Sustainable Forestry: Commitment to Environmental Conservation

    At P&G, the success of our business is intricately linked to the health and sustainability of the natural environment. We believe it is important to help protect and restore critical ecosystems that help sustain our operations, support the wellbeing of people, and help protect the long-term health of our planet.

    We are committed to responsible sourcing of key commodities like wood pulp, palm oil and paper packaging together with respecting human, labor and land tenure rights in our supply chains.

    We are also going beyond responsible sourcing to help restore and protect landscapes near our existing supply chains and invest in natural climate solutions that can remove and store more carbon.

    We recognize we cannot do this alone, which is why we collaborate with our partners to help restore and protect these ecosystems that are critical to people, the planet and P&G.

    P&G Efforts

    Learn how we’re supporting the natural ecosystems that support P&G and beyond.

    • 1. Advancing responsible sourcing in our supply chain.

      We are committed to no deforestation in our wood pulp, paper packaging, and palm supply chains and are delivering on our responsible sourcing goals. Together with our suppliers and partners, we are working with farmers, landowners, Indigenous peoples, and local communities to improve environmental practices and livelihoods in our supply chains.  Learn more by essential material.

    • 2. Protecting, restoring, and improving ecosystems in landscapes important to our business.

      We are advancing nature-based projects important to P&G, people, climate, and biodiversity via:

      • Developing a portfolio of projects in partnership with leading conservation organizations that will protect, restore, or improve more than 1.5 million acres of land in priority landscapes.
      • Advancing Natural Climate Solutions projects to balance any remaining greenhouse gas emissions from our manufacturing operations that are not eliminated by 2030.

    • 3. Partnering on solutions for ecosystems in landscapes important to the broader industry.

      We are supporting transformative and systemic solutions that help protect and build the resilience of ecosystems in landscapes critical to the broader industry in which P&G operates. We are engaged with initiatives such as Rimba Collective, Rainforest Alliance Forest Allies, The Arbor Day Foundation Evergreen Alliance, and WWF Forests Forward. Learn more here
