Sustainability report highlights moves to transforming waste into worth through innovation, partnerships
CINCINNATI – The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) has  released its 16th annual sustainability report, detailing projects and goals that are reducing the environmental footprint of the company and of those who use its products, while improving social conditions for those with the greatest need.
P&G CSR 2014 video screen grabUnderlining the company’s commitment to create industry-leading brands and products, while conserving resources and protecting the environment, the report highlights P&G reaching its waste reduction goal six years early and its pulp certification goal a year early, and growing to 70 the number of global facilities delivering zero manufacturing waste to landfill (video). In addition, P&G delivered its 7 billionth liter of clean drinking water through The P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program (CSDW) and delivered disaster relief to millions of people around the world.
Other achievements featured in the report include:
The report details P&G’s work on:
Waste, exceeding its waste reduction goal by achieving only 0.4 percent of input materials being disposed of as manufacturing waste to landfill across all its facilities; the goal called for less than 0.5% by 2020.
Pulp, exceeding its third party certification goal by having 54% of the virgin wood fibers used in its tissue and towel products from Forest Stewardship Council® certified sources; the goal called for 40% by 2015.
CO2, reducing total emissions by 14%, and installing two co-generation energy systems that will considerably reduce CO2emissions, including 120,000 less metric tons per year at its largest global plant in Mehoopany, Pennsylvania.
Cold-water washing, helping drive to 53% the number of machine laundry washes done in cold water through consumer education programs, closing in on its goal of 70% cold-water washes, as washing in hot water is one of the largest uses of energy in a family home.
Water, committing to 25% less water in every dose of liquid laundry detergents sold in North America by 2018.
Packaging, delivering innovations including Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle that includes a 2.5x compaction formula with 45% less packaging and 64% less water per bottle, along with a unique single-dosing cap that ensures people don’t use too much.
Product Formulation, committing to another round of compaction in its liquid laundry detergents by 2018 in NA, with 25 percent less water, less CO2 and less plastic.
Social programs, exceeding its goal of improving the lives of 50 million people annually through its social programs, including Disaster Relief and CSDW.
“Our teams are driven to make a significant, positive and lasting impact on the communities we serve through our operations, product designs and innovative partnerships, and this year’s report showcases the results of that dedication,” said Martin Riant, P&G executive sponsor of Sustainability and group president, Global Baby and Feminine & Family Care. “Our work to drive zero manufacturing waste to landfill across our manufacturing facilities has exceeded expectations with nearly 50 percent of our sites achieving this goal since 2010.”
The report also highlights four new 2020 sustainability goals P&G launched in October:
Reduce water usage at manufacturing facilities by 20 percent per unit of production
Provide 1 billion people access to water-efficient products
Double the use of recycled resin in plastic packaging
Ensure 90 percent of product packaging is recyclable or that programs are in place to create the ability to recycle it
“Our teams, in collaboration with some leading external partners, have delivered high-impact innovations and projects, helping us exceed goals in two key areas of the business, and closing in on others. We recognize that there is more to be done and are committed to focusing on areas where we can make the biggest positive impact,” Mr. Riant said.
