Facing the Health Crisis, Procter & Gamble and Its Brands Are Facing the health crisis, Procter & Gamble and its brands are mobilized over time. The Group provides support in France and Europe through financial donations and essential products, the manufacture of hydroalcoholic gel in its factories and the "Together with the Red Cross" relay supported by the 12 ambassadors of 8 flagship brands of the Group : Always Discreet, Ariel, Braun, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Oral B, Unstoppables and Venus. 23 April 2020, Asnières-sur-Seine, France The Procter & Gamble Group is committed in Europe and France to the fight against the coronavirus through a support plan and the mobilization of its ambassadors, to accompany communities, relief organizations and individuals affected by this global crisis. Procter & Gamble has made an initial donation of $10 million in P&G health and personal hygiene products, household products and disinfectant products, as well as a financial contribution of $1 million to the International Federation of Red Cross Societies to support its actions in Europe; donations that cover medical supplies, vital healthcare services and hygiene training for vulnerable people. These donations will enable Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers and staff across the continent to continue saving lives and to continue their vital work on the front lines of the fight against VIDOC-19. In France, the group is committed through several actions. The Procter & Gamble brands and their ambassadors alongside the French Red Cross Through its brands - Ariel, Always Discreet, Braun, Head & Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Gillette, Oral- B, Unstoppables, Venus - the Procter & Gamble Group is committed to the French Red Cross with donations to support its action and enable the volunteers and staff of the French Red Cross to continue saving lives and to continue their essential work on the front line of the fight against VIDOC- 19. This operation is carried out in partnership with 12 brand ambassadors including Cristina Cordula, Mac Lesggy, Matt Pokora, Caroline Receveur, Nathalie Simon, through the appeal "Together with the Red Cross". On their social networks, the ambassadors act as the voice of the French Red Cross to engage their communities to join its action through a call for donations. The ambassadors are thus reminding people of the need for the Red Cross to carry out its mission to help vulnerable people by supporting the French Red Cross Covid-19 appeal for donations: a comprehensive national operation to respond to the multiple consequences of this crisis. Their actions will be expressed, for example, through the Red Cross in your home, a solidarity service for vulnerable people, in the field of child protection, emergency transport, or some of its establishments. A daily commitment to our historical partners and our sites The two Procter & Gamble plants in Amiens and Blois, which have been active in their regions for decades, are working to make hydroalcoholic gel manufactured on site available to local health structures. Each week, 1500 litres of hydroalcoholic solution are produced by the group's factories, a commitment that will be maintained for as long as necessary. The plants also provide other protective equipment for healthcare professionals: more than 15,000 masks have been supplied, and packages including hats, gloves, overalls and P&G products such as Mr. Clean or Herbal Essences have been provided to the EHPADs. A daily commitment by P&G France to its long-standing partners, Dons Solidaires and SOS Children's Villages. In addition, Procter & Gamble has been a partner for more than 15 years of the Dons Solidaires association, which collects unsold goods from companies and redistributes them to 750,000 people in precarious situations. The exceptional conditions linked to the coronavirus have led the company to increase donations and specific commitments. In this respect, 7 lorries of basic necessities leave our warehouses in Amiens every week and more than 1,000 pallets are still waiting to be delivered. In concrete terms, this represents a 1st delivery of donations of more than 220,000 products. This will be followed by weekly deliveries of 100,000 personal hygiene products distributed by Dons Solidaires to the most needy (shampoos, detergents, nappies, razors, toothpaste, sanitary towels). Since 2014, Procter & Gamble France has also been a sponsor of the SOS Children's Villages association, whose mission is to protect and welcome children. Recently, the company made a donation to support the educational monitoring and development of children's motor skills during confinement, as well as the supply of masks and hydroalcoholic gels to protect the health of children, young people and staff in SOS Villages. Benjamin Binot, Managing Director France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg of Procter & Gamble: "In the current situation, it seemed natural to us to support all our long-standing partners as well as local infrastructures and hospitals, both at national and local level. Thanks to the French Red Cross, Dons Solidaires, SOS Children's Villages and our factory employees who are doing their utmost to respond to this unprecedented crisis. We wish to make a long-term commitment and will maintain our actions over time. » Grégoire Ducret - Deputy Director for Strategy and Innovation at the French Red Cross: "The French Red Cross would like to thank Procter & Gamble for its support, which enables us to tackle this health crisis by helping the most vulnerable people. » - END - About Procter & Gamble P&G improves the lives of nearly five billion people around the world with a portfolio of quality brands that have earned the trust of consumers.

  • Vicks® Launches New Nature Fusion™ Line
    VICKS® LAUNCHES NEW NATURE FUSION™ LINE Nature Fusion cough, cold and flu products offer the powerful symptom relief, plus real honey for taste Cincinnati, OH, August 11, 2011 – Procter & Gamble’s (NYSE: PG) Vicks brand announced today that it is launching Nature Fusion, a new line of over-the-counter cold, cough and flu relief products that combine powerful symptom relief with real honey for flavor. What inspired Vicks Nature Fusion? Research shows that consumers increasingly desire more natural and less artificial ingredients in their over-the- counter medications, so Vicks is answering the call with Nature Fusion, which joins the powerful science of symptom relief with the best of nature. Beginning with the original Vicks products launched in 1894 which contained Eucalyptus oils from Australia and menthol from Japan, Vicks has a long history of using ingredients inspired by nature. Now, Vicks is continuing this tradition by blending real honey for flavor in new Vicks Nature Fusion. “For more than 120 years, Vicks has helped people feel better by providing proven treatments to deliver effective relief from cold, cough and flu symptoms,” says Andy Cipra, Vicks Brand Manager. “Today, with the launch of Nature Fusion, Vicks is proud to offer the same powerful medicine now flavored with real honey.” Honey has often been favored as a flavor, but lately it has been getting even more buzz as consumers increasingly seek natural ingredients in the products they use. The addition of honey provides aesthetic properties such as flavor, sweetness and thickness. Nature Fusion is also free from alcohol and gluten.

They had spent 18 months developing P&G’s first compact laundry detergent for the European market, and now, as they were finalizing the details of a meticulously planned pan-European launch, they learned that Unilever was about to launch a similar product in France—two months ahead of P&G. Meyer, European Regional Vice President for laundry products, and his team were brainstorming responses to their longtime rival’s pricing tactics, package sizes, and a premium-niche marketing strategy, all of which differed significantly from P&G’s European plan. As the train sped towards Paris, they debated whether to change their approach to the French market to meet Unilever’s challenge, or continue with their original intention to implement a consistent Europe-wide strategy.

  • Hoe P&G Het Leven Van De Belgische Consument Verbetert Sinds 1956
    Hoe P&G het leven van de Belgische consument verbetert sinds 1956 Productlanceringen in België en overnames door P&G 1959 1990 1965 1993 EEN 60-JARIG SUCCESVERHAAL We zijn verheugd en trots dat we samen met u 60 jaar innovatie van P&G in België mogen vieren. Sinds we lang geleden, in 1956, onze eerste werknemer in dienst namen, zijn onze dagelijkse levens en gewoonten onvoorstelbaar veranderd. P&G was er altijd, met baanbrekende, innovatieve, ondenkbare producten. Maar voor een bedrijf als P&G is eigenlijk niets ‘ondenkbaar’. Onze 1966 1995 bedrijfscultuur is er één die uitdagingen omarmt als nieuwe op- portuniteiten. De niet-aflatende passie en gedrevenheid van onze Belgische teams doorheen die 60 fascinerende jaren is waarom we nu terecht kunnen stellen dat P&G België één van de juwelen is op de kroon van onze internationale onderneming. Ons Brussels Innovation Center heeft echt een essentiële rol ge- speeld in die geschiedenis boordevol innovaties. Het is uitgegroeid 1967 1997 tot een wereldwijd Center of Excellence voor was- en reinigings- middelen. Onze onderzoekers en ingenieurs stoppen jaren en jaren van onderzoek en ontwikkeling in elk product dat we op de markt brengen, waarbij ze altijd uitgaan van diepe inzichten in de behoef- ten van de consument. België kan terugblikken op een rijke traditie van ‘premières’. In België werd de eerste P&G-fabriek op Europese bodem geopend. 1971 1999 In België zijn de enzymatische poeders, vloeibare wasmiddelen en pods uitgevonden en geïntroduceerd. Vandaag, zestig jaar later, zijn heel wat van onze producten uitge- ® groeid tot iconische merken die elke Belgische consument dagelijks tegenkomt.
