Health, Hygiene and Cleaning Product
Manufacturing and Distribution to Continue
The Procter & Gamble Company today announced that it will
extend its previously announced “work from home where possible”
protocols for office-based employees in the U.S. and Canada until
further notice. Employees at P&G’s network of manufacturing and
distribution facilities across the U.S. and Canada will continue
operating in efforts to provide critical health, hygiene and
cleaning products to consumers and essential businesses.
“During times like this, it is critically important that we all
do our part to reduce population density and increase physical
distancing,” said David S. Taylor, Chairman of the Board, President
and Chief Executive Officer. “We support the actions being taken by
Governor DeWine in Ohio, and the many other officials across the
country, to save lives and protect community health.”
Millions of families rely on P&G brands every day to help
them maintain personal health, proper hygiene and healthy home
environments. Additionally, P&G’s Professional Division
provides cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting products to a wide
range of businesses, including restaurants, health care and
assisted living facilities.
“As we work around the clock to serve our consumers in this time
of need, we are taking important steps to protect the health and
safety of the people responsible for making and transporting these
products at a time when they are in increased demand,” Taylor
added.
At facilities which will remain operational, the Company is
implementing rigorous health and safety protocols in line with WHO
and CDC recommendations. P&G has a global network of medical
experts and practitioners who are continually refining these
protocols as more is learned about the epidemic, including thorough
access control, employee education and workplace safety measures.
The Company has distanced operating teams, eliminated large
in-person meetings and is implementing around the clock
sanitization protocols.
In the State of Ohio, where P&G’s global headquarters is
located, multiple P&G facilities have been deemed as essential
and will continue operations. These include, but are not limited to
operations in Cincinnati, Dayton and Lima.
P&G employs nearly 25,000 people in the North America and
has 24 manufacturing facilities in 18 US states. The Company also
has two plants in Canada. Together, they support a network of more
than 11,000 suppliers and small businesses.
