the good the Company is doing.
“We are, and want to be known as, a company that is governed responsibly and behaves ethically, that is open and transparent in its business dealings, that supports good causes and protects the environment, and that provides an appealing place to work where our employees are treated well and are given the opportunity to be all they can be,†said David Taylor, P&G’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer.
