Company Recognizes Top Performing Suppliers
Taking Collaboration to Next Level
The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) has recognized twelve
of its top performing External Business Partners with its
prestigious Partner of the Year award. P&G has worked
extensively to become better connected with its external business
partners in recent years, especially in product and supply
innovation. At the awards ceremony, P&G leaders specifically
thanked several companies for their collaboration and business
results in this area. P&G has now expanded its business partner
integration into citizenship, where governance, sustainability, and
diversity and inclusion are just three topics targeted for better
synchronization. The passion applied to innovation and citizenship
are examples of a supply network transformation that has seen
P&G and its community of partners cooperating anew, making
step-changes in areas of production, creating breakthrough ways to
connect, and pioneering new opportunities to collaborate. P&G
is extremely pleased and proud of the spirit of partnership it is
receiving from these companies.
Additionally, P&G also awarded over 30 other companies The
External Business Partner Excellence Award, including two for
superior performance in Supplier Diversity.
Speaking at the event honoring those recognized as Partner of
the Year, David Taylor, P&G’s Chairman of the Board, President
and Chief Executive Officer, asked P&G’s external business
partners to continue to strive for the best collaborative
relationship with P&G, saying: “We’re focused on getting back
to balanced growth. Our supplier partners have a key role to play
in our ability to deliver top-line, bottom-line and cash. The more
integrated and connected P&G and our supplier partners are, the
better able we are to be more innovative and productive in meeting
consumers’ needs and, as a result, deliver balanced and sustainable
growth and value creation for our shareholders.” He made several
requests of those in attendance, including more business
transparency with each other and helping P&G become faster in
getting products to market.
