KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 (Bernama) -- The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) has established new Environmental Sustainability Goals to inspire positive impact on the environment and society while creating value for the company and consumers.

The goals --

The goals include P&G´s 20 leadership brands which enable and inspire responsible consumption through packaging that is 100 per cent recyclable or reusable, launching more sustainable innovations, and building trust through transparency and sharing its safety science.

Its manufacturing sites will cut greenhouse gas emissions in half, and will purchase enough renewable electricity to power 100 per cent of its plants. The company will also source at least five billion liters of water from "circular " sources.

P&G will continue to create transformative partnerships that enable people, the planet and their business to thrive, including those that stem the flow of plastic into the world´s ocean, protect and enhance forests, expand recycling solutions for absorbent hygiene products and protect water in priority basins around the world.

The company will also engage, equip and reward employees for building sustainability thinking and practices into their everyday work. It will reward progress and integrate recognition into performance assessments.

"We believe P&G can be a force for good and a force for growth, and we are taking a more deliberate approach to delighting consumers while enabling responsible consumption, " said P&G´s chairman, president and chief executive officer, David Taylor.

Previously, P&G has achieved many of its sustainability goals for 2020 in its focus areas on climate, water and waste.
