Edgewell Personal Care Releases its 2025 Sustainability Report

Edgewell Personal Care Co. has released its fiscal 2025 Sustainability Report. The report dives into the progress and achievements toward its Sustainable Care strategy, including progress on targets for printed packaging.

The FY25 report covers key sustainability topics as they relate to our strategy, across three pillars — our Brands, Operations and Supply Chain, and our People and Communities. Edgewell has a diversified portfolio of established brand names in the health and beauty market, including Schick and Wilkinson Sword men’s shaving products; Schick and Billie women’s shaving products; Edge and Skintimate shave preparations; Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, Bulldog, Jack Black, and Cremo sun and skin care products; and Wet Ones moist wipes.

Rod Little, President and Chief Executive Officer of Edgewell Personal Care, said, “Fiscal 2025 has been another year of progress in Edgewell’s transformation. This continued momentum reflects the effectiveness of our strategy and the business model we have been building as we focus on our brands, our consumers and operational excellence. Looking to the future, we remain committed to this important journey and to our Sustainable Care priorities. While the external environment will always be shifting, one thing is clear: Edgewell’s commitment to operating responsibly will remain steadfast. With consumers at the center of all that we do, I am confident that our sustainability strategy, innovation and leadership will continue to move us forward.”
