P&G Chemicals was honored by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) with a Responsible Care Energy Efficiency Award for significant improvement in manufacturing. The recognition is part of the Company’s ongoing commitment to energy-efficient programs, including the introduction of a Waste Boiler System at the P&G Chemicals Ohio Plant.
The Responsible Care Energy Efficiency Awards program is an initiative by ACC to improve energy efficiency. In 2011, the total annual energy savings achieved by the projects recognized with awards, including P&G Chemicals, was 16.9 trillion BTUs – enough to power all the homes in a city the size of Norfolk, Virginia for one year.
A trusted leader in the global production of oleochemicals, P&G Chemicals continues to offer sustainable, reliable, quality products through the use of natural and sustainable sourcing, limited environmental footprint of manufacturing facilities and an optimized and streamlined transportation and logistics network.

Even though price levels for natural surfactant feedstocks have moderated, they remain at historically high levels, which has damaged demand in some markets. The estimated $25bn market for surfactants is important to many industries. But consumer products in fabric care and personal care are the most important, accounting for about 65% of total global use.
P&G Chemicals participated in the Geneva Earth Week symposium, April 19 and 20, 2012, to highlight the ongoing commitment to natural resources and sustainable supply.
