Environmental Stewardship

Complying with all applicable environmental, health, safety, security (EHSS), and product safety laws and regulations is fundamental to Benjamin Moore’s commitment to our planet. Through robust policies and procedures, we work to maintain adherence to state, federal, and local requirements. Our governance framework is supported by a cross-functional team of corporate and supply chain representatives who are responsible for setting enterprise-wide standards, establishing priorities aligned with the business goals, and driving consistency between functional areas.

WATER MANAGEMENT & RECYCLING

Benjamin Moore actively seeks out new and better ways to minimize environmental impact. By reusing wash water in our operations, we minimize the amount of fresh water needed in our manufacturing process. In 2025, we redirected 2.5 million gallons of wash water and wash solvent into low-grade products, keeping these materials out of the waste stream. In addition, the company recycled approximately 500,000 gallons of paint, offering alternative uses for our premium products, helping to lessen our overall footprint. Shipping hundreds of thousands of gallons of paint each day, we’ve implemented site‑wide recycling programs to reduce waste, including systems for wooden pallets, corrugated cardboard, shrink wrap, and tin cans.

PaintCare

Benjamin Moore is committed to continuously finding better ways to handle unused paint—for us, our customers, and our communities. We partner with the American Coatings Association (ACA) and its nonprofit entity, PaintCare, which operates in states with paint stewardship laws and manages an industry-wide program to collect leftover paint for reuse, recycling, or safe disposal, and the Canadian Paint and Coatings Association (CPCA) and Product Care, which oversees product stewardship programs for household hazardous and special waste products on behalf of its members across Canada. As a contributing board member for both organizations, our shared goal is to expand the breadth of these models, so post-consumer paint is handled effectively and in an environmentally responsible manner.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY & CLIMATE IMPACT

Several of our facilities utilize on-site solar fields to offset electricity use, and many of our locations have transitioned to high-efficiency LED lighting to further reduce energy consumption. EV chargers are available at our global headquarters and research and development center, helping reduce our carbon footprint. We are evaluating opportunities to expand EV charging infrastructure at additional sites and continue identifying ways to reduce energy consumption across our operations.

HABITAT PROTECTION

Our research and development center in Flanders, NJ, and our manufacturing facility and distribution center in Pell City, AL, maintain a Conservation Certification from the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC), a nonprofit group dedicated to restoring and enhancing wildlife habitat. Benjamin Moore has participated in this program since 1996.
