Includes a first-of-its-kind goal to restore
more water than is consumed during use of P&G products in two
high water-stressed areas.
Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) today announced a major
expansion of its environmental sustainability efforts that will
make more water available in critically water-stressed areas around
the world. This comprehensive effort includes a global portfolio of
water restoration projects which will provide a range of solutions
to protect ecosystems, replenish groundwater supplies, reduce the
amount of water diverted from essential bodies of water, and
improve water quality for the communities and wildlife that depend
on them.

River of Progress to 2030. At P&G,
we want to help build a water positive future that can sustain
people and nature, now and for generations to come. Our River of
Progress to 2030 shows how we are reducing water use in
manufacturing, responding to water challenges through innovation
and partnerships, and supporting projects to restore water for
people and nature in 18 water-stressed areas around the world. We
continue to make progress to achieve our 2030 goals by improving
water efficiencies in our facilities and manufacturing plants;
working with on-the-ground partners to improve, manage, and protect
water resources; and tapping our experience in innovation and
consumer understanding to unlock new solutions to water challenges.

The significance of this effort, and P&G’s commitment, is
highlighted by a first-of-its-kind goal to restore more water than
is consumed when using P&G products in the critically
water-stressed metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and Mexico
City.
P&G’s strategy aims to help build a water positive future by
reducing water use in manufacturing, responding to water challenges
through innovation and partnerships, and supporting projects in 18
water-stressed areas around the world, including new projects
announced today. These new goals and actions build on the Company’s
existing Ambition 2030 sustainability efforts across climate,
nature, waste, and water.
“Water is one of the world’s most critical natural resources,
and something too many often take for granted. For years we have
been focused on reducing water use in our operations and innovating
to help consumers use less water in the home, but there is much
more we can all do,” said Jon Moeller, P&G President and Chief
Executive Officer. “Together with our partners, we are expanding
our efforts that will improve, manage, and protect water resources
in stressed areas that will help sustain people and nature for
generations to come.”
Restoring Water for People and Nature, Our New 2030
Goals
Nearly one-third of people globally are experiencing water
scarcity and that number is expected to double by 2025. We need
water to make our products and consumers need water to use most of
our products. Our new goals and projects focus on addressing the
water that does not go back down the drain or to local systems from
our operations and, for the first time in our industry, from
consumer use of products. We worked closely with the World
Resources Institute (WRI) Water Program to ensure these new water
targets align with the best science and emerging target-setting
practices.
P&G has added two new goals to its already comprehensive
program:
Making of our products: Restore more
water than is consumed1 at P&G manufacturing sites in 18
water-stressed areas around the world.
Use of our products: Restore more
water than is consumed2 when using P&G products in the high
water-stressed metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and Mexico City.
These metropolitan areas account for over half of the total water
consumed during the use of P&G products across 18 priority
water-stressed areas.
We will achieve these goals through partnerships with leading
environmental organizations and restoration projects that improve,
manage, and protect water resources.
“P&G’s water target applies a rigorous analytical approach
and complements the other aspects within their comprehensive water
stewardship strategy. It adds a first-of-its-kind ambition to
address water consumption and offers a roadmap for others to adopt
targets in the face of our shared water problems,” said Colin
Strong, Corporate Water Stewardship Lead, World Resources Institute
(WRI) Aqueduct Program.

New Projects for Greater Impact
We are working with on-the-ground partners who have a deep
knowledge of local challenges to support solutions that will result
in meaningful benefits to water in each basin. Today, we’re
announcing six new restoration projects throughout the Bear River
basin in Utah and Idaho, in partnership with the Bonneville
Environmental Foundation’s (BEF) Business for Water Stewardship
program. These projects are in addition to the eight projects we
began supporting in 2020 in California’s Sacramento River basin and
the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) System Conservation Project
in Arizona, which helps shore up declining water levels in Lake
Mead. In total, these projects are expected to restore billions of
liters of water for people and nature by 2030 and provide other
important benefits to surrounding communities.
“P&G is innovating and setting a high bar for how a company
can address shared water issues,” said Todd Reeve, BEF CEO and
Business for Water Stewardship Co-Founder. “By deploying a
comprehensive approach that tackles water challenges in the home
and supports key local restoration projects in stressed watersheds,
P&G is leveraging its unique capacity in new and high-impact
ways that should establish the standard for corporate environmental
water stewardship.”
In the coming years, we will work with new and existing partners
on additional water restoration projects with long-term benefits in
other priority water-stressed areas around the world.
Responding to Water Challenges Through Innovation and
Partnerships
We know we can have a greater impact when we work together.
Through longstanding partnerships, we have brought our experience
in innovation and consumer understanding to unlock new solutions to
water challenges. As part of our new comprehensive strategy, we are
building on our existing efforts:
- Providing Clean Drinking Water to People in Need. We aim
to provide 25 billion liters of clean drinking water to children
and families in need around the world by 2025 through our
Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program.
- Accelerating Water Innovation at Scale. We are
leveraging our water chemistry expertise and water-efficient
products to make everyday living more sustainable as founding
members of the 50 Liter Home Coalition.
- Enabling People to Reduce their Water Footprint.
Together with our brands, we will continue to create and share
products, tools, and information to help our consumers use less
water at home, because we know that small actions at home can make
a world of difference for our planet. We are focused on developing
innovations that deliver irresistible superiority in a sustainable
way, including:
- Cascade is helping to reduce daily water use in
households across the U.S. by encouraging people to skip
pre-rinsing dishes and instead run the dishwasher every night.
Contrary to popular belief, the dishwasher uses four gallons of
water per cycle, while the sink can use that same amount in just
two minutes. And with an innovative formula containing enzymes that
latch on to and break down food particles, Cascade Platinum gives
consumers a superior clean without the pre-wash3. By skipping the
sink with Cascade and choosing the dishwasher, households can save
up to 100 gallons of water per week4.
- Pantene and Rejoice have developed No Rinse
Conditioners that enable people to condition and nourish their hair
without the need for water. Thanks to its light and fast absorbing
formula, this new conditioning offering is applied outside of the
shower on damp or dry hair, leaving hair more manageable and softer
to the touch so it can be dried and styled as usual.
- Fairy brilliant cleaning delivers excellent results,
without pre-washing. By skipping the pre-wash by hand before using
the dishwasher, households can save up to 12 liters of water per 2
minutes on average.
We’re continuing to make progress toward making our facilities
and manufacturing plants more water efficient. All P&G sites
located in water-stressed areas are dedicated to understanding
their local watersheds, creating action plans, and addressing key
challenges impacting our operations and the local communities where
we operate.
“Creating a ripple effect toward a water positive future
requires widespread solutions – from manufacturing and product
innovations that improve consumers’ lives in a sustainable way, to
restoring water for nature, wildlife, and communities,” said
Virginie Helias, Chief Sustainability Officer. “While there will
always be more to learn, P&G is dedicated to doing our part to
care for our planet, our shared home.”
