PLZ ESG REPORT 2021 RESULTS
PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP
Launch of PLZ Prodigy , a premier product development and chemical regulatory management system In 2021, PLZ Corp made a substantial investment in the customization of ProductVision® software and launched PLZ Prodigy to improve accuracy, speed to market, and regulatory compliance in our new product development process. By leveraging this innovative software technology, PLZ Corp is now able to efficiently manage inputs of all information required for product development, including the safety data for each raw chemical ingredient and the regulations that govern its usage. The software provides a central repository of all relevant information about our formulas and the chemicals used in those formulas. This allows for visibility and enhanced collaboration during product development. It also ensures that everyone is working together toward a common goal, using the same information and procedures. We’re happy to report that all sites are benefiting from PLZ Prodigy. We can also automatically generate raw material and formula-driven safety data sheets and product labels that meet or exceed reporting regulations including the Global Harmonization System regulations in the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, we can create food nutrition labels and ingredient declarations that comply with the current Nutrition Labeling and Education Act regulations, and we have the tools necessary to maintain compliance.
FORWARD-LOOKING GOALS
PLZ Corp will challenge ourselves to meet or exceed our commitments to producing responsible products by:
• Rolling out PLZ Prodigy to 12 initial manufacturing facilities (80% of plan) in 2022 with implementation at the remainder of sites in 2023
• Continuing efforts to reformulate products prior to 2027 and 2030 CARB VOC regulations
• Drive toward 100% quality acceptance rate by further reducing our quality rejection rate by 10 percent from our 2021 goal of 0.1% to 0.09% in 2022
