Procter and Gamble (P&G) was founded in Cincinnati, Ohio by William Proctor and James Gamble who started their company with a focus on soap and candles. Over the years P&G has grown to become one of the world's largest consumer goods companies with products ranging from beauty care, household cleaning supplies, personal hygiene items like Gillette razors for men or Venus shaving cream for women, laundry detergent and fabric softener.
P&G has a strong focus on research & development to ensure that their product line is always at the forefront of technology and innovation in terms of quality and performance. They have also been known for being one of the most socially responsible companies with initiatives like Pampers' "Every Baby Deserves" campaign which donates diapers to families who cannot afford them, or Gillette’s “The Best a Man Can Get” program that promotes gender equality and empowerment.
