It has four years left in its current plan. So what have they done to put this plan into action? They've decided not only must their innovations help save the planet, but they must add benefit to the user as well.

Two products it has innovated on are Tide Coldwater and Pampers. Tide Coldwater's fame is that it would decrease energy used in the home by 3%, saving 34 million tons of CO2 released into the air as well as $63 of utilities a year for a family. As for Pampers, they've reduced the weight of both the diapers and packaging reducing the waste. Not only is collaboration working for Proctor and Gamble, they're doing it to help out our planet.
