P&G 2008 Sustainability Overview: Designed to Innovate... Sustainably

Promises Made.
Promises Kept.

The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) is a non-partisan group designed to address key global issues through new, measureable, and specific commitments that bring together a diverse group of partners. P&G has been an active participant in CGI since 2006. Because of this participation, we have been able to step-up our commitments to make an impact on key global health issues through a variety of unique partnerships. We are on-track or have exceeded our commitments to date.

Answering a pressing need
P&G technology and a network of partners

More than one billion people in the developing world do not have access to clean drinking water. As a result, thousands of children die every day.

Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) reaches these people through PUR, a water purifying technology developed by P&G and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). One small PUR packet quickly turns 10 liters of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean, drinkable water. The packets can be used anywhere in the world, including areas affected by natural disaster.

This Live, Learn and Thrive program provides PUR packets on a not-for-profit basis. This year, with the help of our network of over 70 partners, we delivered our one-billionth liter of clean drinking water.

A long-term commitment to education access
P&G Hope Schools

Thanks to P&G Hope Schools, a program in partnership with the China Youth Development Foundation, children now have better access to education in poverty-stricken rural areas of China. P&G China continued its long-term commitment to the program this year, founding its 140th P&G Hope School.

To help drive this Live, Learn and Thrive initiative, P&G created innovative partnerships with retail customers. This has enabled these retailers—along with more than 100 million shoppers annually—to participate in the cause and make significant commitments to build Hope Schools with P&G.

P&G Hope Schools have benefitted over 100,000 children across China in the last 12 years, and over 1,000 P&G China employees are actively enrolled to support program activities.

Protecting vulnerable babies
Pampers and UNICEF provide vaccines

Pampers has partnered with UNICEF on a Live, Learn and Thrive effort with a goal to help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus, a preventable disease that claims the lives of 140,000 infants and 30,000 mothers in developing countries each year—that’s one death every three minutes. This international initiative began two years ago in Latin America and has expanded to Western Europe, Japan and the U.S., providing funds for more than 50 million doses of vaccine.

Consumers are an integral part of the success of this program. For each purchase of specially marked packages of Pampers, P&G donated a vaccine to UNICEF. Recently, Pampers committed to a three-year global partnership between Pampers and UNICEF to help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus in 46 remaining countries by 2012.

Teaching healthy habits
Safeguard helps make hand washing fun & effective

Studies show that proper hand washing is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to help keep children healthy. Safeguard and its health partners in the Philippines set out on a Live, Learn and Thrive effort known as “Mission 5-5-5”—to teach 5 children every hour for the next 5 years about hand washing with soap to protect against 5 common health threats: diarrhea, cough, colds, pneumonia, and skin rashes. Similar programs are also run in China, Pakistan and other developing nations, educating nearly 10 million primary school children each year on the necessity of hand washing and good hygiene practices.
