It took eight years, and 180 researchers, to develop a special polymer that helps prevent diaper rash. The result? Ultra Pampers®, and happier babies.
In fiscal year 2004/2005 P&G invested $1.8 Billion or 3.5% of Net Outside Sales in research and development (R&D). Over the years, P&G's R&D team has revolutionized home care with products ranging from Dryel®, the novel way to care for dry-clean-only clothes in the home, to Febreze®, the spray that actually cleans away odors.
|
Our success is based on a deep understanding of consumers, their habits and product needs; our ability to attract and support the best innovators in the world; our ability to acquire, develop and apply technology across P&G's broad array of product categories; and our capability to collaborate with external innovation partners. We measure our success by our ability to improve quality of life for consumers, now and for generations to come.
