Dubai, September 28, 2010

Procter & Gamble accelerated its commitment to sustainability by unveiling a long-term environmental sustainability vision.

As part of P&G’s strategy to grow responsibly, the company will work towards a long-term environmental sustainability vision that includes:

- Powering its plants with 100 per cent renewable energy

- Using 100 per cent renewable or recycled materials for all products and packaging

- Having zero consumers and manufacturing waste go to landfills

- Designing products that delight consumers while maximising the conservation of 
resources

The new vision provides P&G with a long-term framework to guide all sustainability decisions and goal-setting within the organisation.

“Accelerating P&G’s commitment to environmental sustainability is a critical component of the company’s ongoing growth strategy to improve more consumers’ lives in more parts of the world more completely,” said Bob McDonald, P&G chairman of the board, president and CEO.

To enable the company to track progress against its long-term sustainability vision, P&G will implement a series of 10-year sustainability goals.

“Under a new partnership, WWF and P&G will continue to work together to address issues of sustainable production and sustainable consumption,” added Carter Roberts, chief executive officer and president, World Wildlife Fund US.-TradeArabia News Service
