There’s a world of good in here
We want to make every day better for people in the communities we operate in. We focus where we can uniquely bring value and where our brands and people can make the biggest difference.
In India, we improve access to holistic education for underprivileged children through our flagship CSR program ‘P&G Shiksha’. We also focus on providing comfort to families in times of a disaster through donation of health and hygiene products, monetary contributions and donation of P&G Purifier of Water.

As a company, we have a responsibility to give back to those in need.
P&G Shiksha
In 2005, P&G launched its signature CSR program ‘P&G Shiksha’ with an aim to provide children from underprivileged backgrounds access to holistic education.
We focus our efforts in three main areas - improving education infrastructure, empowering marginalised girls through education and improving learning outcomes.
Over the years, in partnership with NGO’s we have built and supported more than 2100 schools across India that will impact more than 1.7 million children.
Delivering relief in times of need
In the aftermath of disaster, our goal is to bring the comforts of home to those who need it most.
In 2018, when the state of Kerala experienced one of the most devastating floods, we supported more than 50,000 families through various interventions.
In 2019, as a part of the relief operations in the aftermath of cyclone FANI in Odisha, we supported more than 10,000 families with health and hygiene kits comprising of our products.
Brands leading the way
P&G brands help to improve lives every day; when you clean your kitchen, wash your clothes or change your baby's nappy. Your choice to trust P&G products in your home helps them to make a difference around the world—where they can have more of an impact on lives than ever before.
Supporting surrounding communities
Our employees are making a difference in the communities they live and work. All our manufacturing sites in India are helping neighbouring schools upgrade and improve the existing education infrastructure under the P&G Shiksha umbrella. In addition to this, our manufacturing facilities and our employees support local charities through donation and volunteering. At Goa, we are supporting Matruchhaya, a home for the orphan and abandoned, helping them build health and hygiene amenities and basic educational facilities. In Mandideep, along with local NGO Arushi, we are supporting the overall development of the local Satlapur Government School. Our Bhiwadi site along with partner NGO IBTADA is promoting education for girl children and has also been supporting a girl’s school in the Gwalda village. For four consecutive years, the site has been conferred with the prestigious Bhamashah award by the state government for creating a transformational change in the lives of young children.
Pampers preemie
We partnered with NICU nurses to design the Pampers Preemie Swaddlers Size P-3 nappy (three sizes smaller than newborn nappies). It’s designed to fit the tiniest and most vulnerable premature babies, weighing as little as 0.5kg.
Supporting defence NGOs
We support the defence NGOs Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA), Navy Wives Welfare Association (NWWA) and Air Force Wives Welfare Association (AFWWA) in their effort to make a difference to the surrounding communities. In partnership with Navy Wives Welfare Association (NWWA) we support the Sankalp School in Mumbai for differently abled children.
Empowering and grooming the next generation
Statistics indicate that India faces an unemployment rate of nearly 30% and skill development has been identified as one of the critical reasons for this. Gillette is helping change this through its youth-grooming program ‘Safalta Apni Mutthi Mein.’ Grooming sessions were organised across 2,800 colleges in rural India through which over 1.5 million graduates were empowered with the right soft skills for communication and proper grooming standards.
