Open Innovation in Action

P&G’s Fabric Care category includes many of P&G’s most iconic brands such as Tide, Ariel, Downy/Lenor and Gain. We recently announced our ambition to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across our supply chain and operations by 2040, from raw material to retailer, including clear interim targets for 2030. While we are making progress, the climate emergency calls for bolder and faster actions to decarbonize laundry across the entire value chain. We have strong partnerships in place, but we acknowledge we don’t have all the answers and we won’t let uncertainty hold us back. Join us in our mission to decarbonize laundry.
