Today May 3, 2023, FMCG Major P&G committed to delivering digital upskilling prospects for five lakh women from underprivileged communities over the next three years to drive equality and inclusion. Besides, P&G India will collaborate with more than 50 educational institutes, including undergraduate institutes and post-graduate universities across the country, under its initiative ShareThePride, informed its MD & CEO L V Vaidyanathan.



MD & CEO L V Vaidyanathan, at P&G India's annual #WeSeeEqual Summit, said to create safe spaces and observable allies for the LGBTQ+ community, P&G will perform towards sensitizing students, faculty members, and staff. The company will also join hands with institutes in order to develop the ecosystem to integrate positive makers of an inclusive space.



While sharing updates, over the last two years, Vaidyanathan said P&G India has already invested more than Rs 400 crore towards consciously working with women-owned and women-led businesses in India.



P&G commits to spending Rs 500 crore from 2021 to 2025. He said P&G India earned 50% representation of female directors behind the camera for the company's brand advertisements - one year ahead of the commitment timeline of the year 2024. P&G India's Whisper Menstrual Health & Hygiene Program has provided education facilities to more than two crore girls on puberty and hygiene over the previous two years, against a commitment of 2.5 crore girls by 2024.



Similarly, under the 'P&G Shiksha Betiyan Scholarship Program' established last year, it has performed with over 100 technical institutes, undergraduate colleges, and post-graduate universities to deliver financial aid and mentorship opportunities to girls aspiring to pursue higher education in Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
