Now and for generations to come.
Since establishing our five specific sustainability strategies
and goals in 2007, we have made good progress against
these targets. We’ve created substantial efficiencies in
running our operations with less water and energy, and
generating less CO2 and waste. We’ve introduced new
products that have more favorable environmental profiles.
We’ve increased our employee engagement and external
partnerships. Our social responsibility programs continue
to improve the lives of children in need around the world.
GOAL: Deliver an
additional 20%
reduction (per unit
of production) in
CO2 emissions,
energy consumption,
water consumption
and disposed
waste from P&G
plants, leading to a
total reduction over
the decade of at
least 50%.
GOAL: Develop
and market at
least $50 billion
in cumulative sales
of “sustainable
innovation
products,” which
are products that
have an improved
environmental
profile.(1)
GOAL: Enable 300
million children to
Live, Learn and
Thrive.(2) Prevent
160 million days of
disease and save
20,000 lives by
delivering 4 billion
liters of clean water
in our Children’s
Safe Drinking Water
program.(3)
