Strategic priorities and growth plans
Leading the 2030 strategic plan with a focus on building scalable capabilities and driving innovation across brands, emphasizing strong, trusted brands and real consumer insights.

Continued investment in data, digital analytics, and advanced tools to drive revenue growth management and marketing efficiency, with a tighter integration of cross-channel analytics.
Doubling down on science-led growth, perceivable superiority, and professional engagement, especially in oral, pet, and skin care.
Incremental innovation and targeting premium price points are key to future growth.
Resource allocation and productivity initiatives
The SGPP (Strategic Growth and Productivity Program) is a multi-year, structural initiative to fund strategic investments and drive bottom-line growth, balancing investment and profitability.
AI and automation are being leveraged to enhance productivity, streamline processes, and enable more efficient resource allocation.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions
Toothpaste, Soap, and More
Colgate-Palmolive is an American multinational producer and distributor of consumer products. Colgate-Palmolive is the result of a merger in 1927, its most recognizable products are various kinds of toothpaste and soaps sold under the names Colgate and Palmolive respectively. The company is headquartered in NYC and is listed on the NYSE, and its products are sold in all corners of the world.
A Historic Merger
The origins of the Colgate-Palmolive Company can be traced back to two separate companies in the 19th century. In 1806, in New York City, William Colgate initiated a small enterprise focused on starch, soap, and candle production. Over the subsequent years, the business, under the consistent guidance of the Colgate family, diversified and expanded its product line, with its toothpaste gaining notable recognition. Meanwhile, the B.J. Johnson Soap Company unveiled the Palmolive soap in 1898. This unique soap, a blend of palm and olive oils, quickly resonated with consumers and became a sought-after product. By the early 20th century, both Colgate and Palmolive had established themselves as significant players in the personal care market and the two companies merged in 1928. Today, the company operates in the same industry as companies like Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Henkel, and several others.

Today, the brand offers a wide range of toothpaste with different qualities, from cavity protection to whitening and gum care. Alongside toothpaste, Colgate's product line encompasses manual and electric toothbrushes, designed for adults and children. The brand also produces dental floss, mouthwashes, and other specialized oral care items, such as toothpaste for sensitive teeth and treatments for conditions like gingivitis.
