P&G R&D Brings Diversity, Depth, and Breadth to Science:
Here's How We Make It Happen

In today’s world, we need to reflect innovations that represent the world as it truly is. Consumers span multiple geographies, cultures, ages, and expectations. Their wants and needs span an equally large range.

More than that, solutions themselves require a diversity of thoughts and approaches. To truly capture and understand where the future is headed, we need to harness the thinking of people who represent the broad spectrum of humanity itself.

Across P&G’s 13 global research and innovation centers, you’ll find more than 7000 experts with science or engineering backgrounds. Among those, there are more than 1000 with PhDs, and even more hold both master’s and bachelor’s degrees. Here, a collective of some of the planet’s sharpest minds come together in inter-disciplinary connectivity. Our experts’ fields of study span nearly 40 disciplines, from social and computational research to toxicology to artificial intelligence and beyond, all in the name of our shared quest to positively impact the lives of people across the globe.

At P&G, we prioritize the diversity of our scientists, researchers, and supporting staff as much as the diversity of the science itself. Fifty-four percent of our global R&D experts are women, and 27% of our scientists are members of the Black, Asian American, and Latino communities. We know that achieving constructive disruption requires employing a variety of people with a diversity of lived experiences, perceptions, and backgrounds. In fact, at least 37 languages are spoken across our team, but every P&G expert also speaks the same language: consumer. (Diversity data reported for US employees only due to privacy laws)
