That said, it does benefit an enormous number of people which must be acknowledged. They also fund the UNICEF immunization program to eradicate child tetanus worldwide which should also be applauded. However, this is viewed by senior management as a marketing activity that has successfully grown the pampers business by over 5-10% in most countries. Motives are very questionable but they do a lot of good so its a tough one to call. Even though they only really do it for sales, the indivduals are human and feel good about the help they give. The bottom line is always profit and share price. <br /><br />I agree they shouldn't take part in the Amex competition as they can easily afford $5m themselves. Also, i'm sure i read something about P&G employees paying a similar amount in fees to Amex each year for not getting expenses done on time for their monthly payments(which employees pay from their own pockets)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-28404056196741345932007-08-04T16:08:00.000-04:002007-08-04T16:08:00.000-04:00http://heatherspeakshermind.blogspot.com/Proctor a...http://heatherspeakshermind.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Proctor and Gamble makes me so angry...It wouldn't be easy to say I won't buy their products anymore, SEEING AS THEY MAKE EVERYTHING!!!

It's funny, too, cuz my Mom said I should submit my idea for a project and I told her I wouldn't bother cuz however it was set up, I knew it was rigged.<BR/><BR/>And just so you know, The Bear Maiden voted for Donors Choose, cuz they helped the Sun's school get some new Macs for the library.The Bear Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219416611385201896noreply@blogger.com
