Stepping Up To Help

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
