P&G Details Journey Toward Disability Confidence on International Day of People with Disabilities

Happi Top 50 Company P&G says it believes in the power of inclusion.

On International Day of People with Disabilities, the company is championing disability inclusion with its employees across its brands and with its partners in the communities.

P&G colleague Zeiad Kahil is an Egyptian Paralympic swimmer and a finalist at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Thanks to P&G’s adapted workplace, Kahil and employees with diverse needs can perform at their best in an environment that supports them both personally and professionally.

Adaptive Product Design

Inclusivity and accessibility, officials said, are core principles guiding its product design. The company is embedding accessibility in every stage of the design process, from initial concept to final product – in an ongoing effort to reimagine what’s possible to create products that serve and support all consumers.

Oral-B’s adaptive electric toothbrush handle is designed to improve grip, control and maneuverability, making brushing easier and more effective for a wider range of consumers.

Inclusive Communities

Extending its efforts beyond company walls, P&G has partnered with organizations such as Perkins School for the Blind, a global leader in education and accessibility for people with visual impairments. P&G brands Herbal Essences, Head & Shoulders, Olay and Gillette recently provided products and grooming services to students ahead of their prom night, so they could look and feel their best.

P&G is also recognized by Disability:IN, a leading nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion worldwide, with its Accessibility Impact Award. This recognition underscores its commitment to creating a workplace where people with disabilities can thrive.

The company’s participation in The Valuable 500, a global organization putting disability on the agenda of businesses worldwide, reinforces its dedication to fostering a more inclusive society. Through these partnerships and initiatives, the company says it’s working to build stronger, more inclusive communities where everyone can participate and contribute their unique talents.
