Supplier Diversity
P&G is committed to supplier diversity as part of our Best Total Value procurement strategy. This commitment is supported by an inclusive supply chain that taps into the broadest pool of suppliers, enabling us to serve a diverse group of consumers better and economically empower the communities where P&G and our business partners operate.
P&G’s Supplier Diversity efforts began in 1976 and have continually evolved over several decades. Our inclusive supply ecosystem is competitive, innovative, resilient, and agile and enables us to grow markets and create value as we serve all consumers and comply with applicable laws.
At P&G, we partner to grow mutual value, creating a lasting impact on our business and communities. We make sourcing decisions on the basis of best total value offered to supply our requirements for goods and services. Best total value is driven by business needs and includes total cost of ownership, quality of goods or services performed, supplier responsiveness and account service, speed or time to market, social and environmental impact, and supplier willingness to share risk and/or provide resources.
