Background
Gillette has been a Procter & Gamble brand since P&G bought The Gillette Company in 2005; before that it was an independent US corporation. What is documented at the brand level in Israel is commercial only — a Hebrew brand site, retail distribution through Diplomat, no local factory. The Israel-related actions that boycott posts attach to Gillette belong to the parent and must be attributed there: P&G's Israeli subsidiary P&G Israel M.D.O. Ltd. and its 'Israel House of Innovation' open-innovation hub, opened in 2007 with a bilateral agreement with Israel's Office of the Chief Scientist that gives Israeli startups collaborating with P&G favourable access to government funding. P&G made no corporate statement on the war after October 7, 2023 — its CFO called the attack and the war that followed a 'human tragedy' — and this pass found no donation, in-kind aid, sponsorship or political contribution by the Gillette brand to Israeli military, government or relief causes. P&G's documented brand-level philanthropy in Israel belongs to a sister brand, Pantene (its partnership with the children's-cancer charity Zichron Menachem, including a $100,000 grant in 2018), and is not Gillette's. Neither Gillette nor P&G appears on the BDS movement's official boycott target lists.
