P&G is driven to make life better—not just within the company, but across the globe. From Day 1, we committed to doing the best by each other—for our employees, our consumers, and for people everywhere. As a part of the P&G team, you will share in that commitment.

P&G aims to be a model global corporate citizen. We are known as a company that is governed responsibly and behaves ethically. We are transparent in our business dealings, and we work to support good causes. We protect the environment, and provide an appealing place to work where our employees are treated well, and are given the opportunity to be all that they can be.

Our aspiration is clear. We want to be a force for good and a force for growth. We know that the more we integrate and build Citizenship into how we do business, the bigger the impact P&G can have on the people we serve, the communities where we live and work and the broader world that surrounds us. In turn, this helps us grow and build our business.

Citizenship at P&G falls into five efforts. Learn more about our commitment to each by clicking below:

COMMUNITY IMPACT

​​​​​​​
We are focused on making an impact in the communities we serve from our employee community, to those in the towns, cities and countries we touch. Our brands touch the lives of nearly five billion people, and we are there when our products matter more than ever. We provide the comforts of home in times of disaster and bring the power of clean water to people who need it most. We focus where we can uniquely bring value and where our brands and people can make the biggest difference. Below are a few of the community impact programs that our incredible employees brought to life.

CHILDREN’S SAFE DRINKING WATER PROGRAM

We use our innovative cleaning technology and apply it to the most basic of needs—clean drinking water. During the program’s 13 years, we have worked in more than 85 countries with more than 150 partners to distribute P&G Purifier of Water packets during emergencies, and to the people who lack clean water every day. Over the years, CSDW has saved thousands of lives.
PREEMIE PAMPERS
Every year in the US, half a million babies are born prematurely. When Susan Ludwig, Creator of the Pampers Preemie Diaper, learned that parents of these babies did not have access to a preemie-sized diaper, she got to work.

“I thought if anybody has the technology, the creativity and the passion to make this diaper, it was us.”
​​​​​​​
P&G partnered with Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurses to design and introduce a diaper that is three sizes smaller than newborn diapers to fit the tiniest premature babies who weigh as little as one pound.
SPREADING HOPE IN OUR COMMUNITIES
For more than 20 years, P&G China has supported Project Hope, giving more than 300,000 children access to comprehensive education, including drama, sports, art, and music. In more than 200 schools, we’re using the most advanced concepts and technologies to encourage children to participate and express themselves actively.
PROTECTING WOMEN’S HEALTH
We are committed to promoting healthy lives, and through P&G 6 Minutes Protect a Life, we’re helping women manage cervical and breast cancer risk. Since 1994, the program has helped with early diagnosis of 80% of cervical and breast cancer cases in Taiwan, leading to better treatment options and a significantly reduced mortality rate.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

We aspire to be as diverse as the people who use our products, because the more we reflect our consumers, the better equipped we are to understand and serve them. We strive each day for every P&Ger to be valued, included, and able to perform at their peak. We win when everyone brings their unique self to work, when we bring out the best in each other, and when every talent is used and every voice is heard.

CELEBRATING DIVERSITY

Our annual Diversity & Inclusion Week celebrates the unique individuals that we all are and encourages us to come together. The events and activities that take place during this week are a source of inspiration and learning.

#MYBLACKISBEAUTIFUL
With 2.6 million members, My Black Is Beautiful is the largest online community of black women. While challenging society’s standards of beauty, MBIB celebrates the diverse and collective beauty of black women, and encourages black women everywhere to act as catalysts in their communities to redefine these standards.

VALUING INCLUSION

The same way we strive to create products for everyone, at P&G we want our workplace to be just as inclusive. That's why we take pride in our commitment to make sure every employee can do their best work with us from Day 1. Because with our support, we know that everyone has the ability to share bold ideas and to impact our world-class brands for the better.

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
From resource and affinity groups to specific aids, we make sure our people with disabilities (PWD) have everything they need to feel welcome, be understood and make an impact. Experience their stories, the work we do together, and how we strive to make our offices - and the world - more inclusive.

AFFINITY GROUPS

​​​​​​​
Employee affinity groups can often be employees’ source of connection and emotional fuel, help employees feel valued, respected, and included, and expose us all to different perspectives and a richer experience. We enthusiastically support numerous regional groups, as well as three global affinity groups:

GENDER EQUALITY

We aspire to build a better world for all of us — inside and outside P&G; a world free from bias and with equal voice and equal representation for all individuals. A world where everyone sees equal. We know that gender equality contributes to stronger economies, healthier communities and thriving businesses.

50-50
GOAL OF EQUAL GENDER PARITY IN ALL P&G REGIONS AND BUSINESSES BY 2020

45%
OF CURRENT P&G MANAGER POSITIONS ARE WOMEN

35%
OF CURRENT P&G EXECUTIVE-LEVEL POSITIONS ARE WOMEN
We are focusing on three areas where we can have the greatest impact:

Leveraging our significant voice in advertising and media to tackle gender bias. One example, is the latest Change Destiny campaign, Timeless where Katie Couric and SK-II inspire women around the world to draw their own timelines and celebrate that destiny is a matter of choice, instead of living a life according to society’s gender based expectations of them.
Removing gender-biased barriers to education for girls and economic opportunities for women through our corporate programs and policy advocacy efforts like Always Keeping Girls in School
Creating an inclusive, gender-equal environment inside P&G, and advocating for gender-equal workplaces beyond P&G so that everyone can contribute to their full potential. Busting Workplace Myths takes a critical first step towards changing perception by showcasing the myths about women in the workplace vs. the reality.
But that’s not all – learn more about a few of our gender equality efforts below:
"WHEN WOMEN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FULL REPRESENTATION, BUSINESSES PERFORM BETTER, ECONOMIES PROSPER, COMMUNITIES ARE HEALTHIER AND THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE—FOR EVERYONE."

WE BELIEVE: THE BEST MEN CAN BE

At P&G, we take a stand for what we believe is right, and we strive to make the world a better place for everyone. We know that actions have influence that stretches beyond today; our actions have the power to shape tomorrow. It’s only by challenging ourselves to do more that gets us closer to being our best.

#WESEEEQUAL

We believe that when we make gender bias visible and bring awareness to it, we have the power to motivate change. We launched #WeSeeEqual in March 2017 to inspire a new expectation and reset the outdated narrative that has been in place for far too long

CELEBRATING WOMEN’S DREAMS

Our hair care brand Rejoice continues its history of celebrating women who pursue their dreams. The brand’s newest campaign in China features advertising that depicts women on paths that were previously dominated by men — like pursuing a career as a pilot. The campaign builds on the insight that post-1990s Chinese women have goals they want to achieve, while remaining true to themselves.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Environmental Sustainability is not a new concept for P&G. We incorporate it into our way of doing business, as we have for decades. We see it as our responsibility, as well as a business opportunity, and want to ensure no one has to choose between the products they use and enjoy today, and what they hope to preserve for tomorrow.

Currently, every manufacturing site in China and India, two of our largest markets, meets this goal. This effort doesn’t just save the environment, it saves money—more than $1.9 billion since the program began in 2007.

AMBITION 2030:
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY GOALS
P&G launched Ambition 2030 to showcase our new environmental goals for 2030. After achieving many of our 2020 goals, we knew it was time to raise the bar. Our new goals enable and inspire positive impact while creating value for our company and consumers.

HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST

Head & Shoulders, the world’s #1 shampoo brand, partnered with TerraCycle and SUEZ to pioneer the world’s first recyclable shampoo bottle made with beach plastic. The bottle launched in France in summer 2017 - by the end of 2018, more than half a billion bottles will contain recycled beach plastic.

With the help of thousands of volunteers and hundreds of NGOs collecting plastic waste found on beaches, we will remove 2,600 tons of recycled plastic from the world’s beaches every year.

SUSTAINABLE FROM THE GROUND UP
Our Taicang facility, where we produce Head and Shoulders, Pantene, Rejoice, and Vidal Sassoon, was designed with sustainability in mind from Day 1. Built around the concept of a Chinese water garden, Taicang is one of our most sustainable sites globally. The facility was also featured in a case study by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, showcasing best practices in circular water management.

SOCIAL AND SUSTAINABLE
The China team created a media tag on Weibo, #YOU CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE, translated as #美好世界由我创. Using the tag, we expanded our photo contest to the public for the first year.
