P&G is committed to helping to solve the world’s sustainability
challenges. We do this through product innovations that
enhance and improve environmental prole with no performance
and value trade-offs (see page 16 to learn about one example,
Tide Coldwater). We do this by reducing the environmental
footprint of our operations. And we do this through our contributions
to helping children in need. We know companies like P&G can
be a force for good in the world. This is a responsibility and an
opportunity that we embrace.

We are inspired and motivated by the world’s sustainability
challenges and are committed to using our technologies,
human capital, global scale and experience to ensure
a sustainable world now and for generations to come.
One example of how we are committed to this effort is
through our global cause, P&G Live, Learn and ThriveTM,
which focuses on improving life for children in need from
birth to age 13. Through our cause, we are reaching more
than 50 million children in need every year with programs
that help them get off to a healthy start, receive access
to education, and build their skills for life.
The signature program for Live, Learn and Thrive is our
Children’s Safe Drinking Water program. The goal of this
program is to reduce the illness and death of children
that results from drinking contaminated water. To date,
70 million packets of P&G’s PURTM Purier of Water have
been provided around the world for emergency relief and
social markets — enough to produce 700 million liters of
safe drinking water.
