P&G is not an energy-intensive business, compared to many others, mainly because it formulates products from commercially available raw materials. Despite being one of the largest companies in the world in terms of sales, its carbon dioxide emissions are less than 0.01 per cent of the total global emissions from combustion sources.
However, P&G is firmly committed to reducing this amount as much as possible. P&G is concerned about the potentially negative consequences of climate change and believes that the scientific evidence warrants action.
P&G supports efforts to combat global warming under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and encourages others, whether nations, organisations or individuals, to do so as well.
To this end, P&G has adopted a two-pronged approach.
On one hand, P&G is trying to further reduce the amount of emissions it has already cut from its own operations, with a clear company-wide Environment Quality Policy and ongoing manufacturing and plant initiatives plus other measures aimed at making a difference in the future.
On the other hand, P&G is also committed to helping you, its consumers, cut your energy use and emissions when using P&G products.
