How ethical are Procter & Gamble's Company Ethos practices?
Title: Far right US VP Dick Cheney was on their board through the 2000 elections.
Consumer Interest: Company Ethos (change)
"Vice President Dick Cheney was a member of Procter and Gamble's board of Directors from 1993 through the 2000 presidential election. Controversy arose when there was a sex quiz for younger teens on P&G;'s newly launched Web site, BeingGirl. The quiz was dropped after the Republican National Convention in 2000 when Cheney's ties to the company were made known.
Cheney also served on the company's public policy, audit, and compensation committees. As a member of the Board, Cheney was eligible to receive a compensation of $55,000 per year, provided he attended 75% of the meetings, as well as stock and stock options. According to spokesperson Linda Ulrey, Cheney took part in the company's corporate charitable gifts program."
