GroForward 2030

We focus on exceeding expectations for product quality, safety and responsibility. We continuously assess how we operate to drive efficiency and reduce our environmental footprint, and we engage our teams to support their growth and the communities in which we operate. These are the essence of our Corporate Responsibility Goals.

GroForward 2030 - Our corporate responsibility goals

The progress we made in the 2020 through 2025 period created a solid foundation for setting a new set of goals for 2026 through 2030. Applying our Corporate Responsibility Strategy, we have established GroForward 2030, the goals of which are grounded in these three interconnected principles:

  • PRODUCTS you can count on.
  • PRACTICES you can be proud of.
  • PEOPLE you can grow with.

Products you can count on

  • 100% of new products will align with at least one defined sustainability criteria
  • Increase the percentage of ScottsMiracle-Gro’s active product catalog with an average star rating greater than or equal to 4.0 by 25 percent, from a FY25 baseline.

Practices you can be proud of

  • Reduce total scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 20% from a FY24 baseline
  • Reduce purchased water intensity across operated facilities by 10% from a FY24 baseline
  • Support the protection, management or restoration of at least 3,000 acres of natural habitat through biodiversity-related grants and partnerships, supported by annual funding commitments beginning in FY25

People you can grow with

  • Achieve a 50% associate participation rate in the Give Back to Gro volunteer time off program
  • Invest $10 million to improve communities where we live, work and play through partnerships and charitable contributions
