William Procter James Gamble
P&G WAS FOUNDED IN THE US IN 1837 BY TWO MEN WHO MET BY CHANCE
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

Improving Lives…Now and for Generations to come
Sustainability
In 2007, P&G established five strategies for Sustainability and set goals to be achieved by 2012.
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.
2012 Goals – Our progress so far. These goals, originally set in 2007, were increased in March 2009.
Our Visionfor 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.
Social Responsibility
Companies like P&G can be a force for good in the world. In the UK and Ireland ourP&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 thatcan make an impact that matters.
Sustainability
Living Our Purpose Every DayP&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.
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 CrisisOur 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.
P&G COMMUNITY MATTERS PROGRAMMEOur Community Matters programme focuses on helping children and young people Live, Learn and Thrive. Nearly 1,500 employees from our 15 sites in the UK and Ireland volunteer their time to support our local communities. P&G UK and Ireland total charitable return for FY 0910 was valued at £5.8 million (recorded via London Benchmarking).
P&G UK and Teach First:Addressing educational disadvantageTeach First recruit top graduates to teach for 2 years in challenging UKschools. We have a joint mission to improve the life chances of children from disadvantaged backgrounds through improved educational opportunities. We are Platinum sponsors and exclusive partners of Teach First’s Primary School Project.
In Kind Direct:Distributing surplus goods to charities nationwideSince 2002, over 2,500 different charities have benefited from in kind product donations from P&G UK via our partnership with In Kind Direct, one of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wale’s charities.
BRANDS BACKING GOOD CAUSESNot only do P&G employees lend their time and talents to Live, Learn and Thrive, but we also leverage the strength and reach of our brands to raise public awareness, engagement and donations to many charities.
Max Factor and Look Good Feel Better (LGFB):Helping women manage the visible side effects of cancer treatmentNot only do P&G Beauty Consultants volunteer their time and skills to LGFB workshops but P&G’s Bournemouth Distribution Centre has a dedicated member of staff to collate the corporate donations made by P&G and other beauty companies and then distributes the packs tohospitals taking part in the LGFB workshops.
Pampers and UNICEF:Working Together forHealthy BabiesSince 2006 the Pampers UNICEF “1 pack=1 life-saving vaccine”campaign has helped to protect 100 million women and their babies, with the help of mums across the globe. This year, with the launch of the new Pampers Big Kiss campaign in aid of UNICEF, people across the UK will be inspired to send their love further and help generate funding for even more vaccines to protect 170 million mothers and newborns.
Fairy Make A Wish Campaign:Helping children achieve their dream wishFairy have been supporting Make A Wish since 2004 with an annual Christmas campaign, helping the charity to grant 1,000 magical wishes a year for children fighting life-threatening illnesses.
