ACI is once again proud to support Dig Deep through our annual #OurFutureIsClean social media challenge, which highlights the #sustainability efforts across the cleaning products industry. The challenge kicked off with the launch of the?2024 ACI Sustainability Report. Our member companies and their staff posted on social media channels with the hashtag #OurFutureIsClean, sharing images or videos of the actions they’re taking to be more sustainable, from large initiatives to individual commitments. This year’s theme was valuing nature, including steps taken to reduce packaging, increase the recycling of cleaning products, and reduce water use. Many of these actions directly support the industry’s ambitious sustainability goals. Congratulations to IFF on winning the #OurFutureIsClean social media challenge, as the member company with the most engagement. Because we hit our engagement goals, ACI is donating another $20,000 to DigDeep, a human rights nonprofit working to ensure universal access to reliable and safe water and wastewater services within the United States.
