It's important to us to be good stewards of the environment and good neighbors in our communities around the world.
We're committed to preserving resources for future generations – and as such, we carefully review our operations for safety and compliance and look for ways to reuse materials or do more with less.
Waste and Recycling
We follow strict standard operating procedures and policies for the management of waste to ensure safe and compliant recycling, transport and disposal. This includes waste generated by our operations in offices, distribution and fulfillment centers and stores as well as company-owned inventory (e.g., packaging components, etc.) at third-party vendors when and where it requires disposal. Where we have direct control, we work with an extensive network of recycling and disposal partners while some stores’ waste and recycling services are managed by vendors contracted directly through our mall landlords.
We also continuously work with our teams and external recycling partners to identify economically viable outlets to reuse and recycle the materials from our operations.
Water
At Bath & Body Works, we recognize the significance of water as a natural resource and the critical need to safeguard it. That is why we plan to do a water assessment in the future and have existing policies in place that protect and conserve water resources within our control and encourage the protection and wise use of water resources where we have influence.
Bath & Body Works is committed to approaching the use of natural resources in a thoughtful manner. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, we are fortunate to have plentiful rainfall and water supplies to support our offices and distribution and fulfillment centers. While our central business functions are not located in a water-scarce part of the country, some of our stores are and therefore, regardless of location, we have adopted many water-conserving measures to help minimize our impact on local water resources.
