P&G, Global Partners Re-Inventing Business Partnerships

Company Recognizes Top Performing Suppliers Taking Collaboration to
Next Level

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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.
