Our Story
This Report provides an insight into P&Gs commitment to social development in Pakistan.
P&Gs Purpose is to improve the everyday lives of the worlds consumers. We fulfill thisPurpose in many ways: through P&G brands, first and foremost, but also through oursupport of humanitarian, educational and social cause efforts.
P&G Pakistan has initiated and runs several programs focused on improving the livesof Pakistanis, especially children, teens and young mothers. Our areas of concerninclude health and hygiene awareness, education and female empowerment. All inall, our social community programs have helped improve the lives of about 5 millionPakistanis in 2008 - 2009.
Two Sides To Every Story
Our social investments are focused on improving the
lives of children in need through LIVE, LEARN and
THRIVE, our far-reaching global cause.
LearnLive Thrive
At P&G, we believe that there are two sides to every story: P&G contributes tosustainable development through both - what we do and how we do it.
What we do is provide branded products and services of superior quality and valuethat improve the lives of the worlds consumers via health, hygiene or convenience.
How we do it includes addressing any environmental and socioeconomic issuesassociated with our products and services.
As a result, two sides emerge for the same picture: we hope that consumers whobelieve in P&Gs commitments will reward us with leadership sales, profit and valuecreation, allowing our employees, our shareholders and the communities in whichwe live and work to prosper.

P&G strives to improve the everyday lives of the worlds consumers in many ways, through P&G brands, andthrough the support of social causes. While we have made a difference in the causes we support, we believethat we can make an even greater, more enduring impact by focusing on a consistent cause where theneed is great and there is a clear fit with P&G strengths, brands and current programs.
With that in mind, P&G has committed to focus on the development of children in need through our globalcause, P&G Live, Learn and Thrive which enables us to meet the needs of children in our diverse communitiesaround the world. Through our activities, we contribute to the economic and social well-being of a rangeof communities in which we operate and more widely, to regional, national and international development.
Besides corporate financial support, employee passion is apparent from the fact that P&G Pakistan employeesremain active participants in our corporate efforts, through volunteering their time in many ways. P&Gvolunteers undertake interactive visits to Pakistans oldest school for the hearing and vision impaired - IdaRieu, take students at P&G HOPE schools to guided tours of educational places and have personally paintedthe P&G-READ schools in the earthquake affected region of Muzaffarabad.
P&G is also committed to tackling one of the biggest potential problems faced by human beings even inthis modern age - the lack of access to clean drinking water that threatens the lives of billions of people
for distribution throughout the world.
P&G has been in Pakistan since 1991 and since then, P&G has grown to be one of the leading consumergoods companies in the country, currently serving Pakistani consumers with premium quality brands. Globally,we have a 172 year old history and presence in over 80 countries worldwide. Yet, we share a commonvision around the globe: P&G is committed to giving back to communities where we operate. In this area,as in every facet of our operations, we aim to meet and exceed expectations.

2012Goal
By 2012 P&G will develop and market at least$50 billion in cumulative sales of SustainableInnovation Products, which are products witha significantly reduced environmental footprintversus previous or alternative products.
2012Goal
From 2007 to 2012 P&G plants will deliver anadditional 20% reduction (per unit production) inCO2 emissions, energy and water consumptionand disposed waste from P&G plants, leading to atotal reduction over the decade of at least 50%.
Manufacturing Material Flows 2007-2008
Mechanical systems have been constantly developing and changing to better satisfy building occupants.However, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration reveals that as mechanical systemsimprove indoor conditions, they are simultaneously contributing to the demise of our outdoor climate.Buildings are responsible for almost half (48%) of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually, andover 60% of those emissions are related to mechanical systems. 76% percent of all U.S. electricity
goes to supply the building sector.
In the upcoming P&G Plant at Port Qasim Authority, sustainability will be incorporated by providinga productive, pleasing work environment and illustrating how buildings can be designed to reducegreenhouse gas emissions. Responsible, innovative solutions for conditioning and ventilating indoor
spaces will take on the challenge of promoting healthy indoor and outdoor environments.

Assessing impactComprehensive tools
Managing innovation sustainably begins with the use of
comprehensive analysis tools. One such tool, Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA), generates a complete environmental
footprint, extending beyond carbon impact to measure
total energy and water use and waste production. Also
included are the impacts of consumer use of our products,
as well as all emissions into the air, water and land. This
detailed review lets us pinpoint areas where our innovation
efforts can be most effective.
Finding opportunity:Laundry energy usage
Our life cycle assessment of laundry detergent revealed
that one step consumed far more energy than any other:
the heating of wash water during its use in the home. As
such, this step clearly offered the biggest opportunity for
energy reduction.
Field tests predicted that a family of four in the UK could
reduce its overall household electricity consumption by
3% by reducing its wash temperature from 43.5C to 30C.
So our Ariel Cool Clean technology - which offers strong
cleaning performance at lower temperatures - presented
a promising opportunity for energy savings.
Sustainability in Ariel In 2008 alone, P&G has reduced water consumption by 7%, energyusage by 6%, and CO2 emissions by 8%.
The P&G Hub Plant has built and runs a waste treatment facility designed to protect the environment.This state-of-the-art facility disintegrates solids, disease-causing organisms and other pollutants found in
effluence before it is discharged into the drainage network.

More than 4,000 children die everyday from diseases caused by drinking unsafe water.
The Childrens Safe Drinking Water program is P&Gs corporate signature program forLive, Learn and Thrive. The program consists of not-for-profit social and emergency reliefwork to provide safe drinking water to the people who need it most. The goal is toreduce sickness and death in children that results from drinking contaminated water.
P&Gs lifesaving technology uses small packets or sachets to disinfect water. Each sachetworks like a mini-water treatment plant removing dirt, cysts and pollutants while killingbacteria and viruses in contaminated water in less than 30 minutes, ten liters at a time.
The key to the program is building strong partnerships around the world. Our partnersuse social marketing techniques to build and sustain the introduction of the PURtechnology. In Pakistan, Greenstar Social Marketing leads the Childrens Safe DrinkingWater program, and has deployed over 9 million sachets of PUR over the past year. Theprogram initially started with two countries in 2004, Haiti and Uganda. Since then, it hasbeen launched in 8 additional countries: Kenya, Malawi, Dominican Republic, Pakistan,Ethiopia, Congo, Botswana and Indonesia.
P&Gs global commitment to this program has seen the establishment of a PUR plant inHub, Pakistan; the first of its kind in the world. It provides people access to safe drinkingwater and is able to export millions of liters across the globe.
Thus far, this P&G technology has provided more than a billion liters of clean drinking water.

The Pampers World of Babies carnival,held in November 2007, was a unique andfun-filled approach to create awarenessabout baby care amongst parents. Parentsvisited a larger than life world, which gavethem the opportunity to see the world asa baby sees it. This was done so that theparents could revisit what it is like being ababy and experience the challenges facedby infants as they learnt to walk holdingthe hands of their mothers for the firsttime. Parents were also offered freecheckups for their children.This helped tobuild a better understanding of a childsneeds for parents and facilitated thepotential for babies to grow and developin a healthy manner.
This program touched over 20,000 parentsand children across Karachi, Lahore andIslamabad.
The Pampers - Sahara For Life campaign was initiatedin 2007 by Pampers in partnership with Abrar-ul-Haq and Sahara for Life Trust, with a vision toimprove child health in Pakistan.
For every pack of Pampers bought in Ramadhan,life-saving medicines were donated to Sahara forLife for administration to children in need at theSahara for Life Hospital at Narowal in Punjab.
This campaign resulted in the donation of over
1 million doses of life saving medicines.

For you they may besitting idle...
The picture of literacy in Pakistan is grim. The overallliteracy rate is 49%, while only 36.8% of girls are literate1.
Literacy and primary school enrolment rates in Pakistanhave shown improvement during the last five years butthey are still low compared with other countries inthe region.
A number of studies of the education system in Pakistanhave revealed that the quality of education being providedby primary schools in the country is poor, with manyschools lacking adequate teachers and resources2.
Poverty is also a big hurdle in education. According toUNICEF, 17.6% of Pakistani children are working andsupporting their families. Indeed, children working asdomestic help is a common phenomenon in Pakistan, andthis sector employs more girls than boys3.
