Stepping Up To Help

During these challenging times, Gillette is playing our part to protect the health and well-being of our employees, serve consumers around the world who count on our brands, and support workers, relief agencies and communities who are on the front lines of this global pandemic.

We don’t know how long this crisis will last, but we do know that the dedication and resiliency of our brave healthcare workers and first responders will last longer. And so will our commitment to continue to support and serve them, our consumer and our communities in any way we can.

Protecting Our People

Throughout this pandemic, our manufacturing facilities remain operational. To do this, we must first think of our employees. Protecting our people allows us to continue making, packing and shipping the products needed by others around the world.

With guidance from medical professionals, we are constantly evaluating and updating our policies. Temperature scans, physical distancing, and supercharging our sanitation processes are just a few of the ways we are looking out for our team.

Helping Healthcare Workers & First Responders

Healthcare workers and first responders face new strains of COVID-19 cases every day, and they are counting on personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect them. Unfortunately, there is currently a huge shortage.

We are committed to helping. At Gillette, we are optimizing our resources so that we may continue to produce and distribute the products the world so desperately needs.

Masks

Our South Boston Massachusetts World Shaving Headquarters recently donated its inventory of 75,000 N95 respiratory masks to hospitals in Massachusetts.

Razors

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encourages men to shave before wearing respiratory masks to ensure proper mask fit.

We are helping around the world by donating more than one million razors to healthcare workers and first responders.

Face Shields

Face shields are worn over N95 respirators to protect them from being soiled and damaged. As the Gillette team learned of the PPE shortage during this crisis, we collaborated and leveraged our skills to create a working face shield prototype. It was approved and we have already started production and assembly at our South Boston Massachusetts World Shaving Headquarters. We have distributed more than 100,000 face shields to Massachusetts healthcare organizations  and have committed to donating 200,000 more in the coming months.

Hand Sanitizer

At two of our Gillette shaving gel manufacturing facilities, we have started production of hand sanitizer. Our goal is to ensure that we produce products that allow customers, hospitals, and relief organizations do their jobs safely. Across the P&G family, we intend to produce at least 45,000 liters of hand sanitizer every week.

Twitch Stream Aid

We are proud to have worked with our partners at Twitch for the Twitch Stream Aid. This event attracted 50 million viewers to game, stream and perform. Twitch talent, global superstars and a $1million dollar donation from P&G (with Gillette) helped us raise $2.7million for the WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Fund.

Supporting Our Communities

P&G’s contributions of product and in-kind support now exceed $15 million. We will continue to increase our donations and contributions as we work with communities around the world. Our unchanging goal is to ensure that families in need have the cleaning, health, and hygiene benefits P&G products can provide.
