Colgate Palmolive Company: Ethics and Society

Colgate Palmolive Company has three fundamental values: caring, global teamwork, and continuous improvement. Colgate Palmolive focuses on being ethical in all situations dealing with “Colgate people, customers, shareholders and business partners,” as well as protecting the environment. Working throughout the globe allows the Company to grow through technologies and talents abound in other nations. Products and services are continually enhanced to provide better goods for customers.

Seeing as one of Colgate Palmolive Company’s values is continuous improvement, they have and continue to achieve environmental good-doings in order to protect and better our environment. They have reduced waste and packaging. They had goals set up between the years of 2002 and 2010 to exceed environmental regulations: “reduce energy use per ton of production by 25%, reduce CO2 emissions per ton of production by 25%, reduce water use per ton of production by 40%, [and] reduce wastewater contaminants by 30%. “ Not only do their good deeds protect our world, but “it makes good business sense.” This is so because it proves to the community that this company cares about society, increases support for Colgate Palmolive.
