P&G has been selected as one of the “Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World” for 2009 by Corporate Knights Inc. and Innovest Strategic Value Advisors Inc.

The distinction was announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Wednesday evening. This is the first time P&G has received this award, the result of its diligent efforts with key stakeholders, employees, and customers to further its global sustainability progress.

The Global 100 is awarded based on how effectively corporations manage environmental, social, and governance risks and opportunities, relative to their industry peers. Launched in 2005, the annual Global 100 is unveiled each year at the Davos event and through Business Week Magazine. The list was established to highlight the most sustainable companies in the world who successfully tackle key social and environmental factors they face in everyday operations.
