Colgate People Giving Back
Colgate people are demonstrating that their commitment to “People, Performance and
Planet” is deep and enduring, and an authentic expression of who they are.
Colgate encourages employees to volunteer through various programs worldwide.
For example, the Caring Hearts program at Hill’s Pet Nutrition in Topeka, Kansas, links
employees to more than 200 local agencies and their projects. Employees can earn
monetary donations for the not-for-profit agency of their choice, based on the number of
hours they serve during the calendar year. Through another Colgate program, employees
in some locations may request a $500 grant to charities where an employee volunteers
at least 50 hours annually.

in the U.S.
