Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Related Implementation Charges | Restructuring and Related Implementation Charges On January 27, 2022, the Board approved a targeted productivity program (the “2022 Global Productivity Initiative”). All initiatives have been implemented and the program concluded on December 31, 2024. The 2022 Global Productivity Initiative resulted in the reallocation of resources towards the Company’s strategic priorities and faster growth businesses, efficiencies in the Company’s operations and the streamlining of its supply chain to reduce structural costs. Over the course of the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative, the Company incurred total pretax charges of $228 ($186 aftertax) in connection with the implementation of various projects as follows:
| Total Program Charges
| as of December 31, 2024
Employee-Related Costs | $ | 175 |
Incremental Depreciation | 13 |
Asset Impairments | 1 |
Other | 39 |
Total | $ | 228 |
Total pretax charges resulting from the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative were comprised of the following categories: employee-related costs, including severance, pension and other termination benefits (80%); asset-related costs, primarily accelerated depreciation and asset write-downs (5%); and other charges (15%), which include contract termination costs, consisting primarily of implementation-related charges resulting directly from exit activities and the implementation of new strategies. Over the course of the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative, approximately 80% of the charges resulted in cash expenditures. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, charges resulting from the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative are reflected in the income statement as follows:

Employee-Related Costs primarily include severance and other termination benefits and are calculated based on long-standing benefit practices, written severance policies, local statutory requirements and, in certain cases, voluntary termination arrangements. Employee-Related Costs also include pension enhancements which are reflected as Charges against assets within Employee-Related Costs in the preceding table, as the corresponding balance sheet amounts are reflected as a reduction of pension assets or an increase in pension liabilities. Incremental Depreciation is recorded to reflect changes in useful lives and estimated residual values for long-lived assets that will be taken out of service prior to the end of their normal service period. Asset Impairments are recorded to write down inventories and assets held for sale or disposal to their fair value based on amounts expected to be realized. Charges against assets within Asset Impairments are net of cash proceeds pertaining to the sale of certain assets, as applicable.
