## Climate Policy Advocacy

All policy advocacy is coordinated through our Global Government Relations organization this ensures consistency and transparency in all policy related activities across business divisions and geographies. Internally, government relations does this by being an active member of our cross functional P&G Corporate Climate Council which plays a key role in our Climate Governance Process; knowing the details of our climate policies and positions, and consistently representing them with all external stakeholders they interact with, including policy makers and trade associations.

Consistent with our ambition to achieve net zero GHG emissions, we seek to align our policy positions with a 1.5\* Scenario. This does not mean we will support all climate related proposals that are advanced globally, but rather we assess each on a case by case basis to ensure the underlying policy mechanisms and proposals are relevant, robust, viable, holistic, and would contribute meaningful progress to reducing GHG emissions, For example, we support the advocacy efforts of the Climate Leadership Council which advocates for a comprehensive national policy on carbon emissions in the United States.

The trade associations of which we are members are aware of our policy positions. In all cases, any P&G position on a matter of public policy is the prevailing company position, irrespective of any trade association position. We are consistent in the positions we share with external stakeholders as well as in our trade association engagement – consistent with the core values of integrity and trust which are an integral part of our Company's Purpose, Values and Principles (PVPs). If an association's policy position is different than ours, we will engage the association in dialogue to discuss relevant discrepancies and encourage changes which would better align with our views.
