Everyone at P&G is united by the commonality of the Company's values and goals. We see diversity as the uniqueness each of us brings to fulfilling these values and achieving these goals. Our diversity covers a broad range of personal attributes and characteristics such as race, sex, age, cultural heritage, personal background and sexual orientation. By building on our common values and goals, we are able to create an advantage from our differences.

At P&G we believe it is important to develop and support a diverse workplace. We're making good progress, but we always want to do better. For example, the number of women and U.S. minorities at the vice president/general manager level has doubled over the past five years.

Our intent is to develop all employees to their full potential. To achieve this goal, we have human resource systems in place that support individual development, and we regularly review these systems to make sure they work well for everyone, including women and the various population groups that make up our minority workforce.
