April 16, 2018

Ambition 2030 Goals Span Brands, Supply Chain, Society and P&G
Employees

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) today announced it has achieved
many of its 2020 environmental sustainability goals, has plans in place
to meet the rest and has established new, broad-reaching goals for 2030.
The new goals, titled “Ambition 2030,” aim to enable and inspire
positive impact on the environment and society while creating value for
the Company and consumers.


“We believe P&G can be a force for good and a force for growth, and we
are taking a more deliberate approach to delighting consumers while
enabling responsible consumption,” said David Taylor, P&G’s Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer. “Consumers expect the brands they
trust to deliver superior performance and to also help solve some of the
most complex challenges facing our world. Our global reach, our
understanding of the five billion consumers we serve, and our innovation
capabilities give us a unique ability to make a positive difference.”

P&G’s “Ambition 2030” goals include:

  • Brands: P&G’s 20 leadership brands including Always, Ariel,
    Dawn, Fairy, Febreze, Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Pampers, and Tide
    will enable and inspire responsible consumption through packaging that
    is 100% recyclable or reusable, launching more sustainable
    innovations, and building trust through transparency and sharing our
    safety science.
  • Supply Chain: P&G manufacturing sites will cut greenhouse gas
    emissions in half, and will purchase enough renewable electricity to
    power 100% of our plants. The Company will also source at least 5
    billion liters of water from circular sources.
  • Society: P&G will continue to create transformative
    partnerships that enable people, the planet and our business to
    thrive, including those that stem the flow of plastic into the world’s
    ocean, protect and enhance forests, expand recycling solutions for
    absorbent hygiene products, and protect water in priority basins
    around the world.
  • Employees: P&G will engage, equip and reward employees for
    building sustainability thinking and practices into their everyday
    work. We will reward progress and integrate recognition into
    performance assessments.

Further details about P&G’s “Ambition 2030” goals can be found here.

Building on its legacy of environmental leadership, P&G has already
achieved many of its sustainability goals for 2020 in its focus areas of
climate (reduced absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 16% since 2010),
water (reduced water use in manufacturing facilities by 27% since 2010),
and waste (achieved zero manufacturing waste to landfill for more than
80% of manufacturing sites).

The impact of the Company's progress can be seen across brands and
geographies, including products like Tide purclean that include
bio-based ingredients and Head & Shoulders that use beach plastics in
packaging; manufacturing changes that power our plants with wind
electricity and steam from biomass; and research innovations that will
transform the recyclability of tons of plastic each year benefitting
entire industries, well beyond the reach of P&G.

This progress is further detailed in the Company’s 2017
Citizenship Report.

“Building on our progress to date, our 2030 goals seek to address two of
the world’s most pressing environmental challenges: finite resources and
growing consumption,” said Virginie Helias, P&G Vice President of Global
Sustainability. “We know P&G alone does not have all the answers. It
will take partnerships and collaboration to make meaningful progress and
our brands will develop innovations to take responsible consumption to
the next level.”

“P&G has been a leader in driving sustainable development. Their
strategy is aligned with our belief that businesses will be more
successful by being more sustainable. We applaud their framework
Ambition 2030 which has the potential to drive significant positive
global impact for shareholders, the environment and societies,” said
Peter Bakker, President and CEO, World Business Council for Sustainable
Development.
