Procter & Gamble, Constellation and Community Celebrate One Of Procter & Gamble, Constellation and Community Celebrate One of Nation’s Largest Biomass Renewable Energy Plants New biomass facility to open June 2017 will create 100% of steam needed to run one of P&G’s largest paper manufacturing facilitie • March 18, 2015 12:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time ALBANY, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) and Constellation, a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC), gathered with city, county and state officials today to celebrate the development of an up to 50-megawatt biomass plant that will help run one of P&G’s largest U.S. manufacturing facilities. Scheduled to begin commercial operation in June 2017, the plant will provide 100 percent of the steam, and up to 60-70 percent of the total energy used to manufacture Bounty paper towels and Charmin toilet tissue at P&G’s Albany, Ga., facility. Constellation will build, own and operate the $200 million cogeneration plant, which in addition to supplying steam to the P&G facility, will generate electricity for the local utility, Georgia Power. Representatives from P&G, Constellation and Georgia Power thanked the community for its support of the project, which they described as a win for the community, shoppers who choose Bounty and Charmin products, and each of the partners. Albany Mayor Dorothy Hubbard, and members of the Albany- Dougherty Economic Development Commission commended P&G - a local business for more than 40-years – and Constellation for providing renewable energy and jobs to the community. Construction activities are expected to create up to 500 new jobs over the next two years, with an additional 50 to 70 permanent local jobs for ongoing operations once the plant is built. The biomass plant will significantly increase P&G’s use of renewable energy, helping get the company nearly halfway to its 2020 goal of obtaining 30 percent of its total energy from renewable sources. Currently, eight percent of P&G energy comes from renewable sources around the world powered by wind, solar and geothermal. Constellation is currently under contract to sell 42 MW of capacity and energy from the 50 MW facility to Georgia Power, which purchases the energy at or below Georgia Power’s avoided cost. The project also included collaboration with the Albany-Dougherty Payroll Development Authority and ongoing support from the Georgia Public Service Commission. DCO Energy will hold a minority stake in the project and provide engineering, procurement and construction services for the project. Constellation’s affiliate, Exelon Generation, will operate and maintain the plant. Sterling Energy Assets worked with Constellation to develop the project. Tours of the facility showcased the existing 30-year old P&G boiler, which provides 30 percent of the total energy at the plant and saves on average $3 million a year compared to natural gas costs. The new plant will more than double the current total energy output and will be fueled from biomass that would otherwise have been left to decay, burned, or potentially sent to landfill. P&G worked with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to create sustainable fuel supply “procurement standards,” which complement P&G’s responsible wood fiber procurement policy for its tissue, towel and absorbent hygiene business, as well as Constellation’s commitment to energy options for customers that benefit the environment. Partner Quotes Mary Lynn Ferguson-McHugh, Group President, Global Family Care: “At P&G, we are committed to improving the environmental sustainability of our products across all aspects of their life cycle – from manufacturing, packaging, delivery and consumer use. As this project enables us to operate one of our largest global plants with a renewable energy source, it will reduce the environmental footprint of two leading brands, Bounty and Charmin. We see this as a win for our business, consumers, partners and the environment.” Gary Fromer, Senior Vice President, Distributed Energy, Constellation: “Constellation is uniquely positioned to help support Procter & Gamble’s renewable energy goals because of our leadership in both retail energy supply and distributed generation. Increasingly, our customers are looking for comprehensive energy options that enhance operational efficiencies and sustainability. Constellation can deliver innovative, clean energy solutions that drive value for our customers.” Suzanne Apple, SVP, Private Sector Engagement at World Wildlife Fund: “We applaud P&G’s efforts to support renewable energy as part of its commitment to sustainability and for prioritizing responsible sourcing of inputs as an essential element of the project. WWF and P&G have been working together for over four years on sustainable business practices, including the company’s emissions reductions and renewable energy.” Norrie McKenzie, Vice President of Renewable Development for Georgia Power: “We’re committed to working with our customers, including leading Georgia businesses such as Procter & Gamble, to create new avenues for renewable energy innovation. The Albany project is a perfect illustration of this continued effort.” Dorothy Hubbard, Albany Mayor; Chair of the Albany-Dougherty Payroll Development Authority: ”We are proud to be part of a project that will help shape the sustainable use of biomass energy, and that has such an impact for Procter & Gamble and for Albany, who have a more than 40-year relationship. This project will strengthen Albany’s Procter & Gamble facility and create jobs and business opportunities for Albany and Southwest Georgia.” About Procter & Gamble P&G serves nearly five billion people around the world with its brands.

  • 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.

    Domino partners with Procter and Gamble on Tactile-Coded Bottle Design for Visually Impaired Consumers Submitted by: Domino Printing Sciences Tuesday, 20 July 2021 Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) (https://www.domino-printing.com/en/news-and-events/news.aspx?utm_medium=non-paid&utm_source=onlinepublication&utm_content=p&gpr&utm_campaign=2021-int-en-prospects-a-a-a-a-) has teamed up with Procter and Gamble (P&G) – one of the world’s largest and most trusted suppliers of consumer and personal care products – to develop an inclusive, tactile solution for product labelling, to help visually impaired consumers distinguish between bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Kevin Higgins, Engineer at P&G, says: “We were invited to visit Domino’s specialist laser testing labs in Hamburg, initially to discuss the requirements for the project, and then again for a two-day working session to identify the best possible solution. Together, we chose the Herbal Essences bio:renew range of shampoo and conditioners as a trial product, which could be easily marked by Domino’s D-Series CO2 laser coders to create a differentiating tactile marker.” The chosen design features a row of raised lines on the bottom of the back of the shampoo bottles – “S” for shampoo, “S” for stripes – with two rows of raised dots in the same place on conditioner bottles – “C” for conditioner, “C” for circles. To ensure the new stripes and circles approach would work for consumers, P&G presented the newly-coded Herbal Essences bio:renew bottles to the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) in the UK for consumer testing.
