Sustainability at P&G

At P&G, we focus our sustainability efforts on improvements that matter, making the most meaningful impact possible. Our commitment begins with our Purpose, Values and Principles, where sustainability is embedded, manifesting itself in a systemic and long-term approach. From product innovations and operational improvements to social responsibility, employee engagement, and stakeholder partnerships, we pursue our sustainability goals with the aim of improving quality of life, now and for generations to come.

In 2007, we established five sustainability strategies and goals for 2012. In March 2009, we increased our goals to reflect our progress and to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to sustainable, responsible growth.

Operations

Improve the environmental profile of P&G’s own operations.

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%.
