William Procter, emigrating from England, established
himself as a candle maker in Cincinnati and James
Gamble, arriving from Ireland, apprenticed himself to a
soap maker. The two might never have met had they
not married sisters, Olivia and Elizabeth Norris, whose
father convinced his new sons-in-law to become
business partners.
As a result, on October 31, 1837, a bold new enterprise
was born: The Procter & Gamble Company. Their total
assets were $7,192.24

12. Improving Lives…
Now and for Generations to come
Sustainability
For P&G, sustainability is a responsibility and an opportunity to make improvements that matter, and to
make life a little better for the greatest number of lives. Our commitment begins with our Purpose, Values
and Principles in which sustainability is the driving force. We have been in operation for 173 years and to
make certain we are around for another 173 years, we need to take care of the environment in which we
operate.
In 2007, P&G established five strategies for Sustainability and set goals to be achieved by 2012.
2012 Goals – Our progress so far.
These goals, originally set in 2007, were increased in March 2009.
13. Our Vision
for the Future
Sustainability
The next step of the journey – 2020 Goals:
This vision is stretching and it will take decades to achieve. Yet, we are fully integrating it into
our business and processes today. It will influence the products we develop, how they are
produced and distributed, and the programs in which we make social investments. To ensure
we make steady progress towards this vision, we also recently announced a set of milestone
goals to be reached by 2020. They include powering our operations with 30% renewable
energy, and replacing 25% of our petroleum-derived raw materials with sustainably-sourced,
renewable materials. To help us deliver against these commitments, we’ve formed a three-year
partnership with the WWF. They bring the best insights and research to our plans and,
together, we’ll be addressing the issues of sustainable production and consumption in the
consumer products industry.
Shaping the future of sustainable consumption:
Going beyond our operations, we recognise a huge part of our footprint as a company is the
energy required for the use of our products in consumers’ homes. We leverage our strength of
consumer understanding to deliver sustainable innovations without trade-offs in performance
or value. To do this, P&G takes a scientific approach. We helped pioneer an approach called Life
Cycle Assessment, which considers the environmental footprint of a product across its entire life
cycle; from raw materials to manufacturing, to consumer use and disposal. By understanding
the impact at each phase of the total life cycle, we can focus our sustainable innovations where
they will have the most meaningful environmental improvement.
Ariel Excel Gel:
The energy needed to heat water in washing machines accounts for more than 70% of the end-to-end environmental footprint of
a laundry product. So we focused our innovation on a product that cleans clothes brilliantly without the need for hot water. In
2008, we launched our breakthrough gel format into the laundry market. Ariel Excel Gel is a highly concentrated detergent
designed to clean brilliantly even at 15ºc. As well as packaging, transport and waste improvements associated with the new
concentrated format, consumers are saving money and energy on top of getting a better performing product. More than a
quarter of UK households now wash regularly at 30° or less – up from just 2% before we started. This is over 58,000
metric tons of CO2 emissions prevented. The potential energy savings of everyone washing their clothes in cold water are
staggering – enough to power the annual energy needs of a country the size of Ireland. But we still have a long way to go. There’s
a lot of work ahead to convince the remainder of the population to turn down the dial.
14. Social Responsibility
Sustainability
Companies like P&G can be a force for good in the world. In the UK and Ireland our
P&G Community Matters programme helps deliver our Live, Learn and Thrive commitment.
Our people and our brands are our greatest assets and together, they are a tremendous force that
can make an impact that matters.
Living Our Purpose Every Day
P&G’s global cause – Live, Learn and Thrive – is improving life for children
in need. Every second of every day, the cause helps two children get off
to a healthy start, gain access to education, and build skills for life as they
grow. By focusing P&G expertise, technologies, and resources to address
these issues, we can help children to get off to a healthy start, receive
access to education and build skills for life.
Live
Get off to a healthy start
Learn
Receive access to education
Thrive
Build skills for life
For P&G, sustainability is a responsibility and
an opportunity to make improvements that
matter. Our Social Responsibility Goal will:
Enable 300 million children to Live, Learn and
Thrive. Prevent 160 million days of disease
and save 20,000 lives by delivering 40 billion
litres of clean water in our P&G Children’s
Safe Drinking Water Programme.
Touching Lives in Times Crisis
Our global disaster response plan allows us to act quickly and effectively.
Our first concern is for the safety and welfare of our employees. Within
hours, we are also in contact with humanitarian partners to understand
the scope and impact of the crisis, and how best to respond.
