Currently I work as a clinical research intern at Colgate-Palmolive Co. Their mission statement is as follows:

“As a Company that strives to be the best truly global consumer products company, we are committed to doing business with integrity and respect for all people and for the world around us. and Continuous Improvement will continue to drive our future initiatives.”

Having worked there just under 4 months so far, I can say that this mission statement lives up to the work ethic of the management and the employees. “Continuous improvement” is without a doubt present through the various upgrades in medical devices and consumer products researched and produced by the company every year.
A mission statement is a formal summary of the goals and values of the company. In the case of Colgate-Palmolive they are outlined with satisfaction. Colgate products are mainly known for their personal care and oral care divisions. These products are, indeed, used by most people around the world. Whether it be toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant etc. Colgate has strived to make improvements on all of its products. New formulas are always being developed to make their current products more effective and last longer. Compared to that of other medical product companies, Colgates mission statement is more precise and goal oriented, stating exactly what they strive to achieve.
