Our purpose is to deliver solutions and create value for our customers and suppliers, both internally to P&G and externally. We have a long history of investing and operating in the oleochemicals industry, going back to the early 1800s when P&G began using stearic acid in its candles and re-selling olein (red oil) as a co-product. Since 1837 we have taken a comprehensive approach to the business, focusing on delivering these key points of difference.
