Our Commitment to Sustainability is Making P&G a Stronger Company
P&G’s commitment to sustainability is clear. We have sustainability leaders in all areas of the business
and across all of our key brands who are developing innovative solutions on packaging, materials,
ingredients and in our supply chain. We have established a long-term sustainability vision and goals for
 to ensure we are making measurable progress. Our innovation capabilities and the global reach
of our brands present us with an opportunity and an obligation to address environmental and social
issues consumers care about today, and the challenges we all will face in the future. Our focus on
sustainability is making P&G stronger, delivering value for consumers, customers and shareowners.
WORTH FROM WASTE
Seven years ago, we launched our Global Asset Recovery
Purchases (GARP) program, which has the broad aim of reducing
waste and finding use for non-performing inventory. Since then,
the program has created more than $1.6 billion in value through
cost savings and revenue. At the same time, it has kept a quarter
of a million tons of materials out of landfills and put them to
worthwhile use.
LIQUID LAUNDRY COMPACTION
This year, P&G committed to 25% less water in every dose of
P&G liquid laundry detergents sold in North America by 2018.
This means less plastic, water and energy used to make, pack and
ship products, and fewer delivery trucks on the road. When we
moved to a 2x-concentrated formula in 2008, we reduced plastic
use by more than 40%, reduced water use by 35% and increased
truck capacity by 50%. In addition to the manufacturing and
shipping savings, consumers rewarded us with increased sales.
CHILDREN’S SAFE DRINKING WATER (CSDW)
Our CSDW program, soon marking 10 years in operation, has
provided more than seven billion liters of clean drinking water
to those in greatest need. The program has helped save an
estimated 40,000 lives, as drinking contaminated water is a
primary cause of death and illness in developing countries.
DISASTER RELIEF
P&G’s global disaster relief programs provide daily essential
products from brands such as Tide*, Pampers*, Duracell*, and
Pantene* to help people in need when disaster strikes. In the
past year, we helped families when they needed us most by
responding with P&G products and cash donations to nearly
20 major disasters worldwide, including Typhoon Haiyan in
the Philippines, massive flooding in the Balkans, and severe
tornadoes in the U.S.
P&G’s social responsibility efforts are
focused on improving health and hygiene
and sharing the comforts of home for
people in need.
+
P&G’s environmental efforts are focused
on conserving resources, using renewable
resources, and finding innovative ways
to recycle or reuse waste.
