"Our suppliers are critical partners in helping us bring innovation to life, manage our costs and improve productivity," explained P&G's Global Product Supply Officer Keith Harrison. "With the current global economic uncertainty, strong relationships with suppliers are more important than ever to achieving P&G's sustainability goals and supporting the company's growth today and going forward."

"We work towards that goal every day but we also had a desire to bring together our top suppliers to illustrate our commitment and emphasize P&G's collaboration going forward."
