Energizer is one of the world’s most recognizable battery brands. And with $1.63 billion revenue in 2015 alone, it has a massive supply and distribution network. But while Energizer touts “do the right thing” as its environmental mantra, we want to know if Energizer will live up to its word by addressing carbon emissions in its supply chain.

Most of the biggest corporate polluters report on direct emissions. But to hold corporations accountable for their full environmental impact, we need to push them to account for emissions caused down the supply chain -- from raw material extraction to packaging and transportation. If Energizer is truly committed to “doing the right thing,” it can step up and be an industry leader by disclosing supply chain emissions.

Unreported supply chain emissions can often make up the majority of a corporation’s carbon footprint. Case in point: when Kraft investigated its supply chain, it found that it was responsible for a whopping 90 percent of its total emissions.

Tell Energizer to do the right thing and address carbon emissions in its supply chain.

Energizer has taken steps to address its carbon footprint in the past. This year, the brand announced a new rechargeable battery that contains 4 percent recycled content, a step forward in the alkaline battery market. And in 2011, Energizer partnered with One Million LIghts to donate 11 million hours of solar light to rural communities, cutting down on the 190 million tons of carbon emissions kerosene lighting contributes annually.

Energizer can build on these positive steps forward by shedding light on the environmental impact of corporate supply chains. When just ten meters of sea level rise would displace 760 million people across the world, we’re not exaggerating when we say that climate action is literally a matter of life and death. Which is why we need Energizer to use all the tools at its disposal to take on climate change.

We’ve seen the power we have to shape corporate action on climate change, like when we helped get a 40% shareholder support on a resolution asking Suncor to disclose its lobbying spending. Now, we need to push the Energizer to be straight with its GHG disclosures, by accounting for supply chain emissions. Let’s urge Energizer to do the right thing.
