Lilly Improves Its Environmental Footprint in Business Operations and Helps Beautify Communities
Date:10/4/2011

growth. And spent urea, a material used in insulin production, is being used as an ingredient in fertilizer manufacturing.

In 2007, Lilly's water intake was almost 20 billion liters for the company's facilities worldwide. Last year the total amount of water brought into the company's facilities had been reduced to 13.3 billion liters. Water intake reduction was achieved by improving the efficiency of operations, identifying and repairing leaks in water systems, improving purified-water production, and treating and reusing water in cooling tower systems.

In response to meeting these goals ahead of schedule, the company has established new waste and water goals for a two-year period, 2011-2013, using 2010 results as a baseline. The new goals are:

Water – reduce water intake by five percent

Waste – reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills by 20 percent, with an ultimate goal of zero-landfill

"While we're making great progress, we know we still have much more work to do," Gillman said. "We'll continue to work aggressively to achieve our environmental goals and reduce our footprint."

Today's announcement comes in advance of Lilly's Global Day of Service being held this week on October 6. An estimated 24,000 employees from 34 countries will participate in Global Day Service activities focused on improving communities worldwide including projects that will enhance outdoor spaces. In Indianapolis, where Lilly is headquartered, Global Day of Service volunteers, will plant 3,000 trees and 14,000 plants to refresh parks, trails and neighborhoods, in an effort to improve green space and encourage more people to get out, get active, and enjoy the many natural health benefits associated with outdoor activities.
