Ohio based Procter and Gamble's mainstay are uber mass market consumable product icons, which are made in "traditonal" ways using "traditional" chemical based ingredients for both product and packaging.
Just how good or bad these products are for the environment generally and for indoor pollution within your home is debatable. Most of the products Procter and Gamble now makes have high quality competitors (like products from Seventh Generation and Method Products) that can match product performance and are designed to be easier on the earth and less likely to bring potentially dangerous chemicals into your home.
That said, Procter and Gamble also has shown leadership on the empowerment of women and other issues.
For those looking to stick with traditional consumer pantry products but to avoid products from Koch Industries owned Georgia Pacific (like Brawny paper towels), products from Procter and Gamble can provide a good alternative.
