History and founding

William Colgate,an English immigrant to America and devoutBaptist,established a starch, soap, and candle factory on Dutch Street inNew York Cityunder the name William Colgate & Company in 1806.

In 1833, he suffered a severe heart attack, stopping his business's sales; after a convalescence he continued with his business. In the 1840s, the company began selling individual cakes of soap in uniform weights. In 1857, Colgate died and the company was reorganized as Colgate & Company under the management of his similarly devout Baptist sonSamuel Colgate,who did not want to continue the business but thought it would be the right thing to do. In 1872, he introduced Cashmere Bouquet, a perfumed soap.

In 1873, the company introduced its firstColgate toothpaste,an aromatic toothpaste sold in jars.[3]In 1896, the company sold the first toothpaste in a tube, named Colgate Ribbon Dental Cream (invented by dentistWashington Sheffield). Also in 1896, Colgate hiredMartin Ittnerand under his direction founded one of the first applied research labs.[4]By 1908, they initiated mass sales of toothpaste in tubes. Another of William Colgate's sons,James Boorman Colgate,was a primary trustee ofColgate University(formerly Madison University).

InMilwaukee,Wisconsin, the B. J. Johnson Company was making a soap frompalm oilandolive oil,the formula of which was developed by Burdett J. Johnson in 1898. The soap was popular enough to rename their company after it in 1917—Palmolive.[5]Around the start of the 20th century, Palmolive was the world's best-selling soap.

In June 1928, rumors started that "officials of the Palmolive-Peet Co. are negotiating to purchase the Colgate Co." privately held by the Colgate family.[6]Peet Brothers Soap Company of Kansas City merged into Palmolive two years before the merger with Colgate.[7]The merger combined the three oldest and largest soap and perfumery companies in the US and was effective July 1, 1928. The combined company was named the "Colgate Palmolive Peet Company".[8]The combined pre-merger sales in 1927 of the three companies exceeded $100,000,000 (equivalent to $1,774,418,605 in 2023). The newly combined company had seven US manufacturing facilities as well as factories in 14 foreign countries.[9]In 1953, the companies became a joint venture, known as the Colgate-Palmolive Company.[8]

Competition with P&G

edit

Colgate-Palmolive has long been in competition withProcter & Gamble(P&G), the world's largestsoapanddetergentmaker and the maker ofCrest toothpaste.P&G introduced itsTidelaundry detergentshortly afterWorld War II,and thousands of consumers turned from Colgate's soaps to the new product. Colgate lost its number one place in thetoothpastemarket when P&G addedfluorideto its toothpaste Crest & Gleem (The Gleem brand was discontinued by P&G in 2014) Colgate has since re-claimed the #1 sales position.[10]In the beginning of the TV era, Colgate-Palmolive wished to compete with P&G as a sponsor ofsoap operasand sponsored only two soap operas,The Doctorson NBC & ABC'sOne Life To Livefrom the shows debut in July 1968 until ABC boughtOne Life To Livefrom its creator Agnes Nixon in December 1974. They tried to keep the sponsorship of One Life To Live and gain sponsorship of Nixon's newest soap operaAll My Childrenwhich ABC begin airing on January 5th of 1970 but ABC wouldn't allow it. However,The Doctorswas sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive for its entire run from April 1963 until its cancellation in December 1982.

AfterThe Doctorscancellation, Colgate-Palmolive never sponsored another show. P&G continued sponsoring several soap operas on all three networks until its last showAs the World Turnswas canceled in September 2010.

George Henry Lesch,president,CEO,andchairman of the boardof Colgate-Palmolive in the 1960s and 1970s, transformed the firm into a modern company with major restructuring.

Educational and community involvement

edit

In 1890, Madison University in New York State was renamedColgate Universityin honor of the Colgate family following decades of financial support and involvement.[18]

The Colgate-Palmolive Company has sponsored a non-profit track meet open to women of all ages called theColgate Women's Games.[19]The Colgate Women's Games is the nation's largest amateur track series open to all girls from elementary school through college. Held atBrooklyn'sPratt Institute,competitors participate in preliminary meets and semi-finals over five weekends throughout January. Finalists compete for trophies and educational grants-in-aid from Colgate-Palmolive Company at New York City'sMadison Square Gardenin February.

In addition the Colgate site has all kinds of resources for children including educational tooth brushing songs and animated videos focused on their well known former animated mascot Dr. Rabbit.[20]

Ethics

edit

In 2011, Colgate-Palmolive was one of the first companies recognized byPETA(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) under the new "working for regulatory change" category for companies that test on animals only when mandated by government regulations and are actively seeking alternatives to animal testing.[21]This relates to the corporation's decision to continue to participate in the profitable Chinese market, where some animal testing is still a regulatory requirement.[22]Other companies have chosen to decline entry to this market.[23]

In 2006, Colgate-Palmolive acquired an 84% stake inTom's of Maine.[13][24]In 2011, the company chose to retain the use of the antibacterial agenttriclosanin its market-leading Total toothpaste range, despite withdrawing it from several other product ranges, following concerns about triclosan's impact on health and the environment.[25]

As of January 2024, Ethical Consumer website states that "Our research highlights several ethical issues with Colgate-Palmolive, including its approach to palm oil, supply chain management, climate change, excessive pay, tax, human rights, and animal testing. It scored our worst rating across all of these categories."[26]

Environmental record

edit

Colgate-Palmolive received the 2012Safe-in-Sound Excellence in Hearing Loss Prevention Award.[27]

As a successor tothe Mennen Company,Colgate-Palmolive was reported in 2017 as one of about 300 companies held potentially responsible forhazardous wasteat theChemsolfederalSuperfund siteinPiscataway,New Jersey.[28]Their involvement in this site may have contributed to thecontaminationof an estimated 18,500 cubic yards (14,100 m3) of soil withvolatile organic compounds(VOCs),PCBs,andleadoff-site. A proposed $23 million agreement with the government and state of New Jersey would require Colgate-Palmolive and the other involved companies to pay for the cleanup of this hazardous waste that is contaminating the soil as well as thegroundwater.[29]

In 2019,BreakFreeFromPlasticcited Colgate-Palmolive as one of the world's top ten plastic polluters.[30]Previously, Colgate-Palmolive had committed to 100% recyclability of plastics in packaging across all its product categories by 2025 but made no commitment to reducing the use of virgin plastic in packaging.[31]

A 2021 report by Global Witness, updated in 2022, stated that Colgate-Palmolive had used palm oil suppliers connected to bribery, brutalisation of villagers and child labour in Papua New Guinea.[32]

In 2021, the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) gave Colgate-Palmolive a score of "F" on their "scorecard" keeping track of deforestation and human rights abuses.[33]In August 2021, Colgate-Palmolive publicly disclosed the "forest impact of its palm oil supply chain in the Indonesian province of North Sumatra", showing the impact on the rainforests and the indigenous people who live there.[34]In November 2023, Colgate-Palmolive received a "D-" on their RAN scorecard.[35]

In relation to climate change, in June 2023, Planet Tracker stated that Colgate-Palmolive "is on a path to missing its approved Science-based Targets emissions by a factor of 7 when optional indirect use emissions are excluded", it "provides 'no clear strategy' to mitigate its main source of emissions, namely, upstream Scope 3 activities" and its "climate engagement with its value chain has not resulted in positive results over the last half-decade, with the GhG emissions from key 'targeted' areas experiencing substantial growth."[36]Sustainability Beat stated in August 2023 that this puts their profits in jeopardy and risksgreenwashing.[37]

In 2024, the website Ethical Consumer gave Colgate-Palmolive the worst possible rating for climate change, plastic use, and palm oil/deforestation. It received their best rating for avoiding toxic chemicals in its products.[26]
