Company Strategy

Strategic Focus

We are focused on strategies that we believe are right for the long- term health of the Company and will deliver total shareholder return in the top one-third of our peer group. The Company’s long-term financial targets are:

  • Grow organic sales 1% to 2% faster than market growth in the categories and geographies in which we compete,
  • Deliver earnings per share (EPS) growth of high single digits to low double digits, and
  • Generate free cash flow productivity of 90% or greater.

In order to achieve these targets, we have created one over-arching strategy, inspired by our Purpose. At the heart of this strategy is innovating to win by touching and improving the lives of:

  • More Consumers. We are improving more consumers’ lives by innovating and expanding our product portfolio vertically, up and down value tiers. We continue to successfully develop and launch premium innovations focused on improving consumer value through enhanced performance. We are also serving consumers who are more price conscious through lower-priced offerings with superior performance versus other mid-tier and value-tier alternatives.
  • In More Parts of the World. We are improving lives in more parts of the world by innovating and expanding our existing product portfolio geographically into new markets. We are increasing our presence in developing markets and increasing the amount of sales from these markets by focusing on affordability, accessibility and awareness of our brands.
  • More Completely. We are improving lives more completely by innovating to improve existing products and creating or entering adjacent categories. We are driving regimen use that broadens the occasions for which our brands can serve the needs of each consumer. By attracting new consumers into our existing brand franchises and broadening the products used by our current consumers, we are able to build scale, reduce costs and profitably grow market share.

To achieve our targets, we will also leverage P&G’s core strengths that create competitive advantages and are critical to winning in the consumer products industry: consumer knowledge; innovation; brand- building; go-to-market capabilities and scale. We are coordinating our activities across categories and markets, acting more intentionally as one Company. We are driving productivity in all facets of the business through a combination of integration, simplification and digitization - freeing up resources to invest in innovation that improves lives and drives top-and bottom-line growth. Finally, we are strengthening the depth, breadth and quality of leadership at all levels of the Company to make P&G a more demand-driven, real- time, future-focused organization.
