Our core purpose of working together to create brands people love is founded on a commitment to quality in everything we do.

Active management of quality is vital to not only ensure the integrity of our brands and the creation of value for our shareowners, but also the strengthening of the bond we share with our consumers.

This policy reaffirms our commitment to quality through the application of rigorous quality standards within our business and the wider environment in which we operate.

We will:

1. Market high quality products that consistently meet our specifications and comply with local regulatory requirements.

2. Actively listen and regularly respond to the quality expectations of our consumers at the points of purchase and consumption.

3. Ensure that representations of our company image, including our trademarks, meet approved standards and reinforce our commitment to quality.

4. Encourage a “right first time” culture in which employees are appropriately trained and accountable for quality.

5. Operate audited quality management systems that deliver the policy.

6. Assign clear management accountability for setting and meeting measurable quality targets.

7. Work with our supply chain and business partners to drive compliance to our quality policy and systems.
