Colgate-Palmolive India met its 2025 sustainability targets, cutting carbon emissions by 43% compared to a baseline and switching to 100% recyclable toothpaste tubes. The company now runs on 60% renewable electricity and has introduced a new 2030 SMILE strategy aimed at reaching net-zero emissions by 2040. The 2030 plan includes reducing virgin plastic use by 33% and expanding social impact programs. For investors and sustainability watchers, the key question is how the company will close the gap from 60% to 100% renewable electricity and whether the plastic reduction targets align with India's evolving Extended Producer Responsibility rules.
