INNOVATION
Innovative new products earned Procter & Gamble five of the top 10
spots in the IRI New Product Pacesetters ranking of the most
successful non-food product launches of 2014. P&G innovations
making the list were Gain Flings! (#2), DayQuil/NyQuil SEVERE (#5),
Old Spice Wild Collection (#7), Duracell Quantum (#8), and
Cascade Platinum (#9). This achievement underscores P&G’s focus
on driving business growth through a strong portfolio of innovative
products designed to delight consumers. Since the first IRI New
Product Pacesetters Report in 1995, P&G has had 161 products make
the top 25 Pacesetters list in non-food categories
— more than
our six largest competitors combined.
For the first time, Gartner, a leading research and advisory firm,
named P&G a “Supply Chain Master” as part of its 2015 Supply
Chain Top 25 list. This distinction recognizes companies that have
consistently ranked highly on the Top 25 list over the past 10 years.
The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 recognizes sustained leadership
and continued excellence in consumer-driven supply chain
technologies.
At the 62nd Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, the premier
worldwide event for recognizing the best creative work in the
advertising, media and communications industry, P&G brands and
our agencies were awarded 36 Lions across 10 brands, including
Always/Whisper, Old Spice, Tide, Pampers, Oral-B, and Crest
— more
than any other advertiser. Always/Whisper led the way with 21 Lions,
a record for P&G brands and the best performance of any brand at
the 2015 Festival. The Always #LikeAGirl campaign won 14 Lions,
including a Titanium Lion
— the Festival’s highest honor, recognizing
breakthrough ideas that change the world of creativity and inform
new ways of thinking. In addition to the recognition at the Cannes
Lions Festival of Creativity, the Always #LikeAGirl campaign and its
agencies have won several awards, including a 2015 Emmy nomination,
a Grand CLIO Award and PRWeek’s Global Campaign of the Year.
DIVERSITY
P&G received the 2015 Catalyst Award, recognizing the Company
for success in creating a workplace where women and men have
equal opportunity to advance and lead. P&G is one of only four
companies
— and the only company in the CPG industry — to win
this award more than once.
P&G’s commitment to creating a diverse workplace has been
recognized by DiversityInc, including a #10 ranking on its Top 50
Companies for Diversity and a #7 ranking on its Top Ten Companies
for Global Diversity.
Working Mother named P&G among its 100 Best Companies for
working mothers for the seventh consecutive year. We were also
ranked among Working Mother’s Top 5 Best Companies for
Multicultural Women.

among their Top 50 Companies for Executive Women for the 15th
year, ranking P&G in the top 10 for-profit companies for the 5th
consecutive year.
The Human Rights Campaign has recognized P&G among a select
group of companies, scoring a perfect 100 on the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s 2015 Corporate Equality Index.
SUPPLIER DIVERSITY
Supplier diversity is a fundamental business strategy that strengthens
our innovation and go-to-market capabilities and touches and
improves the lives of our diverse suppliers, their employees and the
communities in which they live and work.
For the eighth year in a row, P&G spent more than $2 billion with
minority- and women-owned businesses. Since 2005, P&G has been
a member of the Billion Dollar Roundtable, a forum of 20 corporations
that spend more than $1 billion annually with diverse suppliers.
We are expanding the scope of supplier diversity to create even
more value in our business and communities, launching our Global
Supplier Diversity Program to develop diverse suppliers outside the
U.S., and renewing our commitment to LGBT- and U.S. Military
Veteran-Owned suppliers.
SUSTAINABILITY
P&G’s commitment to sustainability is clear, and our focus on
sustainability is making P&G stronger, delivering value for consumers,
customers and shareowners. P&G’s innovative work in this area has
earned numerous awards across our business, including Corporate
Responsibility Magazine’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens, the MSCI
Sustainability Index, and recognition on FTSE4Good
— on which P&G
has been named since the index’s inception.
