Overview

Sustainability is about ensuring a better quality of life today, for people and our planet.

P&G does this through the products and services we offer, making these products in an environmentally responsible manner, and through our social responsibility programs that improve lives for those in need around the world.

We define sustainability broadly at P&G to include both environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

Environmental Sustainability

As part of our strategy to grow responsibly, we will work toward a long-term environmental sustainability vision that includes:

  • Powering our plants with 100% renewable energy
  • Using 100% renewable or recycled materials for all products and packaging
  • Having zero consumer and manufacturing waste go to landfills
  • Designing products that delight consumers while maximizing our conservation of resources

This vision is stretching, and we believe it will take us decades to achieve. We have set strategies in Products and Operations that help us deliver against our vision. To ensure we are holding ourselves accountable, we have two sets of goals, for 2012 and 2020, within Products and Operations.

Employees & Stakeholders

In order to deliver our environmental and social programs, we must engage our employees and stakeholders. Our objective is to equip all P&G employees to build sustainability thinking and practices into their everyday work. We will also work transparently with stakeholders to enable us continued freedom to innovate in a responsible way.
