SAVING TREES BY CHANGING A

PALLET SPECIFICATION

By Dylan Beach, Sustainability Analyst, Product Development

Starting in October 2018 we made a tiny tweak to our largest pallet specification number, and it’s
having a big impact on Sustainable Value. Our Standard #1 (A) Grade pallet spec used to state
that the pallet had to be made of virgin hardwood, wood that is freshly cut and seeing its first life
as a product. Now, the replacement spec calls for the pallet to be made from recycled lumber.

What does this mean? In 2017, we used close to a quarter of a million Standard #1 (A) Grade
pallets. By requesting recycled lumber, GOJO will help to avoid the logging of an estimated
13,000 trees each year to supply this pallet grade to us. Small changes like this help us reduce
the footprint of our operations, while improving our profitability and continuing to provide well-
being solutions to our customers.

Special thanks to all those who were involved with the project, including Jenna Matus,
Jonathan Johnson, Marily Zahn, Tony Guardado, Troy Simmons, and GOJO Team members at
GOJO Lippman and Wooster Campuses who tested and oversaw changes.
