In its own words
What could break it.
Commodity & input dependence
- resins, essential oils, tropical oils, pulp, tallow, corn, poultry, soybeansmedium
Colgate-Palmolive is exposed to price volatility across a broad basket of production inputs — resins, essential oils, tropical oils, pulp, tallow, corn, poultry and soybeans — and manages exposure through cost containment and limited hedging.
“The Company is exposed to price volatility related to raw materials used in production, such as resins, essential oils, tropical oils, pulp, tallow, corn, poultry and soybeans. The Company manages its raw material exposures through a combination of cost containment measures, ongoing productivity initiatives and the limited use of commodity hedging contracts.”
SEC filing →As of 2026
Sole-source dependency
- key raw and packaging materials from single-source suppliersmedium
Certain key raw and packaging materials are sourced from single-source or limited suppliers; qualifying alternatives requires significant investment and time, making short-term substitution difficult.
“We do, however, purchase certain key raw and packaging materials from single-source suppliers or a limited number of suppliers. For certain materials, new suppliers may have to be qualified under industry, governmental and/or Colgate-Palmolive standards (including those relating to responsible sourcing), which can require additional investment and/or take a significant period of time.”
