The P&G Corporate
Cause
We have long made a difference in the causes we support, but we can make a greater,
more enduring difference by focusing on a "corporate cause" where the need is
great and there is a clear fit with P&G strengths, brands and current programmes.
We are committed
to focusing our charitable
contributions and
sustainability efforts
on a single cause:
improving the life
for children in need,
ages 0-13, through
our corporate cause,
P&G Live, Learn and
Thrive. In fact,
because of this focus,
we already have helped
improve life for
more than 40 million
children in need
around the world.
P&G resources:
- Help children
in need live by
helping ensure
they get off
to a healthy
start;
|
- Provide children
in need with
places, tools
and programs
that enhance
their ability
to learn;
|
- Give children
in need access
to programs
that help develop
the self-esteem
and life skills
that they
need to thrive.
|
There are
several reasons
to concentrate
our resources in
this are:
- Disadvantaged
children are
most vulnerable
and least able
to help themselves.
|
- We have many
existing programs
in children's
education and
development
as well as
deep expertise
in health and
hygiene, which
will be critical
in addressing
global needs
for children
and the world.
|
- Child development
is a universal
concern across
all global
stakeholders
in both developed
and developing
countries.
|
By strengthening
current programmes,
introducing new ones
and focusing our
expertise and technologies
on this critical
need, we can improve
the future for these
children throughout
the world.

P&G
Live, Learn and Thrive
Corporate Signature
Program
P&G LIve, Learn and
Thrive comes to life
through programs
in our communities
around the world.
We also bring the
Cause to life on
a global basis through
a corporate signature
programme, Children's
Safe Drinking Water.
P&G has developed
a low-cost technology
to purify contaminated
drinking water to
make if safer for
children. We provide
this technology to
global relief groups
to yield millions
of litres of safe
drinking water in
developing countries.
This has been critical
in helping children
in need get off to
a healthy start.
