Founded in 1807, Procter & Gamble is a company renowned around the world for its quality brands and long-standing relationship with consumers. William Procter and James Gamble were two different individuals who met by chance through the marriage of two sisters in Cincinnati, Ohio. William Procter was a candle maker while James Gamble was a soap maker. They were pushed into starting a business partnership by their father-in-law and so in 1837 Procter & Gamble was born. Despite the economic difficulties of the United States, in 1837 Procter & Gamble had its eyes on the future. The company began selling soap and candles. They received several contracts from the US Army to provide soap to soldiers. As the company expanded, so did their ideas and products. These products included grooming products such as razors and Crisco, which is a vegetable fat. Tide was a major product released by Procter & Gamble that took the company to great heights. The release of Tide launched the company into global markets. Procter & Gamble has grown continuously since then to the present day through acquisitions of other companies and through the quality of their superior brands. Procter & Gamble is committed to improving the daily lives of its consumers. My admiration is very high for Procter & Gamble for their high regard for the quality of their products. Procter & Gamble has recognized its impact as a powerful company and strives to be a corporate citizen with strong ethical values. The company stated that its purpose is to provide superior products and services to its consumers and will always be proud of that purpose. The company as a whole believes that by providing quality...... middle of paper......mmunity, it helps them get closer to consumers and become familiar with their communities globally. In today's society, corruption is never an unlikely problem. It takes integrity and courage to run a values-based company concerned solely with making ethical choices. Procter & Gamble, which began as a family business, still maintains the morals it was built on. The company has the capital and resources to expand its brands worldwide. In the future I would like to work for a company like Procter & Gamble because as an employee I would like to make a difference. As an employee I would have the opportunity to participate in their awareness programs. Working for a company that emphasizes giving back to the community and not only employs to build careers but also leaders, would be an honor.
