The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) recently recognized the company's top performing suppliers.

 

"From market changing innovation to supply chain excellence, our supplier partners are foundational for building a stronger future," says Rick Hughes, vice president of Global Purchases for P&G. "P&G is at our best when we have fostered relationships with our external business partners that enable collaboration in achieving our mutual goals, addressing challenges and delivering ongoing innovation."

 

Receiving highest honors as "Supplier of the Year" for 2009 recipients among P&G's 80,000 suppliers were:
