Does P&G do environmental audits of its suppliers?
P&G’s success depends on building productive relationships with our customers and suppliers based on integrity, ethical behavior, and mutual trust. We expect suppliers to operate safely for their employees and the environment. Suppliers are expected to comply with the law and P&G would not continue dealing with a supplier that operated persistently out of compliance. Suppliers are required to produce according to agreed specifications with robust quality assurance systems (which are audited), to design resource-efficient processes, and to be aware of their stakeholders’ concerns. These expectations are discussed in supplier meetings and on some occasions, P&G has conducted site visits for reassurance that suppliers are meeting expectations.
