P&G is the first company to win for two programs in the same year. The company was nominated by two embassies, Nigeria and Pakistan, for good corporate citizenship, responsible environmental protection and practices, contributions to the overall growth and development of the local economies and innovation

P&G’s contributions to improving the lives of consumers in Nigeria and Pakistan were recognized today by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who presented P&G with the Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE).

“When companies act responsibly, they can make vital contributions that matter to everyone. From spurring economic growth and promoting good governance in the rule of law, to providing humanitarian relief after natural disasters,” said Secretary Clinton at the U.S. State Department ceremony. “P&G stepped up when it mattered most, just as they have stepped up every single day in every single place. They have saved lives.”

“P&G’s Purpose as a Company is to touch and improve lives, now and for generations to come,” said P&G Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Bob McDonald. “Our Purpose guides and inspires everything we do. For 175 years, our Purpose has focused us on finding ways to make people’s everyday lives a little better. We improve lives with our brands, with our business growth, with our employee programs and with our social responsibility efforts. When we improve lives, we grow our business and by growing our business we are able to improve even more lives. It is a virtuous cycle and entirely congruent with our growth strategy to improve more lives, in more parts of the world…more completely. Receiving the ACE Award is a great recognition of the efforts we are making in Nigeria and Pakistan and around the world, and it motivates us to continue our work to improve lives ways every day.”
