Peter Grom
UBS Investment Bank, Research Division
All right. Well, good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the UBS Global Consumer and Retail Conference here in New York City. My name is Peter Grom. I am the U.S. consumer staples analyst here at UBS. And we are very excited to have joining us this afternoon, John Faucher, Executive Vice President and Head of M&A and Chief Investor Relations Officer from Colgate-Palmolive.
Over the past few years, Colgate has implemented several strategic initiatives that resulted in improved financial delivery. Recently, the company outlined their 2030 strategy that will help the company deliver strong and top and bottom line growth looking ahead. In terms of format for today, I have a number of questions that I plan to ask John for the first 35 minutes or so for the last 10 to 15 minutes, if there’s any questions that you all have, please feel free to submit them. They’ll show up here on this iPad, I’d be happy to ask any questions on your behalf.
Before we start, however, I am required to read a legal disclaimer. As a research analyst, I’m required to provide certain disclosures relating to the nature of my own relationship and that of UBS with any company on which I express a view on this call today. These disclosures are available at www.ubs.com/disclosures. Alternatively, please reach out to me, and I can provide them to you after the call.
So with that, John, thanks for joining us today.
