At Colgate, we are committed to continuing to meet or exceed financial expectations of our shareholders.
Complete financial performance information is available on the Investor Relations page of our website.
Colgate’s long history of steady growth and strong performance comes from a strategy of tight focus on global brands in four core businesses: Oral Care, Personal Care, Home Care and Pet Nutrition. Among the Company’s goals for 2010 are to:
- Remain the undisputed global market leader in Oral Care
- Become the undisputed global market leader in Specialty Pet Nutrition
- Become a stronger global No. 2 competitor in Skin Cleansing, leading in liquids and successful in other large Personal Care categories
- Become a stronger regional leader in selected Home Care categories
To achieve these goals, organizational changes are being made. Subsidiaries are focusing exclusively on being the best at managing consumers, the profession and retail customers while functions that don’t fall under those areas, such as financial services, legal/tax/treasury, procurement, supply chain and human resources are being handled at the corporate or divisional level. The corporate/divisional role is evolving to encompass developing best-in-class global strategies and solutions to most effectively and efficiently enable subsidiary success and ensure a profitable future for Colgate.
Our financial success is not only critical to our shareholders; it impacts all of our stakeholders.
