Recognizing Colgate People

As a strong believer in rewarding exceptional accomplishments, Colgate has always publicly recognized employees whose achievements exceed expectations. The Chairman's "You Can Make a Difference Award" Program, introduced in 1986, was created to reward Colgate people all over the world and at all levels who exhibit innovation, ingenuity and performance excellence. Since 1986, more than 17,000 Colgate people have been honored through the Chairman's "You Can Make a Difference Award" Program.

Hundreds of projects are nominated each year. Three times a year, local winners are selected and from these "period" winners, local annual award winners are named. These semifinalists are evaluated annually by senior management; the winners receive Company stock with values ranging from $250 for period winners to $2,500 for global winners.
