Effectiveness and efficiency in everything

Strong emphasis on effectiveness and efficiency in everything we do has been a priority at Colgate for many years.  The company continues to make progress in building a truly global supply chain supported by enterprise-wide software. 

Since 2004, Colgate has reduced the number of manufacturing plants worldwide by over 25%, and aims for the highest level of effectiveness and efficiency at all our plants, having implemented a new global approach to factory performance and reliability in 2008.
