2019 Citizenship Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2 • The Procter & Gamble Company

Dear Stakeholders,We’ve built Citizenship into our business, and it’s not only doing good,it’s building trust and equity with consumers, and driving growth andvalue creation — allowing us to be a force for good and a force for growth.
The force for good and force for growth concept is important.
We serve shareholders and investors, but we also serve employees,
business partners, suppliers, communities, governments and thebroader world around us. We have a responsibility to all our stakeholders.
That’s why our Citizenship platform is built in, not bolted on. It’s not a
separate thing we do on the side — it’s how we do business every day
around the world.
In fact, one of the reasons why I believe we’redelivering stronger results is because we’ve
activated the full capability of P&G people —a key tenet of our Diversity & Inclusion work.
A diverse team with an inclusive environmentthat values every individual will outperform
a homogeneous team, and that’s what the
97,000 employees of P&G are demonstrating.
In the following pages, you will find stories
that illustrate our commitment to Diversity& Inclusion, Community Impact, Gender
Equality and Environmental Sustainability,
all executed with a strong focus on Ethics& Corporate Responsibility.
For example, we used our voice to shine alight on bias and promote diversity, inclusionand equality with inspirational films like
“Out of the Shadows” and “The Look.” We’ve
helped victims of natural disasters all over
the world, providing the comforts of home.
We challenged the myths that hold womenback in the workplace at global leadershipand industry forums. And, we were thefirst CPG company to join Loop, a circular

e-commerce platform that provides reusable,
refillable packaging for some of our mostpopular products which can be collected,
cleaned, refilled and reused.
One program that keeps on achieving
terrific results is our Children’s Safe Drinking
Water (CSDW) Program. In the last year,
we delivered our 15 billionth liter of cleanwater — a year ahead of schedule — and set
a new goal to deliver 25 billion liters by 2025.
Many of our retail partners get involved
with in-store activations, where buying a
P&G product leads to a donation of water.
This is an excellent example of how doing
the right thing and helping others can also
grow the business. That’s built-in Citizenship,
and CSDW is an outstanding example that
improves lives all over the world.
Another area we’re putting significant effort
against is plastic waste, and we’re working
on a range of solutions to collect, recycle
and reclaim the value of plastics. For example,
we made a new commitment to reduce useof virgin petroleum plastic in our packaging

Impactby 50% by 2030. We developed packaging
for e-commerce that uses 50% less plastic,
and we invented a technology that restoresused polypropylene to ultra-pure recycledresin, making it like new again. We also
helped start and have taken a leadershiprole in the Alliance to End Plastic Waste,
which advances infrastructure development,
innovative solutions, education and cleanup
efforts to end plastic waste in the environment,
especially in the oceans. Ending plastic
waste will require unprecedented levels ofinvestment, innovation and partnerships, andwe’re committed to make a positive difference.
As you’ll see in this report, it’s P&G people
who are leading the way in our Citizenshipefforts, and they, along with our many
suppliers and partners, deserve all the credit.
They are the ones who lead P&G’s programswith incredible passion and expertise, whowork with NGOs to deliver clean water, whoinvent technologies to help revolutionize
recycling, who turn beach plastic into
shampoo bottles, and who use our brands
to promote positive change. Every day,P&G people demonstrate the power ofbeing a force for good and a force for
growth, and I’m proud to share their work.

our partners. And our Principles articulate
our deliberate approach to conducting work
every day. We know that our employees
believe in the personal and business valueof this PVP foundation. In our annual survey,
employees consistently cite our PVPs as
the number one aspect of P&G culture theywould not change. Our philosophy is that areputation of trust and integrity is built overtime, earned every day and provides lastingvalue for our stakeholders.

Good Governance
We operate within the spirit and letter ofthe law, maintaining high ethical standards
wherever we conduct business. In addition,
we believe that strong governance principles,policies and practices contribute to better
results for shareholders. Accordingly, theBoard of Directors has adopted the Corporate
Governance Guidelines, which describe ourcommitment to and guiding principles forstrong governance. We are also a signatory

to provide meaningful oversight, review
and counsel to the Company, as it acts
on behalf of all of our shareholders.

Respecting Human Rights
Respect for Human Rights is fundamental
to the way we conduct our business.
Our Human Rights Policy Statement
communicates our support for the UN
Guiding Principles for Business and Human
Rights, which respect and honor the
principles of internationally recognizedhuman rights. We embrace this commitment
and responsibility of ensuring that humanrights are upheld all along our end-to-end
value chain, which in turn encompasses all
our stakeholders, particularly our employees,
our consumers, the communities where
we do business, and our business partners.

We embrace ourcommitment torespecting humanrights all along our
end-to-end value chain.

Respecting Our Environment
We recognize that we must be responsible
for environmental stewardship and use
resources wisely. Our commitments toenvironmental sustainability are addressedin our Environmental Policy Statements.
Our commitments extend to our business
partners, whom we expect to share thesecommitments and maximize the value andquality of their products by using resources
responsibly, preserving the environment,
and reducing the environmental footprintof their operations. We have made additional
commitments for prioritized materials
including palm, wood pulp and paper
packaging, and business partners are
expected to share these commitments.

We, along with our partners,
are dedicated to using
resources responsibly.

Speaking Up
Our employees hold themselves and one
another accountable for operating with trustand integrity, for stepping up as leaders andowners of the business, and for balancing
stewardship with a passion to win. We arecommitted to creating a work environmentthat fosters open communication andsupports employees in reporting potential
violations. Employees and individuals in ouroperations or extended supply chain canreport potential violations at the Worldwide
Business Conduct Helpline, which is staffedby an independent third party and is available
24 hours a day, seven days a week. We arecommitted to reviewing all allegationsof wrongdoing, and we do not tolerate
retaliation of any kind.

Stakeholder Engagement
We acknowledge that in order to continue
to improve, we must collaborate andengage with our many stakeholders.
This journey of partnership ultimately
furthers our commitment to be a good
corporate neighbor and to improve lives in
the communities where we live and work.

Community
ImpactAs a Company committed to being a force for good and a force for growth,
we believe we have a responsibility to give back to the communities where
we live and work. Providing support to communities around the world is
one of our Citizenship priorities and rooted in who we are. Our innovativetechnology in the P&G Purifier of Water packets can transform lives. Our
brands are well positioned to help people in times of disaster. And eachregion has unique programs to impact lives at a local level. We can makea tremendous positive difference in the lives of so many, and we embrace
the opportunity to make the world a better place.
Transforming Lives Throughthe Power of Clean Water
This year marked a major milestone for oursignature Children’s Safe Drinking Water
Program. In partnership with more than 150
organizations around the world, we achieved
our goal of providing 15 billion liters of clean
drinking water. We are now accelerating ourefforts to help provide clean drinking waterto even more people by delivering 25 billion
liters worldwide by 2025. The program uses

There During Times of Need

P&G BRANDS PROVIDEDISASTER RELIEF

In times of disaster, having a clean shirt
to wear or being able to brush your teeth,
wash your hair or put on deodorant can help
restore a sense of normalcy. Providing theseeveryday essentials is why it is important tobe there in times of disaster. This year, we
provided disaster relief to those impacted bymore than 25 global disasters, including themassive wildfires in California and hurricanes
Florence and Michael that devastated partsof the U.S. When the worst flooding in a
century hit the south Indian state of Kerala,through our partnership with NGOs such as
Americares and World Vision, we reachedapproximately 50,000 people through the
distribution of health and hygiene products.
We also provided enough P&G Purifier of
Water packets to provide 15 million litersof clean water. In Indonesia, we provided
products and monetary recovery support
after the deadly earthquake in Lombok andthe earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi.

Providing Help in Turkey
For four years, we have been working with
the Turkish Red Crescent to provide hygiene
products to Syrian refugees living in camps
in Turkey. We are also providing necessities
to young students and others in Turkey who
cannot afford them. Through our partnershipwith the Red Crescent, we are able to identify
these groups and have donated more than
1.7 million products from our Fabric andHome Care, Grooming, Health Care and Babyand Feminine Care categories in the last
four years. Our Ariel team is also making a
difference through a program that collects
clothes at Migros stores, cleans them anddonates them to children in need. Since
2013, we have reached tens of thousandsof children through this program.

Over the last four
years, we have donated

1.7 million
products to thosein need in Turkey.

The Procter & Gamble Company • 9Vicks Touch of Care Australia
To address the issue of homelessness inAustralia, Vicks partnered with Mission
Australia, one of Australia’s largest not-forprofit community service organizations, for
its new ‘Touch of Care’ campaign. Througha powerful video, Vicks tells the real-life storyof a young woman who fled her home toescape domestic violence, leading her toexperience periods of homelessness as a highschool student. The care she received from ateacher helped her to turn her life around andinspired her to dedicate her life to caring forothers. Today she is a mom and a proud casemanager with Mission Australia — connectingwith the Vicks brand’s purpose to touch
lives and provide care for millions of families
around the world.

China and have now shifted the focusof this program to emotional well-being,
leveraging the power of art to help children
in rural areas. We have secured a three-year
partnership with the China National Centreof Performing Arts (NCPA). Following a
successful first year, a new original Hope
School Children’s Drama Show, “A Little
Wish,” premiered at NCPA. This and theprevious drama, “Spring Lily,” were createdbased on true stories of P&G Hope School
students. Meanwhile, teachers and students
completed a three-phase Drama in Education
training and performed a musical openclass called “Chinese Sights and Sounds”
in Beijing. This training enables children
to learn abstract knowledge throughinteresting interactions and role-play.
By turning education from passive learning
to active learning, P&G Hope Schools areadvancing education through creative,
experimental playgrounds.

P&G Hope School Becomesthe Experimental Field for
Advanced Education

We are also working with our customer
RT-Mart to enhance P&G Hope Schools’
hygiene facilities through a “buy one P&G
product donate one RMB” campaign.
This initiative successfully achieved its
one million RMB target.

2019 marks the 30th anniversary of Project
Hope in China. We have helped build andrenovate more than 200 Hope Schools in

In addition, for years our employees havebeen teaching students about handwashing,oral care, puberty education, and self defense.

Diversity& Inclusion
P&G is a Company that believes in diversity and inclusion. With morethan 140 nationalities represented in our workforce, our own diversity
helps us reflect and win with the consumers we serve around the world.
The more we understand people, their needs and challenges, the better
we can delight them with our products and services. And while diversity
is essential in all we do, we believe inclusion changes the game. Every day
we strive to get the full value of our diversity through inclusion — fostering
an environment where P&G people can be their best, full and authentic
selves in the workplace. But our job doesn’t end there — our belief andcommitment extend beyond P&G’s walls. We are driving action on theworld stage to make a meaningful difference, and we care deeply
about our impact, always striving to make the world a little bit better
through our actions.
Celebrating 50 Years Since
Stonewall with World Pride
We were a proud supporter of Pride activities
all over the world in 2019, using our voice tobuild a more equal world for all individuals.
We teamed up with the Heritage of Prideto become a Platinum sponsor for the 2019
World Pride activities in New York City,
recognizing 50 years since the Stonewall
uprising sparked the global movementfor LGBT+ equality. From Cincinnati toSouth Africa, Peru to Poland and nearly 50
other places in between, thousands of ouremployees showed their support for theLGBT+ community through their participationin Pride celebrations. We also marked amilestone with our 2019 expansion of Pridesupport into Asia with our presence in the
Manila Philippines Pride March.

Thousands of our employees showed
their support for the LGBT+ community
during World Pride events.

Great Minds Do Not Think Alike
With no two diagnoses the same, Autism
Spectrum Disorder is a condition thatneeds careful understanding to enable theindividual to thrive. Full-time employment
for adults on the autistic spectrum is
disappointingly low given the skills that many
autistic people can offer potential employers.
To drive diversity and inclusion and create
innovative growth, we have stepped into therealm of Neurodiversity — an umbrella term
for those who think differently. Programs
have been launched in P&G’s UK, Boston,
Costa Rica and Cincinnati offices to learn asa Company how to hire this dynamic talentand to capture candidates’ unique problemsolving methods. Employees from thisprogram are currently working in the fieldsof R&D and Smart Robotic Automations.
We see these programs as an innovation
strategy to source diverse talents and drive
business results, and early results show
both, leading to plans to expand
the program in the future.

Neurodiversity programs
at P&G are diversifying talentand driving business results.

“The Look” Elevates Awarenessof Racial Bias
In 2017, we tackled racial inequality driven by
racial bias, creating an Emmy award-winning
short film focused on “The Talk” that many
Black parents have with their children to
prepare, protect and encourage them.
Continuing the conversation about racialbias, this year we followed with anothershort film called “The Look,” which follows
a Black man throughout his day as heencounters a variety of ‘looks’ that symbolize
a barrier to acceptance — and differing levelsof bias. These situations are all based onreal-life examples that still happen everyday. Through these films, in conjunction witheducational resources and perspective at
www.talkaboutbias.com, we intend to raiseawareness, encourage dialogue, and enablechange in hearts and minds.

Brands Taking a Stand
Fairy Drops Y to Support LGBT+
Homeless Youth in the UK
Fairy, one of our heritage brands at theheart of family life for more than 50 years,
was at the forefront of our Pride celebrationsin 2019. Through research, we discoveredthat LGBT+ people make up about 7% of
the UK population. Sadly, they make up
almost a quarter of homeless young people
today, often driven from their homes andtheir families through unacceptance —and that’s not FAIR. So, for a limited time,
Fairy became FAIR, dropping the ‘Y’ tosupport LGBT+ homeless youth by donatinga portion of every purchase to the Albert
Kennedy Trust charity.
Pantene and
GLAAD Redefine
What ‘Beautiful’Looks Like Today
As a brand once
known for a particularkind of “beautiful
hair,” Pantene tackled
conventional stereotypes in honor of
Pride 2019 with the launch of “Don’t Hate Me
Because I’m BeautifuLGBTQ+.” The campaign,
made in partnership with GLAAD, took thebrand’s ubiquitous line from its famous 1986
advertisement to redefine what ‘beautiful’looks like in today’s world by featuring a
range of people within the LGBT+ community
and their unique stories of transformation.
The launch of “Don’t Hate Me Because
I’m BeautifuLGBTQ+” also marked theannouncement of Pantene’s partnershipwith GLAAD which will continue to uplift
members of the LGBT+ community bycelebrating inclusion, representation andfreedom of expression.

Gillette Believes in the Best in Men
January 2019 marked the 30-year anniversaryof Gillette’s tagline, “The Best a Man Can Get.”
Since its debut, it has been an aspirational
statement, reflecting standards that manymen strive to achieve. But today manymen find themselves at a crossroads,
caught between the past and a new eraof masculinity.
Gillette asked the question, “Is this the besta man can get?” and in turn, they introduced
the “The Best Men Can Be” campaign.
They released “We Believe,” a short film thatshowcases examples of how men can takeactions, large and small, to create meaningfulchange for themselves, their loved ones, andtheir peers, and set the right example for the
next generation of men. Along with the film,
Gillette committed to donate $1 million peryear for the next three years to non-profit
organizations executing programs designed
to inspire, educate and help men of all ages
achieve their personal “best.”
With “We Believe,” Gillette ignited a worldwide discussion about masculinity. The film
has been viewed more than 110 million times
and shared in school classrooms, universities,
churches and more, and has inspired
programs from Gillette in India, Canada,
Spain and South Africa.

GenderEquality
We aspire to build a better world for all of us — inside and outside of P&G.
A world free from gender bias, with equal voice and equal representation
for all individuals. A world where everyone sees equal. When we do this,economies grow, communities are healthier, businesses can thrive, andthe world is a better place for everyone.
At P&G, we’re focused on three areas where we can have the greatest
impact. First, we’re leveraging our significant voice in advertising andmedia to tackle gender bias. We’re also removing barriers to education
for girls and economic opportunities for women through corporate andbrand programs and policy advocacy. And we’re creating an inclusive,
gender-equal environment within P&G, while advocating for gender andintersectional equality in workplaces everywhere, so that everyone cancontribute to their full potential. In each of these areas, we partner withhighly-engaged organizations that share our commitment, combining
our resources, talents and skills to have a bigger impact.
Always Works to#EndPeriodPoverty
and Keep Girls in School
Lack of access to period products is often
referred to as ‘period poverty,’ and it
causes girls to miss school, sports and otherdevelopmental experiences which can limit
girls’ confidence and potential far beyond
puberty. In countries like Canada, Mexico,
Turkey, the UK and the U.S., a surprisingnumber of girls miss school because they
don’t have access to period products —nearly one out of five girls in the U.S.!
As a brand that has championed girls’
confidence for more than 35 years, Always
launched the #EndPeriodPoverty campaign
to raise awareness of the issue and encourage
people around the world to take action —and they have! Since starting in the UK,
Always has expanded the campaign to 10
countries and donated more than 50 million
period products. In March 2019, the UK
government announced free period products
in secondary schools and universities. In
Canada, the Toronto Public School Board
made a commitment to provide free period
products across its nearly 600 elementaryand secondary schools.
Together with P&G, Always also supported
the launch of the Girls Opportunity Alliance(GOA). We matched public donations up to$250,000 to GOA’s Go Fund Me campaign forgrassroots girls’ education projects around theworld, including puberty education, period
products and other support to help girls stayin school. We know that when we give girls
the opportunity, they seize it #LikeAGirl!

A New Playbook forWorkplace Equality

As a brand made forwomen since 1956,
Secret wholeheartedly
believes women should
not have to sweat being
paid fairly. On the heels of the U.S. Women’s
National Team (USWNT) World Cup win in
July, the Secret brand shocked the world
when it announced that it would donate
more than $500,000 to the USWNT Players
Association in an effort to close the gender
pay gap in U.S. soccer — making it the first
official sponsor to publicly support the
team’s fight for equal pay.

Ariel #ShareTheLoad and Pampers#LoveTheChange Promote Equality
Ariel expanded its 2015 #ShareTheLoad
campaign this year with a new film thatasks, “Isn’t it time we change the way weraise our sons and teach them what weteach our daughters?” Ariel is hoping tochallenge social norms and change hearts,
minds and behaviors. Since the beginningof the campaign, the percentage of Indian
men who think “household chores are awoman’s job” dropped from 79% to 52%.
Pampers research found that nearly three outof four dads feel society places less value on
their parenting role, which is especially evident
when it comes to changing table access inpublic restrooms. So in conjunction with
Father’s Day, Pampers committed to install
5,000 changing tables in restrooms across the
U.S. and Canada by 2021 in connection with
its #LoveTheChange campaign.

At P&G, we are exposing and challenging
the myths about women at work — andadvocating for a new playbook that more
broadly addresses the systems, policies,
processes and bias that hold women backin the workplace and the world. At P&Ghosted #WeSeeEqual forums around theworld, we convened notable advocatesfor gender equality, industry partners,
government representatives and ourown engaged employees, inspiring all tocontinue to advocate for change within
the workplace and in their communities.

Influencing Culture ThroughMedia and Advertising
We understand the opportunity we haveto influence culture through media andadvertising — and we believe that equality
in our ads begins with greater equality
in the advertising industry. This year,
we championed efforts including:•	A ssociation of National Advertiser’s#SeeHer Movement, which promotes theaccurate portrayal of women and girls.
•	Free the Work, which aims to get more
women and underrepresented creators
involved in all aspects of the creative process.
•	#SheIsEqual Summit, co-hosted with
Global Citizen and the Association of
National Advertisers, to inspire broader
action for gender equality during the 2018

#ShareTheCare Helps Workplace
Equality Begin at HomeWe embrace the new expectation thatparenting and caring for the home is for all
genders. Our new parental leave policy inEurope, #ShareTheCare, enables fathers totake an average of eight weeks of paid leave
within the first 18 weeks of their child beingborn or adopted. More than a policy change,
it is a step toward shifting cultural norms bymaking child caregiving gender unbiased.

Consumption
Our leadership brands are working on
innovative programs to create products,
solutions and services that make sustainable
lifestyles seamless, while continuing tooffer the value and superior performance
consumers expect from our brands.
The Brand 2030 framework is our next step
toward meeting our Ambition 2030 goal of“100% of our leadership brands will enable

Ariel
Ariel Europe is striving to makeall its packaging recyclable
by 2022 and to reduce plastic
packaging by 30% by 2025.
The first step was to convert
their SUD tubs to light-weightbags, starting in the UK
as of July 2019, saving 75%
plastic. Additionally, the brandannounced in September 2019
to increase its PCR in Ariel bottles from 25%
to 50% across Europe starting in the firstquarter of 2020.
Pampers
Pampers keeps innovating
toward more sustainablediapering solutions in aneffort to use 30% less 1
diapering materials per baby over theirdiapering time. Using innovation and more
effective materials, the brand has already
reduced the average weight of its diapers
by 18% 2 in the past three years, with thesame trusted dryness. Additionally, Pampers
is leading cutting-edge recycling efforts
for all brands of diapers and wipes, not justPampers, with a commitment to launch
recycling operations in three cities by 2021. 3

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Our goal is to have 100% recyclable orreusable packaging by 2030. In April 2019,
we elevated that commitment to reduce
global use of virgin petroleum plastic in
our packaging by 50% by 2030.
This is an ambitious goal we will achieve
via light weighting, increasing our use ofrecycled plastic, driving conversion to moreconcentrated product forms, and when it
makes sense, using alternative materials.
We estimate this will avoid the use of
more than 300,000 tons of virgin plastic.

100%
of our packaging
will be recyclable
or reusable by 2030.

Testing Reusable Packaging
Loop, a partnership with TerraCycle, is a
global circular shopping platform designed
to eliminate waste. Using the age-old“milkman” concept, participants purchase avariety of household products — including
Tide, Ariel, Cascade, Febreze and Pantene —in durable, refillable packaging conveniently
delivered straight to their doorstep.
Once empty, Loop collects andcleans the packaging to be putback into circulation for reuse.

Protecting Water for People
and Nature
Pressure on water resources is increasing
in many regions across the globe. Urban
populations are growing, demand isoutpacing the water supply, and water quality
is a recurring issue. We recognize this is acomplex issue that requires collaboration
across private, public and civil society to solve.

The Alliance is the foremost
CEO-driven international organization
focused on bringing together industry,
government, communities andcivil society in the fight toend plastic waste.

The 50 Liter Home Concept, spearheaded
by P&G, brings together companies, policy
makers, influencers and communities todevelop and scale innovations for the homethat help solve the urban water crisis and,at the same time, address household energy
consumption and associated GHG emissions.

Major cities around theworld face the prospectof a water crisis.

Joining Forces
to End Plastic Waste

Impacting

In 2019, we joined forces with more than
40 companies that make plastic, use plastic
in their products and packaging, and those
who recycle and manage plastic waste
to form The Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
P&G CEO David Taylor took the lead to serveas the first Chairman of the new Alliance,a not-for-profit organization that plans toinvest $1.5 billion over the next five years to
help end plastic waste in the environment.

P&G achieved asignificant 2020
sustainability goal
ahead of schedule.
We are proud to sharethat we are purchasing 100%
renewable electricity in the U.S., Canada andWestern Europe. These three markets areamong our largest and represent more than
70% of our purchased electricity, signifying
a strong start to P&G’s Ambition 2030 goalof purchasing 100% renewable electricity
globally by 2030.

Research shows that nearly 80% of theplastic in oceans begins as litter on land,
the vast majority of which travels to thesea down one of ten major rivers aroundthe world. Many of these rivers run throughdensely populated areas that lack suitablewaste collection and recycling infrastructure.
The Alliance is supporting an array of projects
and partnerships that focus on solutions infour core areas: infrastructure, innovation,
education and cleanup, with particularemphasis where the need is most urgent
in Southeast Asia.

We are now
purchasing100%
renewable electricity in the U.S.,
Canada and Western Europe.
