P&G Honors External Business Partners For Delivering Sustained Value

While the contributions of P&G’s more than 50,000 external business partners (EBP) are not always readily apparent to those who use P&G brands, these valued suppliers provide essential materials, packaging, equipment, transportation and logistics, as well as IT, capital and other services which enable us to delight and serve consumers around the world every day.

This year, we celebrate the impact of our diverse network of external business partners and recognize the very best with a P&G Partner of the Year Award. This award goes to eleven Business Partners that have gone above and beyond in delivering sustained value to our business and the consumers P&G serves.

We recognize that our partners are essential to achieving the sustainability goals we share. For the first time, we recognized a distinguished group of six suppliers with the inaugural 2022 P&G Supplier Sustainability Award for their impact of our sustainability ambitions and for driving progress toward our key environmental sustainability pillars: Climate, Waste, Water, and Nature.

Along with our valued partners, we’re creating an end-to-end, agile and resilient supply network where P&G, customers, physical distribution partners and suppliers interact seamlessly and efficiently to serve consumers.

Together, the Company and our partners can be a Force For Growth and a Force For Good — and have an even larger, positive impact on our communities and the world.

“These Business Partners enabled us to serve our consumers, customers, employees, society and shareholders better than anyone else, and we thank them for that,” Marziano said.
