As we concluded our 5th #WeSeeEqual Equality and Inclusion Summit 2024 yesterday, we took the opportunity to share progress on our programs designed to respect and reflecting the diversity of our consumers – starting from the workplace, and through our brands in the communities we serve. We believe that this progress is one ripple in the journey and hope that it will go on to create a meaningful impact for our consumers, employees, and other stakeholders. #PGIndia #EqualityAndInclusion #Citizenship

The well-being of our people is at the heart of the superior employee experience that we consistently strive to drive at P&G. It is strongly supported by a culture that prioritizes the physical, mental, financial, and work-life wellbeing of our people, through benefits, resources, and learning opportunities, empowering them to be at their best every day. Recently, we got together to wrap #2024 with a three-day Wellbeing Fest at our Mumbai office – specially curated for our people. It offered specialist consultations with medical professionals and life coaches, on-the-go health checks and other fun activations which made it an enjoyable experience! Here are happy glimpses of the day! #PGIndia

P&G Shiksha - our flagship CSR initiative that began in 2005, even before CSR laws came into effect, reflects our commitment to impact underserved communities across the country through meaningful actions that improve lives every day. Over the years, with a single minded focus on education, #PGShiksha has continued to impact lakhs of children with targeted interventions together with its implementing partners. This article by The Logical Indian is a glimpse into P&G Shiksha and the initiatives it continues to drive on ground. #PGIndia #CommunityImpact

P&G brands and P&G people are committed to helping communities around the world through meaningful actions that improve lives every day. Our flagship CSR program - #PGShiksha reflects this commitment. This year, #PGShiksha turns 20, celebrating two decades of driving continued positive impact in communities through a single-minded focus on a national priority - education. From building school infrastructure in the early years, to now broadening the scope and focusing on learning outcomes by improving foundational literacy and numeracy, P&G Shiksha is impacting over 50 lakh children from underserved communities. What better than the #InternationalVolunteerDay to kickstart the celebrations of #20YearsofPGShiksha, by bringing together two of our strongest pillars – our people and the communities we serve, live, and operate in. With nearly 500 volunteers registering, P&G employees, families, agency partners, distributor partners and NGO volunteers came together at 10 locations across the country in one of our largest volunteering drives of its kind. The volunteers engaged students through specially curated teaching modules, and invested in the learning and all round development of the students. Recently, we brought learning to life—fostering creativity, building confidence, and igniting hope for a brighter future. Here’s a glimpse into the celebrations across sites and locations in India. #PGIndia #InternationalVolunteerDay #20yearsofPGShiksha #PGShiksha #CommunityImpact

During my recent visit to the Philippines, Saudi Arabia and India, I had the privilege of listening and learning from our engagement with consumers, customers and employees. Joined by Bala Purushothaman, our CHRO, and Andre Schulten, our CFO, we had meaningful discussions that touched on topics related to consumer insights and our focus on superiority to create a unique consumer experience that drives category growth and value creation. These visits reaffirmed one of my core beliefs—growth stems from listening and learning, both from the people we serve and each other. I am incredibly proud of our teams and excited about the future we are building together. #Leadership #TeamAppreciation 

We are thrilled to have Shailesh Jejurikar (P&G Chief Operating Officer), Andre Schulten (P&G Chief Financial Officer) and Bala Purushothaman (P&G Chief Human Resources Officer) back in Saudi Arabia, India and Philippines! It was a fantastic opportunity to dive deep into consumer and market insights through consumer immersions in their homes, extensive store checks and meaningful conversations with our teams. Our commitment to putting consumers first remains our priority as we strive for excellence across all five vectors of superiority, ensuring we create unique experiences that drive innovation, category growth, and value creation. In Saudi, we are continually inspired by our incredible Procter & Gamble Saudi organization, whose dedication and talent are building a strong foundation for sustained growth and success. In India, the strides our Procter & Gamble India team is making in automation and digital capabilities are setting new benchmarks for our company. This progress not only enhances our operational efficiency but significantly elevates the consumer experience, allowing us to meet and exceed their expectations. Over in Philippines, we witness Procter & Gamble Philippines’ legacy of innovation and commitment to delivering superior value to our consumers. I am proud of our dynamic teams for driving impactful change and ensuring that our consumers are at the heart of everything we do! Procter & Gamble Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa

Thank you, TheCSRUniverse, for the 2024 Social Impact Awards. This recognizes #PGShiksha’s impact in the Education category, through its holistic educational interventions which help underserved children with targeted programs designed to improve learning outcomes.   We strongly believe that when we collaborate with partners, we enhance our ability to reach and serve more consumers, and enrich the communities we serve, live, and operate in.   P&G Shiksha, our flagship CSR initiative, began as a commitment to strengthen educational infrastructure across the country in 2005. It has today evolved into a 360-degree holistic educational intervention with a focus on learning outcomes especially with foundational numeracy and literacy.    A heartfelt thank you to all our implementing NGO partners, who are empowering lakhs of children on the ground through our targeted educational interventions, impacting over 45 lakh children over 19 years.   #PGIndia #PGShiksha #CSR #Citizenship #SocialImpactConferenceAwards

As per reports, over 6 crore primary school students in the country are challenged by #LearningGaps, whereby their learning levels fall behind their grade’s expected learning level. This learning challenge disproportionately impacts children in underserved and resource deficit communities, like the tribal regions of the country.   This #InternationalLiteracyDay, we are celebrating children from such communities, who are working tirelessly to overcome hurdles and improve their learning outcomes, with a little help from us. We are enabling them through an AI enabled learning tool - #Mindspark, developed and implemented by our partners Educational Initiatives as part of the #PGShiksha initiative. This film by Educational Initiatives beautifully brings to you the evolution and impact of this initiative on students, teachers, and community leaders alike. From helping children overcome learning challenges to making learning fun and enjoyable through a gamified tech-led approach, the program is creating real, scalable impact on ground for thousands of children across the country. #PGIndia #PGShiksha #Citizenship #InternationalLiteracyDay
