P&G is committed to legal compliance wherever it conducts business. We expect
our suppliers to comply with all applicable laws of their country, including laws
relating to employment, discrimination, environment, and health and safety.
Suppliers who knowingly violate laws or have repeated problems conforming to them
will not receive our business.
P&G supports universal human rights, particularly those of our employees, the communities within which we operate, and the parties with whom we do business.
In our business award decisions, we will continue to place substantial value
upon incumbent and potential suppliers who consistently respect basic human rights.
P&G utilizes fair employment practices and strives to provide a safe,
healthful and productive work environment for its employees. The Company expects
suppliers to also maintain fair employment practices, specifically...
P&G does not use child* or forced labor in any of our global operations
or facilities, and we expect suppliers or contractors with whom we do
business to uphold the same standards. More specifically, we will not
conduct business with suppliers employing child, prison, indentured or bonded
labor, or using corporal punishment or other forms of mental and physical
coercion as a form of discipline.
P&G expects suppliers to conduct their business without unacceptable worker
treatment such as harassment, discrimination, physical or mental punishment,
or other forms of abuse.
P&G pays employees a competitive wage, as benchmarked with other leading
companies. Consistent with our principle of valuing personal mastery,
we reward employees for improving their skills and capabilities. At a
minimum, we expect our suppliers to comply with all applicable wage and
hour laws, and rules and regulations, including minimum wage, overtime
and maximum hours.

P&G commits to providing a clean, safe and incident-free work environment.
We expect suppliers to provide a safe work environment, to prevent accidents
and injury, and to minimize exposure to health risks.
P&G improves the environmental quality of our operations and our products.
We strive to do business with suppliers who share our concerns for and commitment
to preserving the environment. At a minimum, suppliers must meet all current,
applicable environmental rules, regulations and laws in their countries.
P&G believes in protecting the privacy of personal information. We strive
to treat information provided by an individual as that individual's, which
has been entrusted to P&G. We inform people about the use and handling
of data they provide us. We follow all pertinent data privacy laws and
regulations. When other companies are handling personally identifiable
data as our agents, we require them to abide by our privacy practices
as they relate to the data.

* In the absence of any national or local law, we will define "child" as less than 15 years of age. If local minimum age law is set below 15 years of age, but is in accordance with developing country exceptions under International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention 138, the lower age will apply. |

Our suppliers are valued partners in the success of our business. Our relationships with them must be based on honesty and fairness. Suppliers are selected on a competitive basis based on total value, which includes quality, service, technology, and price. Terms and conditions defining our relationship with
suppliers are communicated early in the supplier selection process and agreements
to such terms and conditions, or any acceptable modifications, are reached
before work begins. Included in these standard terms and conditions are
P&G's policies regarding payment terms, confidentiality, the use of intellectual
property, and labor practice expectations.

We conduct our business on the basis of the superior value of goods and services
we buy and sell. Our policy on gifts, entertainment and gratuities is designed
to preserve and maintain P&G's reputation as a global enterprise that acts with
integrity and bases decisions only on legitimate business considerations. Receiving
gifts, entertainment or other gratuities from people with whom we do business
is generally not acceptable, because doing so could imply an obligation on the
part of the Company and potentially pose a conflict of interest
