ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda is CarbonNeutral® certified*
By measuring our carbon footprint and reducing it to zero through our internal reductions and purchase of carbon credits to offset emissions, in line with The CarbonNeutral® Protocol.
*Offsets cover 2023 emissions from raw material production to retail customer delivery in the U.S., excludes use and disposal. See below for more information.
HOW WE ACHIEVED
CarbonNeutral® CERTIFICATION
We’ve measured our carbon footprint and are reducing it to zero through internal reductions and offsetting.
MEASUREThrough lifecycle analysis, we calculated the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere through the raw material sourcing, production and distribution to retailers of domestic Baking Soda. This analysis was conducted by an independent third party, according to the requirements of the International Standard ISO 14044 (ISO, 2006), and was critically reviewed.
REDUCEWe are pursuing energy reduction projects at our production facilities and working toward longer-term emissions reduction targets in accordance with our application to the Science-Based Targets initiative.
OFFSETWe purchased carbon credits, equal to one ton of verified emissions reductions each, to offset all unavoidable annual emissions. We've purchased carbon credits in connection with four emission reduction project areas globally: wind power in India and in Nicaragua, improved cookstoves in Bangladesh, and a rooftop solar program in India.
Power to Make a Positive Impact
Our efforts globally have helped support these projects that are creating verified emissions reductions.
Wind Power in India
Using grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources, this project helps provide more sustainable energy.
300 MW Wind Power Project in Gujarat. Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources (Project registry number GS7745. ACM0002).
Better Cookstoves in Bangladesh
These efforts help promote energy efficiency, one meal at a time.
GHG Emission Reduction Through Use Of Bondhu Chula (Improved Cookstoves) In Bangladesh—GS MS Simplified Methodology for Efficient Cookstoves v 1. (Project registry number GS3112)
Wind Power in Nicaragua
Residents can now rely on more power while requiring fewer resources.
Amayo Phase II Wind Power Project—Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources. (Project registry number GS828. ACM0002)
Solar Rooftops in India
This initiative taps into the earth’s most powerful reliable energy resource—the sun.
Orb Energy Solar Program in India—Thermal energy production with or without electricity (Project registry number GS4289. AMS-I.C).
CarbonNeutral® product certification excludes use and disposal. Carbon credits cover 2023 emissions from raw material production to retail customer delivery in the U.S., excluding use and disposal. Church & Dwight is purchasing the carbon credits from Climate Impact Partners. CarbonNeutral® claim independently certified by Climate Impact Partners, as per The CarbonNeutral® Protocol. Carbon credits purchased for each of the projects listed are derived from avoided emissions and fall in the Gold Standard Project Registry.

Help Us Do More
Science-Based Targets Initiative
Church & Dwight, the parent company of ARM & HAMMER, submitted an application to the Science Based Targets initiative establishing reduction targets in line with limiting warming to 1.5°C for scope 1 and 2 emissions and below 2°C for scope 3 targets over 10 years, in accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement and IPCC.

The Arbor Day Foundation
Through our partnership, we’ve helped plant nearly 5 million trees in the Mississippi River Valley, one of the most critical wetlands in North America. By supporting this project, we have reduced our company’s carbon footprint by over 144,000 metric tons since 2017 – that’s the estimated equivalent of removing 31,000 cars from the road!

Green-e
100% of the electricity used to manufacture our products at Church & Dwight plants is matched with Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECS”), primarily from wind energy. Our company obtains independent certification of our renewable energy and REC purchases for qualifying brands through the Center for Resource Solutions Green-e® certification program, which is an independent consumer protection program for the sale and purchase of renewable energy and greenhouse gas reductions in the retail market.
