Procter & Gamble is expanding its support for athletes during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games with an unprecedented range of services and products — one standout offer is the first-ever nursery within the Olympic Village. Sponsored by P&G's Pampers® brand, this facility aims to assist athlete parents.
The nursery will offer high-quality diapers and wipes, as well as a designated space for family time, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. This initiative represents a significant move towards inclusivity. In addition to the nursery, P&G will provide a variety of services across the Olympic Village. Its brands — like antene®, Head & Shoulders®, and Gillette® — are featured in several amenities such as beauty and grooming salons, laundry rooms, and dental clinics. Complimentary period protection products are also available in all Olympic Village bathrooms.
