POSITIONED FOR SUCCESS
P&G: SERVING THE
WORLD’S CONSUMERS

I have great confidence in our ability to accomplish this and much
more. That confidence rests on our new organizational design and on
our new processes, which will continually evolve. And, it rests on the
fact that these changes, as big as they are, are rooted in our funda-
mental purpose of serving consumers and achieving leadership results
and that they grow out of our long-established Values and Principles.
Above all, my confidence rests on the women and men of this
Company. I know them well. They are extraordinary. They are the
heart of this place. You can be assured their capability, their commit-
ment and their tenacity will renew this Company and ensure it con-
tinues to grow as one of the great corporations in the world. They will
take us into the new century with the greatest vitality in our history. Of
this, I am very sure.
I am confident that, with this organization under the leadership of
Durk Jager, our best years lie just ahead. I want to express my thanks
and appreciation for your confidence in, and support of, our Company.
