To honor fathers for all that they do for their little miracles, Pampers asked consumers to log on to their Facebook page to pledge various acts of kindness for dads. In response to the commitment of pledges of support for Pampers' Father's Day mission, Pampers threw “First Father’s Day Cook-Out” celebrations across the country for new and expecting fathers, providing them with the recognition that they deserve. The “First Father’s Day Cook-Out” celebrations focused on all of the things that delight dads: entertainment, grilling out, spending time with family and friends, and bonding time with baby! To launch the series of celebrations, Pampers partnered with celebrity fathers, including Entertainer Drew Lachey, Actor (and first-time dad) James Van Der Beek, New York Jets Running Back Shonn Greene and Film Director Alejandro Monteverde (along with his wife, Actress Ali Landry) to kick-off the inaugural “First Father’s Day Cook-Out” celebration yesterday evening at Stage 37 in New York City. Event attendees were able to enjoy a special cook-out complete with BBQ fare and activities with their little ones, including crawling courses and “Dad and Baby” handprint and photo stations. “I am incredibly excited to help Pampers kick off their series of First Father's Day Cook-Out celebrations," said Drew Lachey. “As a father of two incredible children, I know first-hand how much dads do for their kids and how important and memorable their First Father's Day is to them. I couldn't be happier to help provide new dads with a celebration that they truly deserve!" Throughout the remainder of the week leading up to Father's Day weekend, “First Father’s Day Cook-Out” celebrations will also be held in cities across the country, including Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. ----more---- Pampers First Father's Day Cook-Out Celebrations Page 2 of 2 “We are thrilled to continue our Little Miracles Missions program with this series of ‘First Father's Day Cook- Out’ celebrations," said Fama Francisco, Pampers General Manager. "Due to the pledges of support that we've received from our consumers, we're delighted that we are able to pay that kindness forward and honor dads nationwide for all that they do by ‘manning the grill’ at our ‘First Father’s Day Cook-Out’ Celebrations. With consumers help, the Pampers brand has already touched the lives of thousands of families through our Little Miracle Missions program and we're excited to continue a campaign that will touch and help even more families over the course of the year – thanks to the help of our most important partner – parents!” Since launching in April 2011, the Little Miracle Missions program has seen Pampers donate more than 30,000 care packages to over 800 NICUs in the country and throw hundreds of baby showers for expectant mothers across the country in celebration of Mother's Day.

  • Bloomsburg Investment Group
    Bloomsburg Investment Group Equity Analysis The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) Analyst: Gerrick Hardy, Class of 2021 Trevor Luzi, Mackenzie Gross, Class of 2022 Bloomsburg Investment Group Opinion: After our group's thorough analysis, we believe it is in the best interest of the group if our holding in Procter & Gamble (PG) is partially liquidated. Although our group remains bullish about the company, we think taking some profits from PG's recent run-up and allocating funds elsewhere in the sector would be most beneficial. While the company has provided strong organic growth in each of the two previous quarters, a number of headwinds remain in the way which will likely restrict future growth. A stronger U.S. Dollar has essentially offset the organic revenue growth, and the rise in transportation costs and commodity prices has and will likely continue to squeeze the margins of PG. With consumer tastes trending towards less expensive generic brands, customers may not respond favorably to recent price increases of some of Procter & Gamble’s largest brands. Our sector believes PG is currently trading at a premium that will not be satisfied with future growth. Despite all of this, we are still bullish because of the high dividend yield that the company has increased for 62 consecutive years, wide array of brand offerings, and brand loyalty and recognition, among other factors. Considering cross-current risks that exist in the macroeconomic environment and the potential of an upcoming recession or economic downturn, Procter & Gamble will continue to provide stable growth and hedge our portfolio. Corporate Summary: Corporate Details: Name Procter & Gamble Co The Procter & Gamble Company, founded in 1837, is Ticker PG a global manufacturer and distributor of household Domicile United States goods.

  • 2.2.9. Procter & Gamble
    1 Dirty recyclables of a Procter & Gamble brand Credit: Les Stone P&G has made no commitments regarding collection, and neither calls for legislation in this area nor mentions support for DRS. It high- lights different targets on its US environmental sustainability webpage6 than on its UK equivalent.7 At the time of writing, there was no reference to the development of reuse-and-refill delivery models for P&G products on their UK site;8 on its US site, however, the company highlights its 2019 participation in test programmes with TerraCycle’s Loop project in New York and Paris,9 in which its brands Pantene, Gillette and Venus were included.10 When it comes to reduction of virgin-plastic use, P&G states alternative materials will only be used ‘when it makes sense’, and that lightweighting, increasing recycled content and moving towards more concentrated products will take priority.11 However, this does not appear to involve an absolute reduction in the total number of single-use plastic-packaging units. It is also unclear what instances the company will consider using alternative materials in, and which types of materials. In another document on the company’s brand criteria for 2030, it states it will achieve ‘a meaningful increase in responsibly-sourced bio-based, or recycled or more resource efficient materi- als’;12 however, this commitment is nebulous because it does not include an actual target, timeframe or more detail on what ‘responsi- bly-sourced’ means. When it comes to minimum recycled content, P&G talks about ‘continuously innovating with recycled plastic’,13 and, according to As You Sow, has a recycled-content target of 8% for 2025.14 This is a very modest increase – from 6.3% in 2018.

  • A Case Study of Pampers Brand of Proctor and Gamble Pakistan
    International Journal of Experiential Learning & Case Studies 5 : 1 ( June 2020) pp. 122-134. dx.doi.org/10.22555/ijelcs.v5i1.3023 Local players giving a run for the share to a global giant: A case study of Pampers brand of Proctor and Gamble Pakistan Syed Waqas Hussain*, Jawaid Qureshi**, Muhammad Mubeen, Zaeema Asrar**** Abstract Pakistan is a densely populated country with a population of around 200 million people with an annual birth rate of 29.8 births/1000 people that approximates to around 13 million babies per year with a majority of births in tier three and four socio-economic classes (Geoba, 2017). Based on marvelous demand and con- sumption patterns, the market for diapers seemed ever-increasing. This instru- mental single case-based study addressed the concerns regarding the competitive- ness of Pampers with other diaper brands. It undertook eight interviews with industry experts till saturation point and availed thematic analysis techniques to categorize themes pertinent to core issues. Pampers is an expensive brand, primarily due to its higher cost of importing and local value additions. Despite being a global giant in the diaper industry and having the first-mover advan- tage in Pakistan, the company is continuously losing its value and volume share against much cheaper local players since 2013. The case addressed shortcomings of Pampers Pakistan that were needed to be addressed and strategic branding and marketing decisions that were likely to regain its market share. Their marketing strategists realized revisiting its procurement plans, pricing strategies and dis- tribution strategies, and brand management on an urgent basis to maintain its sustainable competitive advantage.
