News Release Template Procter & Gamble DCE Temselaan 100 News Release B-1853 Strombeek-Bever Belgium FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE P&G AWARDED EUROPEAN LABEL FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT Green frontrunners awarded for taking steps in reporting and reducing emissions BRUSSELS, December 9, 2014 – Green Freight Europe (GFE) has awarded P&G with its ‘first leaf’ - an award given to companies that have shared CO2 data and information on policies, strategy and intentions to reduce CO2 emissions stemming from transport operations. The first leaf is part of a four-tier labelling program by GFE that recognizes and benchmarks members based on their efforts and measures to further improve on CO2 reduction. P&G has been a member of GFE, the leading industry driven program to support companies in improving the environmental performances of freight transport in Europe, since June 2012. Procter & Gamble P&G continually strives to improve the environmental quality of its products, packaging, and operations around the world. The company is taking steps to reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions and to drive more energy-efficient modes of transporting finished products to its customers. Since the establishment of its sustainability goals in 2010, P&G has reduced its truck transportation kilometers by a combination of converting loads to intermodal (taking kilometers off the road to save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions), focusing on increasing vehicle fill efficiency, (allowing the company to increase the number of units shipped per kilometer) and collaborating with other non-compete companies to reduce empty miles. By 2020, P&G’s objective is to reduce truck transportation kilometers by 20% per unit of production. To achieve its truck transportation goal, the company will continue to optimize transportation modes and routes as well as increasing overall operation excellence. P&G encourages its carriers to become an active member of GFE, so to report and reduce its transportation footprint through common measures and actions. Through GFE, shippers and carriers have access to many best practices to reduce the transportation footprint. GFE In 2015 GFE will further improve on CO2 data exchange. Additionally, all members have access to the GFE Sharing Platform offering expert knowledge, best practices and other information supporting the industry to further improve on their environmental performance and to intensify collaboration. GFE will continue to raise the bar for its members but strives to recognize more members with additional leaves next year. About Procter & Gamble P&G serves nearly five billion people around the world with its brands. The Company has one of the strongest portfolios of trusted, quality, leadership brands, including Always®, Ambi Pur®, Ariel®, Bounty®, Charmin®, Crest®, Dawn®, Downy®, Duracell®, Fairy®, Febreze®, Gain®, Gillette®, Head & Shoulders®, Lenor®, Olay®, Oral-B®, Pampers®, Pantene®, SK-II®, Tide®, Vicks®, Wella® and Whisper®.

  • The Best a Brand Can Be? P&G's Femvertising Meeting Hegemonic
    Course: SKOM12 Term: Spring 2020 Supervisor: Scott Burnett Examiner: Cecilia Cassinger The best a brand can be? P&G’s femvertising meeting hegemonic masculinity PATRICIA AGUDELO Lund University Department of strategic communication Master’s thesis 1 Abstract The best a brand can be? P&G’s femvertising meeting hegemonic masculinity This thesis uses Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis and Multimodal Discourse Analysis to study how a house of brands, like Procter & Gamble (P&G), handles femvertising, that it is produced by its own brands. The paper analyses the phenomenon using examples from commercials that belong to P&G’s #WeSeeEqual campaign and the controversial commercial video from Gillette The best men can be. One research questions served as a guideline for this project: What characterizes the femvertising pieces targeting women and/or men, produced by the house of brands P&G for their brands Gillette, Fairy, Ariel and Always? In order to be able to study this phenomenon, the empirical materials that will be analysed are: 1) #ShareTheLoad by Ariel, 2) #MakeItFair by Fairy, 3) #LikeAGirl by Always, and 4) The best men can be by Gillette. As theoretical framework this paper uses Foucault’s theory of power and the theory of hegemonic masculinity by Connell & Messerschmidt. What was identified after analysing the data was that the different commercials always include hegemonic masculinity somehow in their content, in some it is attacked directly, in others in a subtle and implicit way and in others just excused or justified. Keyword: Femvertising, Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis, Hegemonic masculinity, Multimodal Discourse Analysis, P&G, Power, Foucault.

  • 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.
