| This year's recipient of the multinational ACE award went to Proctor & Gamble in Nigeria and Pakistan. In Nigeria, Proctor & Gamble, a consumer packaged goods company, improves the local communities' water supply through education and purification technology, supports the health and well-being of new and expectant mothers and children through mobile clinics, provides a safe and healthy work environment, and conducts novel educational programs for teenage girls. In Pakistan, Proctor & Gamble's humanitarian assistance includes providing clean drinking water, food, hygiene products, medical care, and laundry services after unprecedented flooding in the region; cultivating sustainable partnerships to establish schools, early education programs, support for orphanages; reduction of carbon dioxide emissions at its facilities; and collaboration with universities to develop young business leaders. American businesses play a crucial role around the globe representing the United States and its values. In an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world, American corporations are ambassadors of the United States and American values. Sahlman Seafoods in Nicaragua and Proctor & Gamble in Nigeria and Pakistan are great examples of what American companies can achieve when they do business with a commitment to social responsibility. |
