Interacting with
Suppliers and Agencies

Just as P&G competes fairly, we are committed to allowing suppliers and agencies to compete equitably for our business based on the total value offered by that supplier.

If you are involved in supplier or agency selection, you must make decisions based solely on the merits of the supplier’s or agency’s offering. You must follow P&G’s purchasing processes and systems. In addition, you must never:

• Make purchasing decisions on the basis of reciprocal deals or gifts or entertainment.
  
  

• Solicit any (potential) supplier or agency on behalf of charitable, civic or other organizations without prior authorization from the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer.
