The EU Ecolabels for Laundry detergents and Industrial and Institutional Laundry detergents is under revision. This report is meant to provide a first evaluation of likely areas for investigation and provides the scientific evidence for the revised EU Ecolabels criteria. The identification of the main hotspots is carried out in this study by means of an initial extensive literature review and subsequent LCA studies. LCA studies shown that the energy used for heating the washing water during the use stage, has an impact in all the environmental categories under study but especially on fossil fuel depletion and global warming potential. The extraction and processing of raw materials that cause impacts on the categories such as mineral depletion, land use and energy use as well as the emissions to the environment (discharge of wastewater) has also impacts of importance depending on the scenario under consideration. The study reveals that there are several improvement opportunities such as detergent compaction which can bring savings in resources or reduction in the wash temperature. Changes in the detergent formulation can also reduce the impacts in different categories. This preliminary report takes part of the revision of the EU Ecolabel criteria for six detergents and cleaners related product groups. The EU Ecolabel revision process is foreseen to be held simultaneously. The progress of these discussions can be followed through the official website: http://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/detergents/index.html 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS .......................................................................................... 3 Executive summary ............................................................................................ 7 1.

  • Business North Carolina's Third Power 100 List of the State's Most
    elcome to BUSINESS NORTH CAROLINA’s third Power 100 list of the state’s most influential business leaders. This year’s report features stories and interviews Wwith 27 people including the state’s most powerful pork producer, the owner of the nation’s biggest furniture store, and the banker charged with reversing Wells Fargo’s deteriorating customer-service reputation. North Carolina’s rapid growth as a major business center makes selecting the list more interesting — and difficult — each year. There are more powerful people than ever before. After taking suggestions from all corners and quizzing dozens of people for ideas, the edito- rial team settles on the names. We look for leaders who are representative of some broad categories of power: ■ Institutional powerhouses, such as university presidents Vincent Price and Jose Sartarelli and hospital bosses Michael Waldrum and Julie Ann Freischlag. ■ Middle-of-the-action folks, creating a lot of activity and, sometimes, making a lot of money. Drug-discovery investor Fred Eshelman and venture capitalist David Gardner are examples. ■ Outstanding entrepreneurs, including lending genius Doug Lebda and video-game superstar Tim Sweeney. ■ Networking powerhouses, such as lawyer Rob Harrington and banker Jim Hansen. ■ Pillars of commerce, such as software icon Jim Goodnight, auto dealer Don Flow and bank investor Chip Mahan. ■ Public company CEOs including Susan DeVore, Lynn Good and Kelly King. ■ Real estate kingpins including Andy Andrews and Roy Carroll. ■ Singular talents who make major waves in their spheres. Examples this year include restaurateur Ashley Christensen and hip-hop star J. Cole. ■ Thought leaders, including marketing experts such as Peggy Brookhouse and David Mullen.

  • Gillette's Controversial Advertisement: a Content Analysis on Commercializing Social Issues by Emily Ohlhoff
    Gillette's Controversial Advertisement: A Content Analysis on Commercializing Social Issues By Emily Ohlhoff April 2019 1 Introduction th On January 13 ​ , 2019 Gillette released an advertising campaign highlighting the ​ responsibility men have to stand up against bullying, sexual harassment, and sexism. The campaign aligns with the #MeTooMovement, by exposing the toxic masculinity present in their previous advertisements as well as in other media. Gillette currently dominates the male personal-care product industry, holding over half of the global market share for razors (Tiffany, 2018). Is Gillette recognizing their social responsibility or are they catering to Millennials to stay competitive? Gillette is a 117-year-old brand that was created by King C. Gillette. King’s patent was granted for the ‘safety razor’ in 1904. He opened The Gillette Safety Razor Company in South Boston, and although his sales started off steady, they peaked in WWI after the US Government ordered 3.5 million razors to issue to soldiers (Mulreany, n.d.). After the troops returned home, the ex-service men became loyal customers and continued to buy Gillette products. The brand went through a lot after the passing of King Gillette in 1932, including diversifying products in 1936 with the introduction of Gillette shaving cream, purchasing Paper Mate Co. in 1955, having a rivalry with Bic, paying $188.5 million for Oral-B Laboratories in 1984, and much more history. Gillette remained competitive by evolving their products as consumer demand changed (Mulreany, n.d.). Although their past financial decisions deemed successful, their taste in advertisements have not always been the most progressive.

  • Tampon Taxes and Menstrual Inequity
    Copyright 2018 by Jorene Ooi Printed in U.S.A. Vol. 113, No. 1 Notes BLEEDING WOMEN DRY: TAMPON TAXES AND MENSTRUAL INEQUITY Jorene Ooi ABSTRACT—In recent years, the problem of menstrual inequity has attracted increased attention. Most states impose a sales tax on menstrual hygiene products—a “tampon tax.” A burgeoning social movement has sought to end the tampon tax, and lawmakers have taken notice by introducing, and in some cases successfully passing, measures to repeal the tax by exempting menstrual hygiene products from the sales tax. This Note evaluates, from a tax policy standpoint, the pros and cons of repealing the tampon tax. It argues that although repeal is usually undesirable as a matter of tax design, the tax should nevertheless be repealed both because menstrual hygiene products are necessities and because the tax is discriminatory. Building on this conclusion, this Note further argues for a women’s menstrual health credit, provided to all women of menstruating age, on the basis that a tax credit would better bridge the financial disparity gap between women who must pay for menstrual hygiene products and men who do not. Along the way, this Note also compares the proposed credit to other proposals to combat menstrual inequity, such as a free-tampons program and expanding welfare benefits to include tampons, concluding that the tax credit would create fewer administrative complexities, would reach more women overall, and is less stigmatizing. AUTHOR—J.D., Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, 2018; B.A., Northwestern University, 2015. I am deeply grateful to Professors Sarah Lawsky and Kyle Rozema for their invaluable guidance and support in writing this Note.

Method References 11 3 INTRODUCTION Composite samples of powder laundry detergent were analyzed for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, and zinc to develop background information on the potential contribution of these products to the heavy metal contamination of municipal sewage. The Soap and Detergent Association (SDA) previously sponsored a study in which the concentrations of these same heavy metals were measured in composite samples of seven categories of cleaning products which are known to be disposed into sewage. Since the completion of this study, powder laundry detergents have undergone widespread reformulation. This matrix was reexamined to determine if the heavy metal content was altered. SAMPLE COLLECTION Eleven different brands of powder laundry detergent were collected from stores in three California cities: Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, and San Jose. A 35 - 45 ounce container was to be purchased in each municipality. Table I was reprinted from The Soap and Detergent Association scope of work and lists the product brands to be collected and composited. Table 2 lists the container size collected in each area.

  • 2021 Proxy Statement
    2021 Proxy Statement Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 12, 2021, at 12:00 p.m. Letter from our Chairman, President, and CEO August 27, 2021 Fellow Procter & Gamble Shareholders: I hope this year’s Proxy Statement finds you safe and well. The year we just completed was marked by uncertainty, volatility, and challenge, both for our Company and for many of us personally. Nevertheless, P&G people continued to step up and step forward to keep each other safe, to serve consumers, and to support communities around the world. Importantly, these priorities are completely congruent with our long-term strategic choices. Our integrated strategy was delivering strong results before the crisis, it is serving us well during the pandemic, and we believe it will continue to serve us well after the crisis through a portfolio of daily-use categories where performance drives brand choice; superiority across product, package, brand communication, retail execution and value; productivity in all areas of cost and cash; constructive disruption in all facets of our operations; and a more agile, accountable, and empowered organization. Because of the hard work of P&G people and the underlying momentum generated by our integrated strategy, our overall business remained strong. I invite you to read more about our results, our immediate priorities, and our long-term growth strategy in our 2021 Annual Report. This volatile year has served as a pointed reminder that Corporate Citizenship—our collective Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and impacts, together with the related activities and commitments we have made—cannot be something done on the side.
