Our Sustainable Care Pledge.

Healthy planet.​

1. Applies to direct emissions from our wholly owned manufacturing sites and indirect emissions from purchased electricity used to power our wholly owned manufacturing sites.
2. Applies to renewable electricity purchased for our wholly owned manufacturing sites including from PPAs, RECs, and GOs. Our Megrine site in Tunisia is currently excluded from this scope due to limited renewable energy sourcing options, based on prevailing local conditions.
3. Applies to fossil fuel-based plastic, by weight based on packaging produced at wholly owned manufacturing sites.
4. Recycle-ready packaging refers to packaging designed for recycling, where appropriate local recycling infrastructure exists. This metric is calculated by weight (tonnage) based on packaging used at our wholly owned manufacturing sites.
5. Applies to wholly owned manufacturing sites. A site is considered landfill-free when less than 1% of its operational waste is landfilled, excluding soil decontamination waste, and where local infrastructure allows.
6. Applies to all sources of water withdrawal (e.g., municipal, surface, groundwater) from all our wholly owned manufacturing sites.
7. Share of paper packaging used for consumer-facing products manufactured at our wholly owned sites that is sourced from certified sustainable or recycled sources (e.g., FSC, SFI and PEFC).

Healthy society.

1. Metric scope is global and data from all applicable jurisdiction is consolidated. “Senior leaders” refers to the top two levels of the Opella organization: Senior Managers & Executives.
2. Unique Media Reach (Metheringham Method): It refers to the estimated number of unique individuals exposed to a media campaign, calculated using a statistical model that accounts for repeated exposures. It counts how many distinct people see an ad, not just how often it is shown. This helped us calculate the number of “unique reach” we had with our educational campaigns on healthy behaviours.
3. This metric reflects individuals who directly benefit from our actions, such as i) Installation of water filters, ii) Air quality assessments in schools and iii) Health literacy programs promoting healthier behaviours. We focus exclusively on direct beneficiaries, and this data is collected in close partnership with the NGOs implementing these initiatives. Data is provided annually by partner NGOs. Then our internal team controls values. B4SI and an external party provide us with an external control of the data provided and proof that values are correct.
