MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT

For over 180 years, the brands of Procter and Gambler have led innovation in order to improve the everyday lives of people around the world. That purpose has not changed - following an extraordinary 2020, the group is stepping up its efforts to do more for communities and for the planet.

Procter & Gamble, an organisation that is now over 180 years old, is the largest branding company on the planet. This century-long tradition, combined with its start-up mentality, is a sound foundation for the company’s continuous improvement and its drive to change in line with evolving market requirements and customer preferences - an aspect that has helped the business navigate through the difficult year of 2020 and the first half of 2021 with an impressive performance.

Commenting on the group’s fiscal year 2021 third-quarter results, P&G’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer David Taylor said: “We delivered another quarter of solid top-line, bottom-line and cash results in what continues to be a challenging operating environment.”

“We remain focused on executing our strategies of superiority, productivity, constructive disruption and improving P&G’s organization and culture. These strategies enabled us to build strong business momentum before the Covid crisis and to accelerate our progress during the crisis, and they remain the right strategies to deliver balanced growth and value creation over the long term.”

P&G serves consumers around the world with one of the strongest portfolios of trusted, quality, leadership brands, including Always®, Ambi Pur®, Ariel, Bounty, Fairy, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Lenor, Olay, Oral-B, Pampers, Pantene and many more. Within its 10 categories, the company is creating sciencebased products delivered with high-quality packaging, consumer communication, retail execution and value in all price tiers where P&G competes.

Innovated portfolio

P&G products play an essential role in helping consumers maintain proper hygiene, personal health and healthy home environments - factors that have come into the limelight during the pandemic. Responding to the new market needs, the company has launched two sprays within the P&G Professional Flash portfolio that have been certified as being effective against SARS-CoV-2. They will provide business owners across the care, hospitality and foodservice sectors with peace of mind, used in conjunction with other safety measures such as physical distancing and face coverings.

However, the pandemic has not affected P&G’s focus on environmental sustainability, one of its top long-term priorities. These efforts towards a more sustainable world are reflected in the group’s portfolio innovations. To name just a few - recently Pampers created Pampers Pure Protection Hybrid Diapers, its first diapering system that is part reusable, part disposable. The Pure Protection Hybrid

Pompe Cucchi

Pompe Cucchi designs and manufactures gear and metering pumps from 60 years - it is the distributor in Italy of the industrial pumps ITT Jabsco, GRACO pneu¬matic diaphragm pumps, and drum pumps Grun-Pumpen.

Engineering, experience, research, passion and dedication is our mission.

This is the formula with which Pompe Cucchi works every day to offer you the best products and service.

Considering that is improved the requests for micro-metering applications, recently we have increased our range adding the model NAX 0.5, built in AISI316L or Titanium or Hastelloy C - FDA compliant - ATEX - API676 - TRCU010 TRCU012 - metering flow rates starting from 0,2 l/h.

Diapers use trusted Pampers technology. They are hypoallergenic and contain 0% fragrance, elemental chlorine, latex (natural rubber), or parabens.

In Europe, P&G Beauty is offering a new aluminium reusable, refillable bottle system for Pantene, Aussie, Head & Shoulders and Herbal Essences, along with fully recyclable refill pouches made with 60% less plastic than standard shampoo bottles. The new refill system will be available to as many as 200 million households across Europe and is predicted to halt the production of approximately 300 million virgin plastic bottles per year starting in 2021.

And, last but not least, in April 2021, Procter & Gamble’s Ariel laundry detergent brand announced an expanded 2030 Brand Ambition focused on ‘reinventing clean to decarbonise laundry across its entire value chain’.

To do this, Ariel has focused on ensuring it can deliver a superior wash in colder water, whilst also committing the brand’s voice to

encourage small habit changes such as lowering wash temperatures. The brand is also working towards establishing a sustainable supply chain with industry and suppliers, as well as working with partners to focus on innovation.

Responsible consumption

“Serving five billion people gives our brands a unique opportunity to promote conversations, influence attitudes and change behaviour,” comments Virginie Helias, Chief Sustainability Officer at Procter & Gamble. “Ariel cleans impeccably in cold water and enables us to switch down the wash temperature when doing the laundry. With this we can all unite on the journey to decarbonise laundry across the entire value chain, helping the climate without compromising on cleaning performance.”

As a company, P&G is committed to ensuring 100% of its packaging will be recyclable or reusable by 2030 and to reducing virgin petroleum plastic in packaging by 50% by 2030, as it strives to take action to unleash the circular economy across its portfolio of brands.

The next decade represents a critical window to significantly decrease the carbon emitted into the atmosphere and ensure a healthy planet for present and future generations. P&G is committed to being carbon neutral for the decade and will accelerate efforts to curb climate change by taking actions designed to protect the planet. n
