P&G is committed to improving lives, now and for generations to come

Watch a video to learn about our dedication to sustainability


P&G defines our commitment to sustainable development as "ensuring a better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come." We have a long heritage as a sustainability leader and we remain committed to improving consumers' lives through P&G brands and by contributing to the sustainability of our planet and the communities in which we live and work.

During the past decade, we've made significant progress in the area of sustainability. We're helping save energy and reduce greenhouse emissions through products such as Ariel Cool Clean (see other products in the Future Friendly initiative), which reduces energy use through cold-water washing. We're helping children in need through our Live, Learn and Thrive corporate cause. And we're providing clean, safe drinking water in developing countries and in times of natural disaster.

As we look toward the future, we are ingraining sustainability even more deeply in our purpose, products, operations and relationships.

We are embedding sustainability in our Company purpose, which makes it explicit that we are focused on improving consumers' lives "now and for generations to come." In a Purpose-driven company like P&G, this addition is enormously important. It will provide inspiration and guide choices and actions throughout the Company.

We are designing sustainability even more deeply in our products, packaging and operations. Our focus is on providing products and services that don't require consumers to make choices between sustainability and their needs for performance and value.

We are leveraging our expertise and relationships to create new opportunities and new approaches. As a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index since its inception and as a a partner with the world's leading retailers, non-governmental organizations and others, P&G can help bring tremendous resources to some of the toughest sustainability challenges

Sustainability is integrated into our day-to-day business decisions. It is an important part of how P&G is designed to grow - now, and for generations to come.
