P&G’s ve core strengths are consumer understanding,
brand-building, innovation, go-to-market capability, and
scale. While each of these strengths is important, it’s
the combination of strengths that creates the greatest
competitive advantage.

We are building additional capability in each of our ve
core strengths. By the end of the decade, we’ll have
deeper, more insightful consumer and shopper knowledge.
We’ll be better brand-builders, more productive innovators,
and better go-to-market partners with retailers. We’ll have
even greater company, category and country scale that
we can use to create even more consumer, customer and
shareholder value.

As P&G grows stronger in each of its core strengths,
our margins of competitive advantage will grow as well.
No other company in the industry can leverage all ve
areas simultaneously at the level that P&G can.
