A Word From Our Sponsors
"As P&G Alexandria Plant, in 2019 we celebrated our 50th Anniversary with our leaders here in Alexandria. As a company, we have a long-standing history of doing the right thing and for more than 180 years, this Company has delivered on consumer needs. This includes being a “Force for Good” and being active in our community as a part of our citizenship program. We build our citizenship program in the areas of Ethics and Corporate Responsibility, Community Impact, Diversity & Inclusion, Gender Equality and Environmental Sustainability. We have recognized that YPG is a good platform to enable our young leaders to be active in the community to contribute in the areas stated above. Many of our young leaders also enjoy being a part of these events. Therefore, it was a great opportunity to sponsor the YPG and enable our organization to raise our engagement to the next level in our community."
