The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

P&G discloses enterprise sustainability ambitions and ties a portion of executive incentive compensation to an ESG Scorecard covering Scope 1/2/3 emissions, packaging circularity, water restoration, and responsible sourcing. However, the reviewed filings do not disclose granular Scope 1/2/3 emissions figures or year-over-year trend data, and a shareholder proposal highlights lagging progress on virgin-plastic reduction and flexible-packaging goals. This is descriptive research output, not investment advice.

Criticisms on file

Shareholder proposal (As You Sow) alleges P&G lags on its 2030 packaging goals, citing a 3% increase in total corporate virgin plastic use (2020-2021) and that approximately 19% of P&G packaging remains flexible (largely non-recyclable) plastic.
