P&Gs History
William Procter, a candle maker, and James Gamble, a soap maker, immigrants from England and Ireland, respectively, who had settled earlier in Cincinnati, who met as they married sisters, Olivia and Elizabeth Norris, formed the company initially. Alexander Norris, their fatherin law, called a meeting in which he persuaded his new sons-in-law to become business partners. On October 31, 1837, as a result of the suggestion, Procter & Gamble was born. In 1858-1859, sales reached $1 million. By this point, approximately 80 employees worked for Procter & Gamble. During the American Civil War, the company won contracts to supply the Union Army with soap and candles. In addition to the increased profits experienced during the war, the military contracts introduced soldiers from all over the country to Procter & Gamble's products. In the 1880s, Procter & Gamble began to market a new product, an inexpensive soap that floats in water. The company called the soap Ivory. William Arnett Procter, William Procter's grandson, began a profit-sharing program for the company's workforce in 1887. By giving the workers a stake in the company, he correctly assumed that they would be less likely to go on strike. The company began to build factories in other locations in the United States because the demand for products had outgrown the capacity of the Cincinnati facilities. The company's leaders began to diversify its products as well and, in 1911, began producing Crisco, a shortening made of vegetable oils rather than animal fats. As radio became more popular in the 1920s and 1930s, the company sponsored a number of radio programs. As a result, these shows often became commonly known as "soap operas". The company moved into other countries, both in terms of manufacturing and product sales, becoming an international corporation with its 1930 acquisition of the Thomas Hedley Co., based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Procter & Gamble maintained a strong link to the North East of England after this acquisition. Numerous new products and brand names were introduced over time, and Procter & Gamble began branching out into new areas. The company introduced "Tide" laundry detergent in 1946 and "Prell" shampoo in 1947. In 1955, Procter & Gamble began selling the first toothpaste to contain fluoride, known as "Crest". Branching out once again in 1957, the company purchased Charmin Paper Mills and began manufacturing toilet paper and other paper products. Once again focusing on laundry, Procter & Gamble began making "Downy" fabric softener in 1960 and "Bounce" fabric softener sheets in 1972. One of the most

revolutionary products to come out on the market was the company's "Pampers", first testmarketed in 1961. Prior to this point disposable diapers were not popular, although Johnson & Johnson had developed a product called "Chux". Babies always wore cloth diapers, which were leaky and labor intensive to wash. Pampers provided a convenient alternative, albeit at the environmental cost of more waste requiring landfilling. Procter & Gamble acquired a number of other companies that diversified its product line and significantly increased profits. These acquisitions included Folgers Coffee, Norwich Eaton Pharmaceuticals (the makers of Pepto-Bismol), Richardson-Vicks, Noxell (Noxzema), Shulton's Old Spice, Max Factor, and the Iams Company, among others. In 1994, the company made headlines for big losses resulting from leveraged positions in interest rate derivatives, and subsequently sued Bankers Trust for fraud; this placed their management in the unusual position of testifying in court that they had entered into transactions that they were not capable of understanding. In 1996, Procter & Gamble again made headlines when the Food and Drug Administration approved a new product developed by the company, Olestra. Also known by its brand name Olean, Olestra is a lower-calorie substitute for fat in cooking potato chips and other snacks that during its development stages is known to have caused anal leakage and gastrointestinal difficulties in humans. Procter & Gamble has dramatically expanded throughout its history, but its headquarters still remains in Cincinnati. In January 2005 P&G announced an acquisition of Gillette, forming the largest consumer goods company and placing Unilever into second place. This added brands such as Gillette razors, Duracell, Braun, and Oral-B to their stable. The acquisition was approved by the European Union and the Federal Trade Commission, with conditions to a spinoff of certain overlapping brands. P&G agreed to sell its SpinBrush battery-operated electric toothbrush business to Church & Dwight. It also divested Gillette's oral-care toothpaste line, Rembrandt. The deodorant brands Right Guard, Soft & Dri, and Dry Idea were sold to Dial Corporation. The companies officially merged on October 1, 2005. Liquid Paper, and Gillette's stationery division, Paper Mate were sold to Newell Rubbermaid. In 2008, P&G branched into the record business with its sponsorship of Tag Records, as an endorsement for TAG Body Spray. P&G's dominance in many categories of consumer products makes its brand management decisions worthy of study. For example, P&G's corporate strategists must account for the likelihood of one of their products cannibalizing the sales of another. On August 24, 2009, the Irish-based pharmaceutical company Warner Chilcott announced they had bought P&G's prescription-drug business for $3.1 billion.

Heritage
1887 P&G institutes a pioneering profit-sharing program that gives employees an ownership stake in the Company. This significant innovation helps employees connect their vital roles with the Companys success. 1924 P&G becomes the first company to conduct deliberate, data-based market research with consumers. This forward-thinking approach enables us to improve consumer understanding, anticipate consumer needs and respond with products that improve their everyday life. 1941 P&G becomes one of the first companies to formally respond to consumer correspondence by establishing the Consumer Relations department. The addition of toll-free phone numbers in 1973 and e-mail in the 1980s further enhance consumers ability to contact us and keep the consumer at the heart of all we do.

1955 Crest is co developed with Indiana University. This collaboration delivers a product that is a breakthrough in the use of fluoride to protect against tooth decay, the second-most prevalent disease at the time. 2002 P&G develops Naturella feminine pads specifically to meet the needs of low-income women in Latin America. Based on deep consumer understanding, Naturella responds to consumers desire for freshness with chamomile, a unique ingredient never before used in feminine care products.

2005 High Frequency Stores common in developing markets emerge as our largest customer channel. Consisting of nearly 20 million stores across the world, HFS represents a particular opportunity in fast-growing, low-income markets. Through HFS, we connect to consumers with affordable products and packaging specially designed for their needs.

Rob Steele, Vice Chairman of P&G's global Health and WellBeing business announced he will retire from P&G, effective September 1, 2011, after 35 years of service. Effective February 1, 2011, Mr. Steele will serve as Vice Chairman Health Care Strategy. Rob joined P&G in 1976 as a sales representative.

In 1994, Rob was appointed General Manager for P&Gs Dishwashing Products business for North America. He became Vice President in 1997.

Rob serves on the Boards of the Kellogg Company, the United Negro College Fund and the St. Josephs Home for Handicapped Children Dimitri, a global business leader with vast international experience, is Vice Chairman of Procter & Gamble Global Household Care. In his current role, Dimitri is responsible for 35,000 people driving about $38 billion in sales and about $5 billion in profit. He manages roughly half the global sales of Procter & Gamble, overseeing well-known household brands such as Tide, Charmin, Gain, Bounty, Ariel, Downy/Lenor, Dawn, Duracell and Pampers. As a career P&G executive, Dimitri has built a reputation as an in-touch leader who works closely with his team and customers to grow businesses globally using a deep belief in the power of collaboration paired with a deep passion for winning. Born in Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania, Dimitri prides himself on his Greek-African heritage and the pioneering spirit of his grandparents, who left Greece for Tanzania with nothing in order to build their dreams as they lived and worked off the land. His first languages are Greek and Swahili, but his schooling in the United Kingdom later expanded his languages to include English, French, and German, which he uses naturally in his travels around the world. His relentless travel schedule to offices, technical centers, manufacturing plants, customer stores and consumer homes is further example of his drive for being in-touch with deep and immediate engagement of all people at all levels both externally and internally. Dimitri began his career with P&G in 1977 as a Salesman in the United Kingdom, where his natural tendency to engage directly and easily with people helped propel him to Sales Manager in Switzerland and then various advertising and brand management positions in Germany. It was his first country assignments in Egypt (Country Manager and General Manager) and China (General Manager, Regional Vice President and President) where his talent of building and expanding sustained unified brands, businesses and organizations in third-world environments was honed and perfected. His eight-year tenure in China grew the business from disjointed franchises and joint ventures to a wholly owned business. For his efforts in China, Dimitri received the Friendship Award in 1999, Chinas highest award for foreign experts who have made outstanding contributions to Chinas economic and social programs. In 2001, Dimitri left China to establish the current global business unit and market development organization known as CEEMEA or Central Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, which consists of over 110 different countries. As Group President of Global Fabric Care in 2004, Dimitri increased the pace of innovation and scale using processes such as RAMP and established Fabric Care as The Heartbeat of P&G while leading the growth of Downy, Lenor and Gain to become billion-dollar brands. In his current role as Vice Chair Global Household Care, he drove Global Household Care to become the fastest-growing business within P&G by leveraging business strengths globally,

driving scale and fast-tracking innovation across all categories and markets. He is committed to unifying people with hands-on passion and purpose toward the bigger goal, all the while remembering his commitment to the unique individual, whether he or she is a Consumer, Customer or Employee.

Ed grew up in Salem, Massachusetts, and holds a BS in Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts. He joined The Gillette Company in 1978 upon graduation, beginning his career in Boston in what was then known as the Safety Razor Division and quickly rising through the financial ranks in Gillettes Papermate and Oral-B Divisions. Ed spent the early 1990s leading Gillettes North American Oral-B business, competing against the worlds biggest consumer goods companies, including P&G. In the late 90s, he moved to Germany to run Brauns European and Global Selling organizations. Following this, Ed led the redesign and transformation of Gillettes European Operations, and was responsible for the Gillette, Duracell, Braun, Oral-B and Stationery Products businesses. Under his leadership, market shares grew in more than two-thirds of the business by leveraging the scale of the portfolio and increasing brand-building investments by reducing overhead costs. On his return to Boston, Ed created Gillettes first global marketing team, responsible for developing common brand-building capabilities across all business units. At the same time, he also led the creation of the Global Value Chain and led Gillettes turnaround from one of the poorest-performing customer supply chains in the industry to best-in-class globally in less than 18 months. Both of these efforts established strategic points of difference and competitive advantage for Gillette. Prior to the 2005 acquisition, Ed led Gillettes International Commercial Operations, which represented more than 60% of the Companys sales. During Gillettes integration into P&G, he partnered with P&G leaders around the globe in keeping the business on the tracks, while developing integrated staffing plans and best of both go-to-market capabilities. In 2006, Ed assumed responsibility for P&Gs largest region, North America, delivering share growth while driving the implementation of P&Gs new go-to-market capabilities behind a primary focus on in-store execution. He also led the reorganization and simplification of the work between the regional business units and the North American Market Development Organization, driving out overhead costs to increase brand- building funds.

P&Gs MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE


Our organizational structure is comprised of three Global Business Units (GBUs), Global Operations, Global Business Services (GBS) and Corporate Functions (CF). Global Business Units In fiscal year 2009, our three GBUs were Beauty, Health and Well-Being and Household Care. The primary responsibility of the GBUs is to develop the overall strategy for our brands.

They identify common consumer needs, develop new product innovations and upgrades and build our brands through effective commercial innovations and marketing plans. Under U.S. GAAP, the business units comprising the GBUs were aggregated into six reportable segments: Beauty; Grooming; Health Care; Snacks and Pet Care; Fabric Care and Home Care; and Baby Care and Family Care. The following provides additional detail on our GBUs and reportable segments and the key product and brand composition within each.

Fiscal year 2010 changes to Global Business Unit structure

We recently announced a number of changes to our organization structure for the Beauty GBU, which resulted in changes to the components of its segment structure. Effective July 1, 2009, the Beauty GBU will become the Beauty and Grooming GBU and reportable segments under the GBU will move to a new consumer-oriented alignment. The reportable segment formally known as Beauty will become Female Beauty and the Grooming reportable segment will change to Male Grooming. As a result, Female blades and razors will transition from Male Grooming to Female Beauty. In addition, certain male-focused brands and businesses, such as Old Spice and Gillette personal care, will move from Female Beauty to Male Grooming. These changes will be reflected in our segment reporting beginning in fiscal year 2010, at which time our historical segment reporting will also be restated to reflect the new structure. The GBU and segment discussions in the MD&A and accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the organizational structure that existed through June 30, 2009. Global Operations Global Operations is comprised of our Market Development Organization (MDO), which is responsible for developing go-to-market plans at the local level. The MDO includes dedicated retail customer, trade channel and country-specific teams. It is organized along five geographic units: North America, Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe/Middle East/Africa (CEEMEA), Latin America and Asia, which is comprised of Japan, Greater China and ASEAN/Australia/India/Korea (AAIK). Throughout MD&A, we reference business results in developing markets, which we define as the aggregate of CEEMEA, Latin America, AAIK and Greater China, and developed markets, which are comprised of North America, Western Europe and Japan. Global Business Services GBS provides technology, processes and standard data tools to enable the GBUs and the MDO to better understand the business and better serve consumers and customers. The GBS organization is responsible for providing world-class solutions at a low cost and with minimal capital investment. Corporate Functions CF provides the Company-level strategy and portfolio analysis, corporate accounting, treasury, external relations, governance, human resources and legal, as well as other centralized functional support. Strategic Focus P&G is focused on strategies that we believe are right for the long-term health of the Company and will increase returns for our shareholders. The Companys long-term financial targets are:

y o o   y y y

Organic sales growth of 4% to 6%. This is comprised of: 3% to 4% of market growth, plus 1% to 2% of share growth 0% to 1% of mix enhancement and whitespace expansion, plus 1% of growth acceleration behind revenue synergies associated with the Gillette acquisition. Operating margin expansion of 50 to 75 basis points. Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) growth of 10%. Free cash flow productivity of 90% or greater (defined as the ratio of operating cash flow less capital expenditures to net earnings). Capital spending at or below 4% of net sales annually. As a result of the recent global economic downturn, market growth rates have slowed and for 2010 are expected to be below the range that underpins our long-term financial growth targets. We are continuing to monitor market growth and may reassess our long-term targets in the future. In order to achieve these targets, we will focus on three primary areas:

Grow our leading, global brands and core categories. Our portfolio includes 23 brands that generate over $1 billion in annual sales and 20 brands that generate approximately $500 million or more in annual sales. Combined, these 43 brands account for 85% or more of our sales and profits. These brands are platforms for future innovations that will drive sales growth, expand categories for retail customers and differentiate brands in the minds of consumers. Our core categories, Baby Care, Blades and Razors, Fabric Care, Family Care, Feminine Care, Home Care, Oral Care, Prestige Fragrances, Retail Hair Care and Skin Care, have opportunities for continued growth. We will focus on profitable share growth across all of our businesses by leveraging our core strengths in innovation and brand-building. Build business with underserved and unserved consumers. We are increasing our presence in developing markets, where 86% of the worlds population lives. We will increase the amount of sales from these markets by focusing on affordability, accessibility and awareness of our brands. We are extending our distribution systems to reach more consumers through underserved retail channels such as e-commerce and high frequency stores. And, we are creating a broader and deeper product portfolio. Our initiative pipeline has new and improved products that extend and strengthen our category and brand portfolios vertically and horizontally. Continue to grow and develop faster-growing, structurally attractive businesses with global leadership potential. We are continually optimizing our portfolio of brands and businesses with an emphasis on opportunities in Beauty, Health Care and selective portfolio and geographic

acquisitions in Household Care. We will also identify growth opportunities in services, particularly businesses that can be franchised and expanded rapidly. To achieve our targets, we will also leverage core strengths that create competitive advantages and are critical to winning in the consumer products industry: consumer knowledge, innovation, brand-building, go-to-market capabilities and scale. We are placing particular emphasis on execution, simplification and scale as key improvement areas that will enable P&G to create the greatest value and competitive advantage. Finally, we are strengthening the depth, breadth and quality of leadership at all levels of the Company to make P&G a more demand-driven, realtime, future-focused organization.

P&G Childrens Safe Drinking Water Program


Almost one billion people in the developing world do not have access to clean drinking water. As a result, thousands of children die every day. The P&G Childrens Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program reaches these people through PUR packets, 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. Since the program began, more than 3 billion liters of purified drinking water in more than 60 countries have prevented an estimated 120 million days of diarrheal illness and helped save more than 16,000 lives.

CSDW works with over 100 partners to provide PUR packets. The program responds to emergencies including cholera outbreaks, earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters. CSDW and its partners provide clean drinking water in schools, outreach to mothers in health clinics, and clean drinking water for malnourished children, and also help people living with AIDS to live positively.

Pampers Vaccinations

Every year, 59,000 people die from maternal and neonatal tetanusa completely preventable disease. So for the fourth year running, Pampers is teaming up with UNICEF to deliver the vaccines that vulnerable women and their children need. The effort gets our consumers involved. With the purchase of one pack of Pampers, one dose of the vaccine is donated. Our campaign has created the highest awareness ever for maternal and neonatal tetanus, helping put the disease back on the agenda of health authorities. Since 2006, a total of 100 million women and their babies have been protected against maternal and neonatal tetanus. P&G and UNICEF have also teamed up to offer P&G employees in Western Europe the opportunity to take a three-month paid sabbatical and work with UNICEF. The program is aimed at employees who have always wanted to undertake humanitarian work but have not had the chance before. UNICEF benefits from the diverse backgrounds of P&G employees as they apply such skills as communications, promotion, leadership training, and supply chain management. Although resource requirements for UNICEF are ever-changing, three to four assignments are expected per year.

Protecting Futures

Today, more than 600 million girls live in the developing world. Many of these girls miss several days of school each month because they lack basic sanitary protection to manage their periods.

In conjunction with its partners and other external thought-leading organizations, Protecting Futures supports research on the issue and the impact of the interventions the program enables.

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 200th 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 retailersalong with more than 100 million shoppers annuallyto participate in the cause and make significant commitments to build Hope Schools with P&G. P&G Hope Schools have benefited over 100,000 children across China in the last 12 years, and over 5,000 P&G China employees have actively supported its program activities.

P&G and Shiksha: Increasing Access to Education in India India has the worlds largest population of uneducated children, with nearly half of all children there not attending school. The Shiksha program (Shiksha - Hindu for "Education") is dedicated to fighting that trend, helping to provide access to education for more children. The program funds NGO efforts to address the underlying causes of poor access to education, such as poverty, health issues, and access to immunization. In cases where schools dont exist, the program also funds their construction.

Each time a consumer bought a large pack of any P&G brand in India between April and June of 2010, part of the proceeds went toward leading children on the path to education. Shiksha also benefits from the direct involvement of P&G employees. Each year, employees participate in a Shiksha Walk-a-thon, joining their families and others in raising awareness for the cause.

P&G and Feeding America: Fighting Hunger


Every day, 13 million children in the United States risk going hungry. But P&G is partnering with Feeding America to help change that, providing support through a number of efforts aligned with our Live, Learn and Thrive cause.

Clean Hands save Lives


Hand washing is one of the most effective and affordable health interventions, representing a cornerstone of public health. And water alone is not enoughusing soap and water at critical times, such as after using the toilet and before handling food, can help reduce the incidence of diarrheal disease by almost half, and cut respiratory infections by nearly 25%. It is also recommended as a critical action to prevent the spread of influenza H1N1. Establishing good hygiene habits early is essential to protecting people from disease. Thats why Safeguard, in

partnership with NGOs and key governments around the world, has embarked on a public health campaign designed to keep people safe and healthy.

Escudo In Mexico
When the H1N1 flu pandemic swept the world, Mexico was hit hard, and the government closed most of Mexico Citys public facilities to contain the disease. Safeguard, known as Escudo in Mexico, tapped into the deep human insights that mom will do anything to protect the ones she loves, and that protection was more important than ever with the H1N1 threat. Escudo partnered with the government, health officials, and the Mexican Red Cross to launch Global Hand Washing Day. Through a series of in-store displays and TV spots, Escudo touched and improved the lives of Mexican consumers by spreading the message that clean hands save lives. The campaign enabled Escudo to become the number one antibacterial soap in Mexico. It also led to Escudos endorsement by the Mexican Red Crossmaking Escudo the only commercial brand endorsed by the organization.

Safeguard: Building a Great Wall of Hygiene in China and Beyond


The Safeguard Health Great Wall campaign, which also employs the idea that clean hands save lives, aims to engage schoolchildren in China as effective agents for change. The effort broadens health hygiene education in schools, as well as building sanitation facilities in rural areas to encourage hand washing. The programs goal is to educate 10 million children by 2018. Consumer purchases of Safeguard help to fund the program, while volunteer opportunities allow individuals to experience directly the importance of good hygiene. In addition to China and Mexico, similar outreach efforts have also been led by P&G in other countries. In Pakistan, Safeguard will be establishing hand washing facilities in schools and delivering hand hygiene education to approximately 600,000 school children. And in the Philippines, Safeguard will help deliver hand hygiene education to one million school children, while a portion of Safeguard sales go toward building new sanitation facilities

Disaster Relief at P&G


P&Gs commitment to help rebuild lives after widespread disasters is a natural expression of our Purpose to improve lives. Through our people, our products and our partners, we rely on our strengths and our disciplined process to ensure that all of our effortsboth immediate and long-termare making a meaningful difference. Our global disaster response approach allows us to respond quickly and effectively. Our first concern is for the safety and welfare of our employees. Within hours, we are also in contact with our humanitarian partners to understand the scope and impact of the crisis, and how best to respond.

The most immediate way we often help is to provide PUR Purifier of Water packets. Natural disasters can leave places that typically have safe drinking water suddenly without it. These packets transform dirty, unsafe water into clean drinking water in 30 minutes, so they can be very useful in times of crisis. We have worked closely with several of our partners to strategically place depots of PUR packets around the world, making them more readily available when needed. In addition to cash donations, we often provide products. From our soap and personal hygiene products to our laundry, diaper and cleaning products, our brands can help restore a sense of normalcy to the disrupted lives of those caught in the aftermath of a disaster.

Other Global Programs


Our social investments are focused on improving the lives of children in need through Live, Learn and Thrive, our far-reaching global cause. Leveraging the scale of our Company and the passionate, skilled volunteerism of our employees, we are on track to reach more than 300 million children by 2012. Beyond our signature Live, Learn and Thrive programssuch as Childrens Safe Drinking Water, Always/Tampax Protecting Futures, and Hope Schoolsa number of other programs are under way to serve the needs of communities throughout the world. This program contributes to fight against school abandonment in rural areas of Morocco through a partnership with a local NGO. Operation Velo donates bikes to children in villages far from the school, helping them continue to go to school and learn. So far, 1,200 bikes have been provided to students in rural areas. Since then, a very low school abandonment rate has been reported, children have been educated about the rules of the road, and safety equipment such as helmets and armbands have been provided. A widespread consensus has emerged on the importance of early childhood development (ECD) to the long-term well-being of children, and P&G Latin America has identified this issue as its top social priority. Since 2004, P&G has promoted ECD through different projects, with a vision of articulating and evolving those isolated efforts into a single, significant program that truly makes a difference. Our vision is to fully establish by 2015 an ongoing, multi-stakeholder program in Latin America that will enhance the development of children ages zero to six, helping them to learn and thrive in life. Since the programs inception, more than 4,000 children have been accompanied in Argentina to ensure a healthy start. 40,000 Chilean families have been trained to better stimulate their children. 18,000 Mexican children have received their birth registrations. And similar results have been achieved in Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and other Latin American countries. The Manchay Vive program was created to reduce infantile morbidity in Manchay, Peru. It offered preventive activities intended to generate a culture of health.

During the programs duration, clinical histories were compiled for 3,000 children up to age 10. 1,500 children between ages three and seven benefited from nutritional and parasite controls. 1,500 parents received parental instruction, and 1,000 mothers experienced preventive talks and nutritional and medical orientation. More than six million children are hospitalized each year in the United States, forced to confront the challenges of overcoming illness while being away from home in an unfamiliar environment. In order to bring a little comfort and security back to some of these children, Downy fabric softener, in partnership with Quilts for Kids, Inc., has launched the Downy Touch of Comfort program to provide quilts to these children while hospitalized. SOS Enfance Mal Loge is a P&G multi-brand charity campaign that has been running since 2001 to support the housing program of the Fondation de France, one of the largest French NGOs. The campaign is aimed at raising funds to help families with children suffering from poor housing conditions. The objective is to create a decent home environment where children can stay with their parents and live, learn and thrive. In parallel to the funds raised through the purchase of P&G brands, P&G French employees can get personally involved in the program. The employees effort is led by a team of volunteers who organize regular events at the P&G offices to increase the Companys donation. Since 2001, P&G France and its employees have been donating more than two million euros to the Fondation de France, benefiting more than 2,500 families. P&G France supports one of the largest and the most respected NGOs among French consumers, les Restos du C ur. One branch of the association is the Restos-Bbs du C ur, which creates specialized centers to answer the specific needs of underprivileged mothers and children from 0 to 18 months old who live below the standard of living. Every week, this association welcomes mothers with their children in their centers, providing food and basic products for their babies, helping them with administrative forms, guiding them towards appropriate public social bodies, and giving them advice on hygiene and nutrition for their children. In short, these are places where mothers can find help and support and places where children can live, learn and thrive. Recently, two new Bbs du C ur centers have opened, P&G employees have been engaged to volunteer their time, and an in-store campaign collected 285,000 euros worth of donations. P&Gs Commitment to Haiti Disaster Relief P&G immediately started working with many disaster relief partners to move PUR packets into Haiti. Dr. Greg Allgood, Director of our P&G Childrens Safe Drinking Water program, traveled to Haiti to help train field personnel how to use and deploy PUR. Many of our employees around the world generously contributed to a special Company-matched fund that was distributed to these partners for the most urgent needs. We also donated productsbrands like Pampers, Duracell, Always, Crest, Oral-B and Pantene. Our global disaster response approach allows us to respond quickly and effectively. Our first concern is for the safety and welfare of our employees. Within hours, we are also in contact

with our humanitarian partners to understand the scope and impact of the crisis, and how best to respond. The most immediate way we often help is to provide PUR Purifier of Water packets. Natural disasters can leave places that typically have safe drinking water suddenly without it. These packets transform dirty, unsafe water into clean drinking water in 30 minutes, so they can be very useful in times of crisis. We have worked closely with several of our partners to strategically place depots of PUR packets around the world, making them more readily available when needed. In addition to cash donations, we often provide products. From our soap and personal hygiene products to our laundry, diaper and cleaning products, our brands can help restore a sense of normalcy to the disrupted lives of those caught in the aftermath of a disaster.

P&Gs Commitment to China Earthquake Relief


Some P&G employees worked to provide PUR packets, products and monetary contributions. Others worked to repair our facilities and get them operational again in just two weeks. Restoring our operations back to full function helped our employees, suppliers and customers get back into the rhythm of everyday life. P&G employees participated in many volunteer activities, including a trip that 56 employees took to Villa Prat, a town located three hours from Santiago. While there, some of our employees distributed building materials. Others played football, danced and painted with the local children to give their parents a break from the stress of living in temporary housing.

P&Gers Improving Lives


Another component of our Sustainability involves bringing our efforts to life in the communities where we live and work. A number of programs give our employees the opportunity to touch lives directly within their own regions through P&Gs Live, Learn and Thrive cause. P&G supports handicapped children in Korea through a program known as Dreaming Together for the Future. The program, funded in part by P&G product purchases, is centered on enabling children in their self-development. These programs are intended to bring children and teenagers access to vocational education for an otherwise unavailable path to independence. For instance, P&G employees help develop participants skills in areas ranging from baking to journalism. To expand the childrens exposure to new and interesting experiences, P&G employees also lead programs to help handicapped children discover their hidden talents in areas such as art, music, and sports. Since 2005, the program has touched the lives of over 2,000 handicapped children in Korea. Their growth and development is seen not only through demonstration of their new skills but also through the proud and confident smiles they wear on their faces.

The Seeds of Passion program focuses on children from economically and socially unprivileged areas of Targwek, Poland. It provides opportunities for them to develop their skills and passions and get a better start in adult life. These activities take place after school. In the past, this was when these children were vulnerable to taking on habits of alcoholism and drug abuse. The program now reaches 650 children per year. Annually, more than 600 hours of educational activities and workshops are led by P&G volunteers and partner organizations. In fact, one of P&Gs volunteers has helped lead a team of disadvantaged children to win recognition in the annual youth kite making and flying competition. The program has been so successful, it is being expanded to reach 50,000 children over the next two years throughout Poland. In Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania, children in P&G-sponsored orphanages benefit from a program called One Friend is Worth a Million Dollars. As a platform for educational, cultural, and sport activities, 100% of P&G employees in the region participate to help prevent children from dropping out of school for a life on the streets. Building the childrens self-esteem and skills for life are essential for helping them achieve their goals. This objective is achieved through common extracurricular education, sport, and cultural activities held with P&G employees. Activities range from planting pine trees to educational programs such as English lessons, sports lessons, and summer camp. The program reaches 145 children each year. In most cases, the interaction with P&G employees is one-on-one, fostering long-term productive relationships. Success Camp, a P&G program in Saudi Arabia, helps build self-esteem and life skills among orphaned children by training them on such success factors as collaboration, knowledge, and discipline. In addition, P&G employees conduct science and technology training and workshops that open doors to never before considered career possibilities. More than 1,500 children have benefited thus far. Not surprisingly, the success of the participants fosters pride among the many P&G employees who volunteer. This pride is contagious and helps attract more P&G volunteers who will benefit even more children and youth. In Costa Rica, P&G helps provide equal access to education with its program Eliminating Barriers. Launched in conjunction with the start of Live, Learn and Thrive, the program aims to systemically remove the barriers that prevent disabled children from receiving an educationphysical as well as psychological barriers. P&G employees actively participate in renovation projects to eliminate architectural barriers that limit the access of physically challenged students into their schools through the construction of ramps and accessible bathrooms and classrooms. The program also works toward eliminating attitudinal barriers through trainings for teachers and administrative staff, helping to facilitate optimal attention for physically challenged children. Approximately 16,000 children in elementary schools throughout the region have benefited from the program, and more than 600 P&G employees have donated over 2,500 hours of volunteer work to the Eliminating Barriers schools.

The SOS Childrens Villages program provides safe housing for homeless children in Greece, Portugal, and Spain. P&G funding supports education and extracurricular activities, providing children a chance to grow academically, develop their talents, and build their future. P&G employees regularly visit the villages to serve as mentors to the children.

Employee Engagement
Responsibility Matters Our objective is to engage and equip all P&Gers to build sustainability thinking and practices into their everyday work. We are driving efforts to make sustainability top-of-mind for all P&G employees, keeping personal responsibility relevant both at work and at home. At P&G, employees often leave a meeting offering to take the R (responsibility) for a next step or action item. Borrowing from this Company vernacular, we frame our engagement efforts around the Take the R for Tomorrow program. We partner with our suppliers to implement programs that improve the environmental profile of our facilities and enable employees to work in an environmentally conscious workplace. Facilities Jones Lang LaSalle, P&Gs property management partner at offices and technical centers, has teams at each location responsible for energy, water and waste reductions. Through this partnership, we have implemented ongoing efforts aimed at educating employees and influencing more sustainable workplace behaviors. In addition, sustainability criteria are part of any future space assessment to ensure new locations meet strict environmental standards. Here are a few examples of programs:

Water consumption has been reduced through improved cleaning processes and the use of steam in place of water, upgrades to specialty water systems and improved controls on building process equipment During the lunch hour at twelve sites across Asia, the lights turn off to conserve energy In the U.S. and UK, where night time cleaning had previously been normal business, work hours for cleaning staff now begin earlier in order to reduce the number of cleaning hours requiring lighting At many sites around the world, reusable acrylic tumblers have replaced disposable cups for fountain beverages In Cincinnati, OH, reusable plastic containers have replaced cardboard moving boxes

Managed Print Services For the past year, P&Gs Global Business Services has been working with Xerox to simplify our global printing structure, bringing to life a network of more reliable, better-serviced and more capable printers. Today we can print anywhere in the P&G print world, scan to email, print two-sided, eliminate the cover pages, and use smart color. In just one year, P&G has printed 11 million fewer pages, and that number is expected to grow considerably Environmental Sustainability New Long-Term Vision Recently, P&G announced a new long-term environmental sustainability vision. Why now? P&G is the largest consumer packaged goods company in the world today. This very fact, coupled with our Purpose-inspired Growth Strategyimproving the lives of more consumers, in more parts of the world, more completelyrequires us to continue to grow responsibly. And it also requires us to accelerate our commitment to helping solve some of the worlds sustainability challenges

We developed this vision over the course of a year, partnering with external experts and soliciting input from hundreds of P&G employees at all levels and functions. Our complete visionary end-points are outlined below. These end-points are long-term in nature because some of them will take decades to come to fruition.

y y

Using 100% renewable or recycled materials for all products and packaging Having zero consumer waste go to landfills

Designing products to delight consumers while maximizing the conservation of resources

y y y y

Powering our plants with 100% renewable energy Emitting no fossil-based CO2 or toxic emissions Delivering effluent water quality that is as good as or better than influent water quality with no contribution to water scarcity Having zero manufacturing waste go to landfills

What this means A renewable resource is simply defined as one that is produced by natural processes at a rate comparable to its rate of consumption. P&G already uses significant amounts of renewable materials in our products and packaging. However, we still use many nonrenewable materials, such as those derived from petroleum and other fossil fuels. Our vision is to use materials that are renewably sourced. Materials will come from traditional sources such as biomass and agricultural products, and research is also ongoing to understand how raw materials can be derived from biological processes such as fermentation. In addition to being renewably sourced, these materials will also be sustainable, meaning their production will not result in the destruction of critical ecosystems, loss of habitat for endangered species, or other detrimental impacts on the environment or human communities.

What this means In the developed world, waste can be disposed of in four ways: recycling, compost, waste-toenergy, and landfills. The first three give value to the waste, whereas waste that ends up in landfills has no value. In the developing world, waste is primarily disposed in uncontrolled dumps, where it also has no value. Our vision is to have all waste end up in a valued waste stream (e.g., recycling, composting, waste-to-energy without toxic emissions).

What this means Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has shown that for some major P&G products, the largest environmental impact occurs when consumers use our products. As the worlds largest consumer packaged goods company, this represents a significant and unique opportunity for P&G to have a meaningful impact in sustainability. We will continue to enable consumers to reduce their environmental footprint by designing products that meet their needs relative to value and performance and, in addition, allow them to conserve resources. Our cold water laundry detergents (Tide Coldwater, Ariel) are examples. In those instances where consumer habit

changes are required to deliver the environmental benefit, consumer education will be part of the solution.

What this means Renewable energy sources include those based on sunlight, wind, biomass, tides, and geothermal heat rather than fossil fuels. Our vision is that all energy powering our plants will be sourced from on-site renewable sources, or power from the grid that is generated by renewable sources.

What this means P&G is not an energy intensive company, so our CO2 emissions today are relatively small. However, by moving to 100% renewable energy to power our plants, we will drive this number even lower by eliminating petroleum-based CO2. In the future end state, what little CO2 emissions we will have can be expected to come only from renewable biomass. In addition, we envision an end state where all other reportable emissions are driven to zero.

What this means P&G continually improves our operations to preserve the quality of water in the communities in which we operate. We will also ensure sustainable water management by both our operations and consumer use of our products. This commitment includes water reduction goals, use of new technologies, product innovation using a Life Cycle Assessment, and siting decisions using a watershed approach, which looks holistically at water supply where a plant could be built.

What this means Our manufacturing waste can be disposed of in four ways: recycling, repurposing, waste-toenergy, and landfills. The first three give value to the waste, whereas waste that ends up in landfills has no value. Our vision is to have all manufacturing waste end up in a valued waste stream (e.g., recycling, repurposing, waste-to-energy without toxic emissions).
