12. Gain a sustainable advantage
Three-year decline in every single one
of these activities
• Adjusting thermostat
• Unplugging appliances/turning off power strips
• Turning off water while brushing teeth
• Only running dishwasher when completely full
• Avoiding baths/taking shorter showers
• Less frequent lawn watering
• Reusing dish/bath water for landscape watering
• Combining car trips to save gas
• Riding a bike or walking to work/to run errands
• Using reusable containers vs. disposable water bottles
• Taking reusable bags to grocery store
• Recycling hard to recycle items
• Avoiding disposable products (paper plates, plastic ware)
13. Gain a sustainable advantage
Only reported behavioral increases:
• Always recycling aluminum cans, plastic bottles,
newspapers and cardboard (up from 54% in 2012 to
76% today)
23. GREATEST LEARNINGS FROM LAUNCH
• The number of video views and Project Sunlight
site visits demonstrates the relevance of the
message
For Improvement Going Forward:
• Lack of clarity around master narrative: “what is
project sunlight”?
• Need a concrete Call to Action – “what do you want
me to do?”
• Employees need more than a launch event- they
need to catalyze the movement
31. Original Program Objectives
EXTERNAL
• Leverage our commitment to recycling as a starting point in an ongoing dialogue
about
our company and brand sustainability
• Increase awareness and ultimately recycling rates for items used in the bathroom
– Reduce the footprint for our products at end of life
• Capture our share of voice with consumers and positively
influence J&J reputation and brand equities (likes, comments, polls)
• Grow audience for our consumer-facing sustainability sites
INTERNAL
• Build engagement and interaction with employees – raise sustainability visibility

41. New Program Objectives
New Concept:
Consumer Engagement Units: (follows, shares, reblogs, pictures, ideas, views, comments, polls, bins
redeemed etc.)
• Increase consumer engagement units through content &
interactions more closely linked to behavior change
– Shorter more shareable videos
– Snackable content
– Gamification
– Offer tools and services to address convenience
• Partner with retailers to and other manufacturers to maximize
reach and support infrastructure changes
