In line with P&G’s global efforts to accelerate growth and value creation, the Company has decided to shift our business and operating model in Pakistan and transition to a third-party distributor model to continue to serve consumers. This means we will wind down the manufacturing and commercial activities of P&G Pakistan and Gillette Pakistan Ltd. and serve consumers from our other operations in the region.
We will continue to operate the business in the ordinary course until the process is complete, which may take several months. Supporting this Company decision, P&G Pakistan and the supporting regional teams will begin transition planning immediately, with a focus first on P&G people.
Employees whose roles are impacted by this decision will be considered for opportunities in other P&G operations outside Pakistan or will be offered separation packages in accordance with local laws, company policies, and our values and principles.
After consideration of a broad range of options, the Company has decided a third-party distribution model is the most prudent way to continue to serve consumers in Pakistan at this time.
Thank you for your support all these years that has helped us take P&G in Pakistan as far as we could.
