Sustainability

Our approach to sustainability is rooted in our purpose of delivering meaningful improvements to the well-being of our stakeholders, communities, and the environment. We have and will continue to implement measures to use safer and more sustainable ingredients, reduce packaging and production waste, conserve water and energy, and support social and economic growth within our organization and communities.

Packaging Policy

Across our commercial and consumer product portfolios, our packaging elevates users' experiences with our products. But PurposeBuilt Brands' packaging does not start or end at the point of use; we choicefully manage our packaging material streams to minimize waste and reduce the environmental impact from production to disposal.

Chemical & Ingredient Policy

With cleaners designed for precise purposes and specific surfaces, selecting the appropriate chemicals is of critical importance to PurposeBuilt Brands. Our robust approach to product formulation balances efficacy, consumer health & safety, and environmental impact.

For the last five consecutive years, PurposeBuilt Brands was recognized by the EPA as a Safer Choice Partner of the Year.

This recognition reflects our company-wide commitment to sustainability. Throughout our organization - whether in Marketing, R&D, Manufacturing, or Sourcing - we continually look for ways to improve our products and processes for the well-being of consumers and the environment.

We are thrilled to announce nine of our products earned the prestigious Green Seal Certification in 2021!

Green Seal, a global nonprofit organization, has led the ecolabeling movement for the last 30 years. Their certification mark is a universal symbol that a product or service meets the highest benchmark of health and environmental leadership.

As part of our THRIVE program, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of teamwork, fun, recognition, inclusion, and connecting our values to our work. Through THRIVE, we empower our employees to engage with and give back to our communities, ensuring that our actions reflect our commitment to social responsibility. The Giving Back pillar of THRIVE exemplifies this dedication by organizing events that encourage volunteering and support organizations aligned with our mission. We’ve already seen success with initiatives like our employee donation closet, toy drive, and annual day of service. These efforts are focused on making a tangible difference in the local communities where we operate, including Gurnee, IL, Arvada, CO, Somers, WI, and Manchester, TN. Additionally, we proudly sponsor the Northern Illinois Food Bank, further strengthening our impact on those in need.

Through THRIVE, we aim to connect our employees not just with PBB, but also with each other, and the communities we serve, creating a positive cycle of engagement and giving that aligns with our core values.
