By the numbers: How Kenvue’s Healthy Lives Mission is making an impact

At Kenvue, we touch the lives of more than one billion people all over the world, and we know that our impact is made through moments of care. It's felt through our iconic brands and the actions we take to protect our environment.

Our Healthy Lives Missionenvironmental, social and governance strategy is built on 20 goals and commitments that hold us accountable for progress and help drive impact in the areas where we are positioned to make a difference for both people and planet.

So, here's a by-the-numbers look at some of Kenvue's efforts when it comes to our Healthy Lives Mission pillars- Healthy People, Healthy Planet and Healthy Practice.

Healthy People

Our work is to put the power of everyday care into the hands of consumers around the world. We do this by raising the standard of personal care and equipping people with innovative products and tools to make healthier decisions every day. We also believe in fostering an inclusive, equitable and diverse workplace culture and creating a sense of belonging for all.

50%

We made a commitment to strengthen the representation of women at all management levels¹ to reflect the markets in which we operate. At the end of 2023, on average, 50% of the roles at the Manager, Director, Vice President level and above are women. In addition, 54% of the Kenvue Leadership Team are women.

25,000

Kenvue worked with Heart to Heart International,a healthcare charitable organization, to develop 25,000 Kenvue Hygiene Kits, inclusive of products like body wash, shampoo and hand soap, to be used in emergency and relief settings. The first shipment of these hygiene kits was sent to support relief work in Ukraine.

444,000

In 2023, the Aveeno® SkinVisibility program - which seeks to drive equitable access to educational tools, resources and products for eczema diagnoses and care on skin of color - set out to help 200,000 Black women and women of color get access to culturally sensitive healthcare providers and receive resources on treating eczema-prone skin. The iconic brand not only exceeded its goal but also helped 444,000 Eczema Warriors, those who are battling the skin condition.

Healthy Planet

Healthy people need a healthy planet on which to thrive. We're working to advance sustainability across our operations - from product and packaging design to material sourcing, manufacturing and transportation.

65%

We're increasing our use of renewable electricity to help reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Company-wide, renewable electricity sources cover approximately 65% of our electricity usage.

18

We've also built 18 fully operational onsite solar-powered electricity systems across 12 countries to support our goal of achieving 100% renewable electricity² for our operations³ by 2030^{4, 5}.

50%

We've committed to a 50% reduction of virgin plastic⁶ in packaging⁷ by 2030⁵ (from a 2020 base year). We are reducing our use of virgin plastic through innovative packaging that uses less, refills more, or recycles easily or replaces virgin material with renewable or recycled feedstocks.

Healthy Practice

The Kenvue Purpose, to realize the extraordinary power of everyday care, guides our belief in promoting a culture of integrity, ethics and transparency to build trust and create meaningful, long-term value for all our stakeholders.

75%

Sustainable product innovation is a key part of our efforts to deliver products that support healthy people and a healthy planet. That's why 75% of new product development,⁸ using scientific principles,⁹ will have an improved environmental performance¹⁰ by 2030.⁵

Continuing the Kenvue Healthy Lives Mission

In the past year, we have made meaningful progress with our Healthy Lives Mission strategy. As a global leader in consumer health, we will continue to draw on our brands, resources and platforms to help shape a healthy future for both people and planet.

1. All management levels include manager, director, vice president and above.
2. Renewable energy source is an energy source that is capable of being replenished in a short time through ecological cycles or agricultural processes (e.g., biomass, geothermal, hydro, solar, wind). Renewable electricity targets are achieved through a combination of actions, including on-site solar, virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs), direct power purchase agreements (PPAs), energy attribute certificates (EACs), also known as renewable electricity certificates (RECs), and green retail contracts.
3. Applies to all Kenvue-owned facilities where Kenvue has operational control, regardless of building type; all leased facilities used for manufacturing and/or research and development; and leased, non-manufacturing and/or non-research and development facilities where the facility is greater than 50,000 square feet and where Kenvue has operational control. The 2020 baseline and all subsequent reporting years include all facilities aligned to Kenvue's structure upon separation from Johnson & Johnson in 2023 and do not include any operational or organizational exclusions. Scope 1 are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that Kenvue directly generates - e.g., running boilers and vehicles using fossil fuels. Fleet emissions are reported as CO2 and do not include other greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 2 are GHG emissions that Kenvue indirectly generates - from electricity or energy purchased for heating and cooling buildings.
4. Inventory and reporting are aligned with RE100 technical criteria and supplemented by CDP.
5. We aim to meet the goal by end of fiscal year and publish the year after.
6. Virgin plastic means newly manufactured resin produced from petrochemical feedstock used as the raw material for the manufacture of plastic products and which has never been used or processed before.
7. Packaging for direct purchases may not include all externally manufactured products. Total weight of plastics packaging is calculated utilizing 2024 Business Plan volume and is not trued up to actual sales. Manual adjustments of <10% were made to 2024 Business Plan volume based on SME judgment to remove materials not assumed to contain plastics.
8. New product development includes improvement of existing product or new products in each calendar year.
9. Scientific principles are defined across four pillars - carbon footprint, green chemistry, sustainable packaging and product environmental footprint.
10. Improved environmental performance is defined as improvement in one or more of the four pillars, with no regression compared to the baseline product, measured using Kenvue's Sustainable Innovation Profiler (SIP).
