Building on over a decade of focus on operational water efficiency, P&G is now working towards a
holistic water stewardship strategy throughout its value chain. An evaluation of water risks across the life cycle of its products helped P&G select 18 priority river basins across seven countries, including the United States, Mexico, China, India, Turkey, Spain, and Saudi Arabia.

Relying on expertise and guidance from its NGO partners and other basin stakeholders, P&G is developing 2020 2030 roadmap for each priority river basin. For example, P&G has already started engaging the top 25 percent of its suppliers by total spend, requesting information on their water use, risks, and management. This helps identify key suppliers with whom to partner on collaborative water management and stewardship projects. P&G is also engaging its consumers through product innovation.

Project Results

  • In under a year, P&G implemented steps 1 3 of the AWS Standard 1 0 at half their facilities exposed to high water risk.
  • As P&G facilities completed their AWS action plans, they adopted a more holistic approach to water management and understood its importance beyond the facility fence line.
  • P&G has exceeded its 2020 goal of 20 water reduction per unit of production versus the 2010 baseline year.
