Making your day better—in small but meaningful ways.

The P&G Company sees big potential in life’s little moments. Brushing teeth. Washing hair. Showering. Shaving. Caring for the baby. Cleaning the house. Doing the dishes and the laundry. They make the products that help make these moments a little easier.

P&G PRODUCT SAFETY

For 175 years, ensuring the safety of people who use P&G products, and the safety of the world we all live in, has been at the heart of their efforts. They know that you want more information about the ingredients in the products you use and the steps taken to ensure these products are safe for you and the world.

A PRODUCT SAFETY OVERVIEW

P&G’s commitment to safety is both their heritage and their future. With more than 700 in-house experts devoted globally to environmental safety, human safety and regulatory compliance of all their products and ingredients, P&G emphasizes safety first.

KEEPING YOUR FAMILY SAFE

Safety standards for P&G products and ingredients are consistent throughout the world. They ensure the products are safe for their intended use before they even go to market — complying with all laws and regulations where they are sold.

CONSTANT DILIGENCE

Commitment to safety doesn't stop once P&G products go to market. They remain diligent in ensuring your safety by continually investigating new scientific information and collaborating with external scientists and regulatory agencies on new safety methods. They also listen to the people who use their products to confirm they are performing as expected.

DOING WHAT'S RIGHT

The greater good is in the details

It's simple. At P&G, they want to lead the charge in doing the right thing. Their goal is to use every opportunity they have - no matter how small - to set change in motion. To be a force for good and a force for growth. For you, for the world, and for every generation to come.

The P&G Philosophy

With operations in nearly 70 countries and one of the strongest portfolios of trusted, quality brands - used by nearly 5 billion people around the world, they serve the world's consumers, and are also committed to being one of the world's most socially responsible companies.

P&G brands, employees, operations, and partners work together to make that difference - by being more transparent, building collaborative partnerships, respecting human rights, sourcing responsibly... generally doing what's right.

It's what sets them apart.

Sustainability

Environmental sustainability has been a part of the P&G business for decades. To ensure that you can enjoy the products you love today without sacrificing tomorrow, they put goals in place to help work towards our long-term vision.

• Enable responsible consumption, packaging, ingredients, and safety
• Reduce their footprint while protecting the forests
• Ensure packaging won't find its way to the ocean
• Protect water and advance recycling solutions
• Educate employees, integrate sustainability into business plans, and reward progress

Community Impact

As the experts in all things home, P&G has a corporate social responsibility to bring health, hygiene, and the comforts of home to people in need. They are building homes with Habitat for Humanity that use seven tons of recycled plastic each and have partnered with NICU nurses to specifically design diapers for premature babies.

Gender Equality

P&G aspires to build a better world for us all - free from bias and with an equal voice and representation for women and men. A world where everyone sees equal. After the Always #LikeAGirl campaign, 76% consider the phrase a positive expression (vs. 19% before). The goal is 50/50 representation of men and women in the company.

Diversity & Inclusion

Unique perspectives, traditions, and experiences make us stronger. That's why P&G represents multiple religions, over 145 nationalities, and is a proud supporter of LGBT rights. P&G received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index for the 4th year in a row.

Commitment to #BeCrueltyFree

P&G is ending all animal testing of cosmetic products globally, and will partner with Humane Society International's #BeCrueltyFree Campaign to advance that vision.

Supporting #BeCrueltyFree is another step in a long-term commitment to make animal testing obsolete. This journey began over 40 years ago through ongoing research, investment and partnerships to develop and promote the use of alternatives to animal testing. These efforts have contributed to the greater good, enabling P&G and others to develop cruelty-free products.

• Publishing more than 1,000 scientific articles.
• Partnering with leading international animal welfare organizations, academia, and industry coalitions t promote use of non-animal, cruelty-free methods around the world.
• Advocating for public use of non-animal methods and adoption by scientists and policy makers around the world for over 25 years.
• Investing over $420 million over 40 years in alternatives to animal testing by researchers pioneering over 25 non-animal methods.

The brands of P&G are trusted in millions of living rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms - and have been passed down from generation to generation. Over the course of 181 years, they've challenged convention, led innovation, and helped shape culture.

P&G has been doing it this way for over 66,000 days and has no plans to stop anytime soon.
