OUR GOVERNANCE
Our company is managed by the Board of Directors, consisting of twelve Directors and one Emeritus Director. The Board of Directors is responsible for our company's corporate governance and is ultimately accountable for our activities, strategy and performance. Their executive leadership guides the implementation of a sustainability strategy informed by Church and Dwights multiple stakeholders. To increase the quality of the Boards oversight and to minimize the possibility of conflicts of interest, the Board has a majority of independent directors (10 of 12), as defined by the New York Stock Exchange. Each company employee, including each of the companys officers and general managers and each company director, is responsible for conducting the companys business in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of integrity. Our Code of Conduct was designed to encourage a culture of honesty, accountability and mutual respect; to provide guidance to help personnel recognize and deal with ethical issues; and to provide a reporting mechanism for company personnel to report unethical conduct. The company has established a hotline, maintained by a third party, to allow customers and employees to anonymously report any concerns about accounting, internal financial control and auditing matters. All calls will be transcribed and forwarded anonymously to the companys General Counsel, the Compliance Officer and the Audit Committee of the companys Board of Directors for further investigation. Employees may also send an anonymous letter to the Compliance Officer or Audit Committee to report such concerns. Retaliation in any form against an individual who reports an alleged violation, even if the report is mistaken, may itself be a violation of law and is a serious violation of the Church & Dwight Code of Conduct. Any alleged act of retaliation must be reported immediately to the Compliance Officer or the Law Department. If it is determined to have in fact occurred, any act of retaliation will result in appropriate disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment. We have recently organized a new Sustainability Department, which will allow us to better integrate the many aspects of sustainability in our day-to-day business. This group will also facilitate dialogue with stakeholders, including customers, neighbors, investors and employees, and will help ensure that senior management is aware of significant issues and concerns raised by stakeholders.
Employees
In 2007, Church & Dwight employed 2,615 persons in North America. Statistics on employee numbers from 2005 to 2007 are shown in the table below.
Additionally, Church & Dwight employs approximately 1000 people outside North America in foreign subsidiaries. However, indicator data and metrics for operations outside North America have not been included in this initial report. As we complete the expansion of our sustainability program and integrate our metrics globally, it is Church & Dwights intention to include indicator data from our international sectors in future reports.

Each strategic focus area led to an objective, specific goal and a strategy to deliver measurable achievements, which in turn were prioritized into deliverables for 2008. For instance, within R&D and product development, we have established the following objective: We will delight our consumers with innovative product offerings while continually reducing the life-cycle impacts & environmental footprint of our product portfolio. Some examples of products and practices that meet this objective are included in the body of the report, but we are especially excited about the new Arm & Hammer Essentials line of products. As I stated above, Arm & Hammer was built on years of trust arising from products that have been safe and effective for generations. Our new Arm & Hammer Essentials line of products goes beyond our established standards by providing additional benefits to the environment. With our new Arm & Hammer Essentials line we are designing and formulating products that use either less energy, less water, less plastic and less packaging, or some combination of these benefits, all of which help to minimize waste and lower green house gas emissions. At the end of the day, our consumers, our customers and our shareholders all win by saving money, saving energy, minimizing storage and waste, and providing end benefits that help sustain the Earth. ARM & HAMMER Essentials is just one example of our simple goal to just keep improving how we design healthier and more sustainable products that are better for our consumers and the environment. As we move forward on this sustainability journey, we look forward to introducing other new and innovative products that deliver similar benefits. We have a strong team dedicated to this effort within the company and thus I look forward to addressing you again in our 2008 report to review the overall progress of our program and our specific accomplishments. However, irrespective of our past, present and future accomplishments, I can attest that the underlying fabric of the company will not change as we remain committed to the great heritage from which the company was founded and from which it continues to function and prosper today. In closing, I am proud to be an employee and shareholder of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. and to have the privilege to be associated with great brands supported by amazing people. There is a passion and commitment within the culture of the company that will keep the flame of doing whats right burning for many years and for generations to come sustainable by any definition. Respectfully,
Paul A. Siracusa, D.En.Sc. Executive Vice President Global Research & Development

SPECIALTY PRODUCTS
Agriculture
Animal Nutrition ARM & HAMMER Animal Nutrition has a rich history of improving cow performance and producer profitability by raising the bar on feed ingredients to deliver nutrients more efficiently. In our drive to deliver safe, effective products, we have achieved certification from the American Feed Industry Association Safe Feed/Safe Food Program that recognizes the hazard and risk analysis program we have in place at our manufacturing facilities. We have also achieved certification from the Facility Certification Institute indicating that we do not use animal by-products in our feed. All of our feed ingredients are research-proven; we rely heavily on extensive research to deliver high quality feed ingredients and ensure maximum performance.
All ARM & HAMMER brand feed ingredients are designed to improve dairy cow efficiency. This means that a greater percentage of what the cow eats makes the cow healthier and provides more energy to produce milk which results in the following benefits: higher efficiency in converting feed to milk, higher milk production, more profitable dairy farms and less nitrogen excretion by the cow that would otherwise end up in the dairy waste stream.
Food
ARM & HAMMER Brand Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly referred to as baking soda, has been synonymous with quality baking for over 160 years. Church & Dwight Co., Inc. continues to be a pioneer within the science of chemical leavening. Our heritage of innovation combined with the technical capabilities of our food application scientists insure our ability to meet and exceed the challenges faced by the food industry today and into the future.
14
Water Treatment
Our Customers want pure and natural, and that is what we deliver in our specialized line of ARM & HAMMER brand sodium bicarbonate products for swimming pools and water treatment. Sodium bicarbonate is an ideal pH and alkalinity control agent. Swimmers can enjoy a safe, clean and comfortable swimming environment through the creation of optimum conditions for disinfection and corrosion minimization provided by sodium bicarbonate products. In wastewater treatment, optimum system performance can be maintained for maximum efficiency. In municipal water systems it provides corrosion control to prevent human health issues associated with the leaching of lead from water pipes.
Air Pollution
Church & Dwight has developed innovative and practical solutions for the control of acid gas emissions. Central to our success in this field is dry injection technology with sodium bicarbonate, which is an effective and reliable means of achieving greater than 90 percent removal of sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid.
15
RESPONSIBLE CARE
Since 1988, the U.S. chemical industry, through the American Chemistry Council, has implemented Responsible Care, a voluntary program to achieve improvements in environmental, health, safety, and security performance beyond levels required by the U.S. government. The program has resulted in significant reductions in releases to air, land and water, major improvements in workplace and community safety, and expanded programs to research and test chemicals for potential health and environmental impacts. The Church & Dwight Specialty Products Division is a member of the American Chemistry Council and is committed to implementing the principles of Responsible Care. Applicable operations at SPD Corporate and 4 U.S. manufacturing operations are managed under site-specific Responsible Care Management Systems. SPD tracks and publicly reports performance based on economic, environmental, health and safety, societal and product related metrics.
The operations of Church & Dwight are periodically assessed for adherence to local, state and federal environmental and safety regulations. These voluntary compliance audits are coordinated through the Church & Dwight Law Department and are conducted by an outside third party. Audit findings are evaluated against regulatory standards, internal policies and procedures, and best management practices. The environmental and safety audits of Church & Dwight North American operating facilities are performed on a varying schedule, but at least once every two calendar years. In 2007, seven (7) environmental facility audits and twelve (12) safety & health facility audits were conducted. The audit programs include provisions for tracking corrective action implementation as part of Church & Dwight efforts to continually improve environmental, health & safety management.
Church & Dwight facilities are also subject to unannounced environmental and safety inspections from federal, state and local environmental and safety agencies. In calendar year 2007, there were 24 government agency inspections at North American operating facilities covering: Air permit compliance Hazardous material transportation Solid waste and hazardous waste management Wastewater and storm water management Release prevention programs Safety & Health programs Other state environmental programs In 2007, no violations were issued as a direct result of any of these regulatory agency inspections.

RESOURCE USE
The various metrics incorporated in the report include both actual and normalized data to account for the growth of our company. The majority of information contained in this report is associated with the companys North American operations, including fourteen (14) operations in the United States and Canada with 2,615 employees in 2007. The collection of baseline and ongoing performance indicator data for our European and South American operations is still being coordinated so we have elected not to include these operations in this initial report. As we complete the expansion of our sustainability program and integrate our performance metrics globally, it is Church & Dwights intention to include performance data from these sectors in future reports.
All environmental data are shown in absolute terms (i.e., totals across our North American operations).
Energy Use
The summary data table at the back of this The consumption of energy is an integral part of report also includes our environmental data any manufacturing process. Energy in the form normalized to net sales. of natural gas, propane, liquid fuels, purchased electricity, and purchased steam is used at our various operating facilities. The main fuel consumed by Church & Dwight facilities is natural gas and propane, which produces less air pollution than coal or fuel oil. In 2007, natural gas and propane accounted for 51 percent of the total energy usage for the North American Church & Dwight facilities. Energy conservation efforts were implemented by most facilities. These efforts included: Process heat conservation efforts at the Colonial Heights plant resulting in reduced steam production needs with resultant reduction in natural gas requirements. Product concentration efforts at Green River, Harrisonville, and North Brunswick plants were initiated in 2007. Product concentration will yield net reduction in energy needs to produce the same amount of effective product. Results are expected to be observed through 2008. Conversion to fluorescent lighting in most areas and installation of automatic sensor switches in low occupancy areas at the Montreal plant. Lakewood plant participation in NJ Clean Energy Program including re-evaluation of existing motor and HVAC energy efficiency.
18
Energy Use
The data indicate an absolute increase in fuel oil, electricity and purchased steam in 2007 vs. 2006. Both fuel oil and steam usage increased 1 percent vs. 1 year ago. The fuel oil increase for 2006 vs. 2005 is due to incomplete data reported in 2005 at two locations. Electricity usage showed a 6 percent increase in 2007 vs. 2006. The increased electricity usage is due in part to a substantial increase in production capability and capacity at our Harrisonville plant. The data also reflect a 5 percent decrease in natural gas/propane usage for 2007. In terms of total energy consumption, based on the fuel usage reported, in 2007 Church & Dwight used approximately 1,363,000 gigajoules. This is a slight reduction (0.4%) from 2006. The essentially flat total energy usage was achieved during a period of corresponding sales and production increases as well as plant expansion, demonstrating Church & Dwights commitment to efficiently use energy resources. With the exception of fuel oil usage, all other energy resource use has decreased relative to sales over the past 3 years. Total Energy Used (Thousand GJ)

Water Use
A significant percentage of Church & Dwights water consumption is attributed to the manufacturing process as a product ingredient. A portion of the water is used for cooling, cleaning, or other process operations and then returned to the environment. A small percentage of the water is attributed to personal consumption and sanitary use. During 2007, Church & Dwight North American operations used more than 384 million gallons of water with a net consumption of 231 million gallons. The 2007 data indicates a 13 percent absolute increase In water consumption from the previous year due to increased production capacity at several plants and prior to laundry concentration effects. However, water use has decreased relative to sales over the past three years.

Waste
Solid Waste
As a result of the Church & Dwight manufacturing and quality control processes, hazardous and nonhazardous wastes are generated. Church & Dwight is dedicated to the proper management and disposal of all of our waste materials. The quantity and the type of offsite treatment methods for hazardous and non hazardous waste are tracked and records are maintained. In 2007, Church & Dwight North American facilities managed more than 22,000 tons of solid wastes. The personnel at the sites continue to consider and implement new programs to increase product yields, reduce waste, increase recycling efforts, and reduce costs. Some of those efforts included: Madera plant was recognized for the second consecutive year by the California Waste Reduction Awards Program for their 100 production waste recycling efforts. Product concentration efforts at Green River, Harrisonville, and North Brunswick plants were initiated in 2007. These efforts will yield a net reduction in overall volume of material consumed and in packaging needs as indicated on page 12. Product concentration impacts on waste generation are expected to be realized through 2008 for disclosure in our 2008 report. North American plants improved recycling efforts and programs to achieve a 2007 goal of >10 percent increase in total waste recycling. Our Green River and Old Fort plants implemented yield improvement projects to enhance product recovery through improved particulate capture and return to process.

Hazardous Waste
Hazardous wastes represent a very small percentage of Church & Dwight's overall waste streams. In 2007, total hazardous waste generation was 169 tons. Hazardous waste generation was up nearly 66 percent as compared to the previous year. Two primary reasons for the 2007 increase were an abnormal increase in rejected product batches at our largest volume hazardous waste generating location (accounting for 40 percent of the tonnage increase) and a number of expired product disposal actions where the finished product was considered hazardous waste (accounting for 46 percent of the tonnage increase). Most of these disposal events are considered one-time events related to product changes and/or obsolete inventory associated with new product line acquisitions in 2006. Quality assurance practices are expected to reduce these types of waste generation events in the future in order to continue improvement of our hazardous waste management and minimization. The majority of the hazardous waste from C&D operations are managed through offsite fuel blending and incineration.

Church & Dwight tracks the amount of non-hazardous wastes generated annually. These waste streams may include general trash, off specification product or raw materials, 15,000 process wastes or scraps, wastewater trucked off site and similar chemical or special waste streams. Our nonhazardous waste stream increased by 5 percent in 2007. The majority of the increase in non-hazardous waste disposed in 10,000 2007 is attributed to disposal of obsolete inventory acquired at the time of the OGI acquisition in 2006 as well as increased waste volumes related to incorporation of certain 5,000 new OGI products into existing manufacturing facilities during 2007. When normalized to sales we have decreased the amount of waste by 9 percent over the previous year and by 41 percent since 2005. 0

COMPLIANCE
Spills
When a specific quantity of a listed chemical is spilled or discharged to the environment, notification of the discharge is required to be completed. The notification is typically provided to the local, state and/or federal government. During 2007, there was one continuous reportable ammonia release. Our Colonial Heights facility uses ammonia as a normal part of its manufacturing process and consequently releases ammonia gas to the atmosphere. The facility completes an annual continuous release report to the state and federal agencies and complies with the state air pollution control regulations. Church & Dwight continues to examine ways to improve the manufacturing process to reduce the associated ammonia emissions. There were no accidental chemical spills or releases from C&D North American operating plants in 2007. Accidental Chemical Spills or Releases

ASSURANCE STATEMENT
Environmental Resources Management (ERM) was retained by Church & Dwight to provide an independent review and assurance statement of the Sustainability Report 2007. The review was performed with consideration given to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (2006) and AA1000 Assurance Standard (2003). ERM assessed information in the report regarding the following: Completeness: does the sustainability report cover all the operations and impacts that an external reader would need to know about?
Relevance: are the indicators and programs reported the appropriate ones, given the sector, type of operations, and locations involved?
Accuracy: does the report accurately reflect Church & Dwights sustainability performance and challenges? Responsiveness: does Church & Dwight respond to a wide range of external expectations and pressures related to sustainability issues? The review was conducted during April and October 2008 and included an assessment of the data collection and internal verification processes, the draft Church & Dwight Sustainability Report 2007, and the reports status against the G3 guidelines. Church & Dwight includes in the Sustainability Report 2007 environmental, health and safety, employment, and employee giving data from manufacturing, research and development, packaging, and distribution operations in North America. Data are not collected for Church & Dwight operations outside North America; however, the company states that such data will be reported in future Church & Dwight sustainability reports. As part of the review, ERM conducted interviews with corporate accounting, environmental, human resources, research and development, safety, and sustainability staff. During these interviews and document reviews, ERM sought to: Understand the logistics of the data collection and reporting process Review the internal mechanisms for checking and verifying data Review how errors are communicated to the data providers and corrective action checked to ensure accuracy in the reported data ERM identified and discussed with management several areas for improvement. Changes in the final report reflect these recommendations and corrections.
Based on our review, ERM finds that Church & Dwight has a reliable system in place for collecting, summarizing, and reporting representative information on its sustainability management structure and programs and its sustainability performance as presented in its Sustainability Report 2007. ERM believes that the Sustainability Report 2007 reflects the sustainability issues and challenges facing Church & Dwight. In addition, our review confirmed that the Sustainability Report 2007 meets the requirements of application level C of the GRI reporting framework.
Overall, through this first public sustainability report that the company has prepared, Church & Dwight shows strong corporate efforts to develop and improve its reporting systems and to enhance its transparency. Environmental Resources Management Annapolis, Maryland, USA October 2008
