 72% across global operations. Additionally, 69% of packaging across Kenvue’s portfolio is now recyclable or refillable, as the company works toward a 100% goal by 2025.
“Having some of the most recognizable consumer brands in the world gives us a tremendous opportunity to create a positive impact for the millions of people we touch every day,” said Thibaut Mongon, Chief Executive Officer, Kenvue. “Whether improving our packaging to be more sustainable, advancing the decarbonization of our operations, or giving back to our communities, our sustainability strategy is helping meet customer and consumer expectations, and deliver everyday care for generations to come.”
In India, Kenvue has focused its social impact efforts on three areas: Hydration & Well-Being, Maternal and Neonatal Health, and Girl Child Education. A key initiative under Hydration & Well-Being is the public health campaign “Diarrhoea Se Darr Nahi,” launched in collaboration with Population Services International India (PSI India). The program aims to reach 5 million children under the age of five in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar over the next two years.
As part of its maternal and neonatal health commitment, Kenvue supports the Indian Academy of Paediatrics’ “First Golden Minute” Neonatal Resuscitation Program, which equips healthcare providers to handle neonatal asphyxia—a major contributor to infant mortality.
In the area of education, Kenvue is implementing programs to improve awareness and practices related to reproductive health, gender sensitivity, and personal hygiene in schools.
“At Kenvue India, we are committed to improving everyday care through products like ready-to-drink hydration solutions, affordable feminine hygiene offerings as well as our social impact initiatives. We have identified three essential pillars in our social impact strategy including Hydration & Well-Being, Maternal and Neonatal Health, and Girl Child Education where we believe we can create meaningful impact. Through our programs and partnerships, we are committed to creating long-term value for our consumers and communities,” said Manish Anandani, India Managing Director, Kenvue.
In terms of sustainability achievements in India, Kenvue’s manufacturing plant in Maharashtra became the first globally within the company to achieve PLATINUM level certification under the Total Resources Use and Efficiency (TRUE) program for Zero Waste, awarded by the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI).
The company has also introduced the Sustainable Innovation Profiler, a tool to evaluate a product’s environmental performance and guide product design choices. This approach has led to improvements in packaging, such as redesigned OGX® shampoo bottles made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and an 85% reduction in plastic waste in Nicorette® Icy Mint Lozenge packaging.
